My New Year\’s resolution for 2004 was to SLOW DOWN… As I review this past year I see I missed the mark - by choice and other times by circumstance… I am still debating whether to write a Christmas letter, or to simply direct all who are interested to my blog. Our year was just too crazy to really write about in a sweet Christmas letter…
Julie shared the reasons why she decided to do what she did, and got my mind a-swirling. I had not yet decided what to do when I read her post. I struggle with not sending our \”letter\” because I scrapbook it and it becomes our \”year in review\” to reminisce in later years. On the other hand, I have this blog which covers so much more…
I may be an odd one, but another reason I want to is… I enjoy reading other\’s letters. I know not all do, and some of whom are those I have sent our letters to in the past - I\’m sure:). I like \”catching up\” and know most friends and family far away are just as time-frenzied as I. Just as I cannot be counted on to correspond with 100 others consistently throughout the year - I expect that is the same for them.
Back to my quandry… Here are my options: a short but sweet synopsis, a lengthy (but witty:) letter, just a picture of the kiddos, or nothing… no, the last one is not an option. I\’m leaning toward a short blurb (some folks still don\’t know #3 is on the way) and as Julie did, send a picture of the kids and include my blog url. Maybe I\’ll wait until we move and do the \”We\’ve Moved\” announcement, but THAT depends on when our house sells! Oh well, worst case scenario - I remain indecisive, Christmas passes and nothing gets sent. It\’s not the end of the world, it is the season of our life…
