This is mostly a repost from last Christmas, but like Lori did with her Thanksgiving thread, I changed a background and updated the *signatures* at the end of the opening post.
I guess because I'm usually out of town and on slow dial-up at Christmas, I must not have remembered the Christmas card story. I can recall being very frustrated trying to access FR, and especially the Finest, from Mom's computer and dreadfully slow ISP. :-)
This year I'm seeing things differently from the comfort of my own computer. So, it's definitely not a rerun for me.
We made it back home from going out for a couple of hours with our sanity intact. It's getting crazy out there as last-minute shoppers make their way to the stores!
