Christmas Card

Seems more and more people these days opt to send Christmas, or as seems to be the fashion of these times, "Holiday" cards in electronic form instead of by the quaint but more personal "snail mail" method. Truth be told, a lot of it has to do with the rapidly accelerating pace of life, which negates much of the priceless time we have for the little details; the personal touch is a dying custom.

Your Committee brothers and sisters do not have a magic wand which helps conjure up Time from some kind of Cosmic magician's hat, even though supposedly there is a Magician in the group. Nevertheless, we are taking some Time to send you, our beloved classmates, a Christmas greeting. A feeble attempt has been made to give it somewhat of a personal touch, since it is impossible for us to mail each of you a special greeting. So, just suspend belief a bit, as we used to do during this magical time when we were kids...perhaps we should try staying kids at heart.

This is for you. Fine calligraphy may not be in evidence here, but the Christmas Letter is no mass production item - handwriting just makes it a little more personal in this impersonal world. The Letter may not come in the mail, but it does come from the heart.




Ah, but of course, it is customary for a Letter like this one to be sent inside a Christmas card.

Here is your card...

One more thing...if you are going away for Christmas or New Year's or both...please be careful; we want you to be safe - after all, we have quite a few Reunions left to make, God willing. May he Bless you and your loved ones in 2009!

Merry Christmas!
