My Pink Christmas gift came in the mail yesterday. It was in a big box, but I carefully cut it open so I could peek in to see if it was wrapped. Fortunately it was so now it's under the tree looking lovely.
This is all the good mail I got yesterday! What a delight. It was mostly Christmas cards, but I also had a postcard from Natasha and a cute Christmas notepad from Kim Sue. Thanks!
Landon got a letter from Santa. Every year he writes a letter to Santa and puts it in our mailbox with no stamp or anything, then several weeks later a letter comes addressed to him and postmarked from North Pole, Alaska. It's so nice.
Isn't this a cool postmark? Landon ripped the envelope (#$@!) even though I was trying to coach him so that he wouldn't. Kids.
Jana sent me this nice thank you card last week for the Paris book I gave her.
Our Christmas card cupboards are filling out nicely. Randy and I are baby stepping our way with our cards and are hoping to get them out tomorrow or Thursday. This makes me crazy, next year I want them out before December hits double digits.
I love looking at all the Christmas cards, especially the photos.
Look at this cute card from Jennifer. It's a double sided ornament with photos and Merry Christmas on it. It's darling. She even had their family picture in their postage stamp.
Randy's dad and step mom are in town because Randy's sister just had her 7th baby. They brought an entire suitcase full of wrapped gifts for our family. The kids were bonkers with excitement.
I spent a productive hour at Target today and got some serious Christmas shopping done. It wasn't crowded or too hot or anything, woohoo.**How goes your Christmas shopping?

That is awesome about the letter from Santa! That postmark is the best.
Your cards look so great on your cupboards. I mailed mine today. Started them November 30 -- how on earth did it take me this long to get them out?
Brynlee went to a crazy birthday party on Saturday where she went horseback riding, bowling and rollerskating. She was so sore, she has just been hobbling since.
How are your hula hoop bruises? I'm worried about those.
Man, I wish I would have thought of that idea about Santa. I think it's a bit late now.....
I finally have had some cards trickle in and fill up some dead space as well. For a week I thought no one was sending cards (it was making me sad)
I hope you are taking care of those muscles of yours. That women sounds frightening! Angie had a lady do that to her at the gym about a year ago and she was faint too. Hmmm is there a training conspiracy??
Jen's card is amazing. Love it!
i really should get on with the Christmas shopping...
i have sent, and received, Pink Christmas. oh, the anticipation (on many levels!)
We're experiencing some technical difficulties with our picture we were going to use for our cards, so our Christmas cards have yet to be mailed either. But I'm hoping to get them mailed soon, those and a box of presents to Utah relatives. So much to do, so little motivation. Sigh.
I got my pink Christmas gift in the mail today! So very exciting.
I only have one item left that I really want to buy. We'll see if I can find it.
last year I was so busy I sent Valentine's day cards. It was actually really fun.
How did I not know this about the letter to Santa? Lucas would be all over that!
I've gotten a lot of cute cards (loved Jennifer's!) but no progress has been made on mine. I'm thinking either New Year's cards or waiting until next year...
I also spent an hour at Target today and accomplished a lot. No crowds! Hopefully tomorrow I can finish the rest.
How goes your Christmas shopping?
I think I am about done..
Any letters from Santa?my kids wrote to santa at the christmas tree farm, and santa wrote back.. so cute!
Have you sent or received your Pink Christmas gift? yes! Imaybe I should peek in too, to see if it is wrapped!
love jennifer's card! too cute!
**How goes your Christmas shopping? im DONE TODAY!! whoo hoo-and no cranky shopper experiences either..
Any letters from Santa? oh darn thats a cute idea!! why cant i be clever like that!??!
Have you sent or received your Pink Christmas gift? i opted out of pink xmas this year..too much for me to add to my plate...i do know people are "cheating though" shhhhh dont tell!!
im LOVING my xmas cards/photos too-my FAVORITE part of the holiday stressmus season! i personally enjoy when all family members are in the photo, and when there is a LETTER!! i like you have yet to get mine out--which is why i wait till AFTER XMAS when there is NOTHING TO DO..and do them..i call it the hales family wrap up--its so less stressful!
A suitcase full of gifts - fantastic! I love your christmas cupboard of goodness, sorry to hear about your hobble of a walk. I, too, am curious like Kelly about your hula hoop bruises!, I have ONE, only ONE more item for Christmas. Cards out. Pink Christmas out weeks ago, neighbor and friends gifts just about done - then I can bake! Yahoo!
I love the letter from Santa....what a great idea!! My kids would love that!
I am dying laughing at your last post! That girl is just a LITTLE too into her job. She needs to relax a little, two women in one day on the floor??? SHeesh!!
We will have to try out leaving the mail in the box. I usually dispose of it after the kids go to bed.
I tracked by Pink Christmas gift and it made it to its destination. Mine hasn't come, tomorrow is the last chance before we leave. I hope it makes it or I will have to try not to peek at the unwrapping website on Christmas.
Father Christmas letters are brilliant. I made one for Erin last year and posted it out to her. She nearly wet herself when she received it - hahaha. Argh! to Landon ripping a lovely envelope! Tch! ;-P
I've got a slow trickle of cards coming in (top notch quality this year, thank goodness! cf past post on cheap cards - hahaha) You've got tonnes!! I've hardly sent any either yet, so don't panic.
I've put an online order through for all my groceries today and they're being delivered on Saturday. Blllllliss! And presents are all bought. I think I still have a hankering to buy flowers, though...kerching!£££!
Pink Christmas. Eek, I totally b*llsed up on my USA delivery dates and I'm sure my lady will get hers late. So I think I'll have to email her profuse apologies. I'm trying to stay positive, though, and call it a 'learning curve'. *blush*
What's wrong with your legs?
wondered about you this morning. how are you holding up now that the shopping trek is over?
i mailed PC on Monday. I love tracking it online. Too fun! (is this crazy?)
i haven't gotten my gift yet but my gal hasn't either since it is en route so i have faith that mine will be here on time. besides, the less time it is here, the less time i am tempted by it! :)
i love the landon letter. i have never done a letter. i feel sad about that...
oh and i send New Year's cards. I have thought about Valentine's though...
Thanks for the feature Jill! I checked in to see who had gotten our card and Landry was so excited to see a photo of his photo on your blog-he feels famous! He is also almost in tears because he's never gotten a letter from Santa-thanks a lot. I guess I need to get the scoop on that sweet deal.
Love the letter from Santa!! My pink christmas has arrived and mine has been mailed :o)
What a cute card from Jennifer! I love your whole collection of cards, and especially your stack of mail. Wow.
I knew our cards would not be mailed by this time if I waited to get a picture to include with them -- so we did without this year. Is that boring?
It's looking mighty festive at your place!
Our town post office puts out a mailbox just for Santa letters. So my tykes dropped their letters off a few weeks back and last week they got letters back from some of Santa's elves! It's great! We love it and I keep their letters in their scrapbooks.
Pink Christmas gift sent a few weeks back and have received mine as well! One of the gifts couldn't be wrapped so I did get an early gift, but was surprised that another one was wrapped in the box and now sits under my tree for Christmas day, I am way excited too! So glad I joined in the fun!
wow how fun. I want to know about alaska too....the cards look brilliant. I have received like 15 or so...it is fun. I love them. I have sent mine in batches of 50 or so it seems, I have over 200...what is up with that? Need postage that is 20 cents again. or less....I sent my pink today...and got it last week. Fast...I don't know how in the world time just flew the last couple of weeks.. where....
I love that idea of the ornament/card...and hey missy send me a card with your photo postage...so I can delight...your new photo would look awesome.
ciao darling
it was nice talking to you today very very very nice
My kids don't write to Santa... they make a Christmas list but Santa never really comes up... the more I hear (and realize I forgot to do) I also realize that Santa really isn't a big part of our Christmas. That postmark is cute... maybe you should be in charge of reminding me? Did Whitney get one too?
I am done shopping.
I am a Pink Christmas loser this year... I didn't sign up (not that I just flaked).
Did Michelle say "next year"!!??!
oooh- the shuffle. i've experienced that many a day. good luck! ibuprofen...
i love that hanging card! what a great idea! i'm still working on getting all the cards out- ironically, it's the fam that hasn't received theirs yet!
Very cute letter from Santa. We've talked about having our kids write one every year, but they never have. Thank goodness it all still manages to work out.
I believe my shopping is done. I always get a little panicky at the last minute and go and buy some extra crap, but in my mind...I think I've got it all covered.
Looks like super trainer is going to make you super strong. I haven't been all-over sore in a very long time.
