Christmas cards.Every year, we send them to family and friends. But every year, it stresses me out. Not sure why. I always tell myself to get the boys' photo taken early in the fall, but it never happens.I tell myself to create my photo cards online in the first week of December, but something inevitably comes up. I love, love, love receiving cards in the mail, yet it's another reminder that I STILL HAVEN'T DONE MINE!I'm usually the one slapping postage on my cards as though I'm in some Olympic event. I'm the one who actually feels the weight lift off my shoulders when I drop my stack of holiday wishes in the "To Be Mailed" slot.So this week, I picked up my photo cards that I had ordered and drove home on a mission. All I had to do was address these puppies and I would be finito.I decided Greg could help speed up the process. He could stuff them and seal the envelopes. We had nearly 75% completed when he blurted out, "Do you know they spelled your name wrong? They spelled it 'Debor-E-h?'WHAAAAT?I knew there was NO WAY I was doing them all over again. It just might be the first year we nix holiday cards altogether. I was obviously not cut out to be a Christmas well-wisher."Just kidding," Greg said.I wasn't laughing, meanwhile my cards go out tomorrow.

The Curse of Christmas Cards

I happen to love the Everybody Loves Raymond show on the Christmas card. It kinda-of puts into perspective how I feel about the cards and brings a lot of laughter with it. If you haven't seen this episode, it should be one you find for the Christmas season. We all seem to have some either fears of the writing the card, getting the card or what not.
Thanks for putting up a great website for Radio people. Radio Connection is the only place I know that takes the stress out of a 2-4year degree and spending 30-90k before getting resume time in the radio station. From day one, students are under a professional at a radio station getting trained one-on-one. http://www.radioconnection.com for voice overs, sportscasting, broadcasting, programming and more.
