Have yourself a Merry little (late) Christmas


So, our mail is an issue here. Namely, that we don't get any mail directly-it comes via John's office in Dallas, through UPS or FedEx, then to John's office's contracted partner here in Johannesburg. The contracted partner is usually in John's client's office, not his own. So, sometimes our mail sits at said office, after sitting in Dallas and then sitting on various FedEx transport vehicles, for weeks.

Our Christmas cards just got here.

and thank you all, those of you who bothered to send cards to friends who've abandoned you (Malens-your card did arrive, sorry we're black listed!). Thanks for letting us know that things are cheerful and merry (or were) in your neck of the woods.

It was fun to feel connected to you.
It was nice to see how your beautiful families have grown.
It was sweet to think that we might see some of you again after a long time away from an old home.
It was lovely to remember that no matter how many years or miles separate, friends remain dear year after year.

Hurrah! The stuffing and stamping and licking was well worth it! Yeah!
