This year, we're keeping it close to home for the holidays. I'm ignoring all my far away friends and family (sorry if that's you) and only focusing on those people that influence my family's life on a day-to-day basis.
I just bought some treats (believe me, no one wants me BAKING anything for them) and included a small note detailing how much I appreciate them. As I started making a list, I realized how many people I rely on and take for granted.
Such as:
My mail lady who always comments on how cute and clever my homemade postcards are (the people I mail them to never say a word -- maybe she's keeping them?).
My neighbor who had her children make get well cards for my sick kids and even brought them breakfast in bed (homemade waffles!).
My milk man who comes every Monday (even if it's a holiday) and never gets my order wrong.
The couple down the street who opened up their business for Nigel's cub scouts to tour and they had a GREAT time.
The kids who play with my kids every day (even though my kids have a hard time sharing).
My list soon grew to more than 50 people. What a blessing it is to be surrounded by so many terrific people who serve me and my family throughout the year. Thank you!

You're cute...and I did mention I love your postcards...even though the bomb comment may put us on a "watch list!!!"
Yes, you did (you were the only one -- probably because you were so surprised that it got to you!). Actually, that was my mail lady's favorite one.
