Our first incoming Christmas card arrived yesterday. I saw the envelope in the mailbox and groaned.
I've been one of the early birds in the past — although for me, early meant Day-After-Thanksgiving at best. There were the two years when I drove out to Christmas, Florida to deposit my cards in the mail and get the Christmas postmark. This year, the box of cards I bought last year to use this year, are still somewhere in storage with the Christmas décor. Then there's the buying of holiday postage to contend with. With any luck, this year's cards might get addressed and mailed by mid-December. Or they might become cards for 2005. I'm having quite the lack of holiday-prep-work enthusiasm this year.
And the Post Office chose this week to announce they want stamps to cost 41¢ by next year? Tell me this is coincidental timing, really.
Wow; amazing you've already received a Christmas card. But not really. I have a friend who usually sends his (handmade) cards 1-2 days after Thanksgiving. I love cards! P.S. Thanks for the link!

We haven't received any cards yet, but we did have photos taken of us in front of the tree with Logan. It was quite a challenge to get him to sit still between us. We hope to have the photos by end of this week and we can print the best one for our Christmas card inserts. Gotta show off the puppy!
