And then there is the Christmas card rush -- If you say you have yours all ready to mail, I,11 just weep! That is another, session with the burning of the midnite oil that always throws me! Chances are ten to one that I'll be addressing cards like mad — when -I see a name that just HAS to have something special. If I can't find it •in the dozens of cards I have strewn about me then I'll MAKE one — and there by hangs a tale! I've made some of the dandiest or dangdest Christmas cards you've ever seen! (And everyone enjoyed them.) So I should start on cards right now and I may be mailing them on time. What I SHOULD. do now is look for the boxes of cards I bought after Christmas 'on special' and the nice ones left from last year — that I never even got around to mailing! My main trouble at this time is that I have to write special notes on each and every card I send.__A lot of these .go.to_ people. I don't `talk' to at any other time of the year. I keep promising I will write but usually it is Christmas again before I do it. Every friend I have is something special in my life. If they don't get a card they know and understand, if they do get one it is just about as newsy as a full letter. And so it goes — I'm glad I have so many friends who are REAL friends and understand a — not flighty — perhaps a flippity-gibbit? — like me. There's not too many of us — I trip. , -- But, then again, you•wouldn't have the fun of seeing all the gifts that show up at this season only and there's something of a challenge in bucking the' crowds at this time of the year. Guess it just depends on the person. I have often bought things in the summer for this purpose and sure as fate I'll forget all about it or.forget where I put it. So it just doesn't pay for a mixed up character like , me to try to change their habits. I'll still stay up till .3 or 4 a.n;. Christmas eves Ashfield CORRESPONDENT MRS. E.
