Yay! This is the perfect reason not to feel guilty about not sending printed Christmas cards!

I joined in last year (do I remember wrong or did you aim to buy a cow last year?) and I’m totally in this year…. think we might just up our annual donation to RWH NICU in my girl’s names… or maybe something new!

I don’t even do Chrimbo emails anymore. I give my usual donations to the charities we’ve decided on (World Vision, Lost Dogs home, Anti Cancer, AIDS council etc) and then just don’t send anything.

I figure that if I’m still in touch with someone and vice versa, that’s good enough. Paying to buy cards and then fill out the damn things (because, let’s face it, the husband doesn’t do it) only to get some back in return that fall off the mantelpiece every time someone opens the door just. isn’t. worth. it.

Bah Humbug crossed with a fair amount of laziness!
