Old Fashion

There are a few things in life that I am really old fashion about.  One being Christmas Cards. 

I LOVE Christmas cards!  I love sending them and I love getting them.  I love to see peoples names signed at the bottom.  I especially love when the person took time to write a message, even if it is only Merry Christmas. 

While making my cards this year I realized that my address book is very out of date.  I got my address book when I got married, and in the past 3 1/2 years many of my friends have transitioned into married life which often means moving to a new home.  Needless to say, half my book is marked through and redone on the next page.  It's what I like to call a "Hot Mess". 

I looked for a new address book but was highly disappointed.  They don't make cute address books anymore!  Why?  Because writing letters and sending cards is a lost art!  People don't send cards like they use to!  No one writes letters!  Quite frankly, it's sad! 

I was sharing this thought with a friend of mine and she informed me that I was an old lady.  Then she added, "We're so sad!  In my day, you had address books."  We laughed, but it's true!  Kids growing up now think an address book is only in e-mail or on your iPhone!  What is the world coming to! 

My hubs things technology is taking over the world.  (His actual thoughts on this are much deeper and would require a much longer post that I could not do justice.)  Although I think he is a bit extreme at times, I do think he is right.  It is sad that people don't write letters, and send cards, and TALK IN PERSON anymore!  It's sad that I don't keep a journal but have a blog! 

Call me old fashion, but I'm sending my Christmas Cards anyway!
