I only sent two Christmas cards this year, one was to my mother and the other to D.D. an old flame from college days who sends me a card every single year, bless him and it warms my heart every year. A very special relationship;innocent soul contact, love , if I dare to say, that has survived the years.There should be 35 cards somewhere. I haven't thrown them away. not on purpose, anyway.

Imagine my surprise when MT's card came today and it was the SAME as the one I sent to my mpther. WHat are the chances of THAT happening ? I chose mum's card specially- a picture of a gnome m christmas tree, box of matches and one of those angel chime carousels .. you know the ones I mean ? My son signed it and even commented " That's a nice card , where did you get that ? " Not like him at all,

MT is LT's grandmother , my son's first serious girlfriend and a very dear member of my extended family. I always feel a deep love connection when I think of MT.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm cosy lovey dovey feeling inside now .. I am touched by the spirit of Christmas ... or just plain old sentimental ?
