Cards and Puzzels

This Christmas, I bought a puzzle to keep on the table

for us to work on throughout the break,

but it was only there a day before we (not me) put it together.

I may not participate in putting the puzzle together, and will 

admit that I've been known to hide a piece so that when it's 

almost all done; I can put the last piece in.

While the puzzle and movies commenced, I put together our

Christmas cards.  I only put together a handful of them before becoming

terribly distracted by Lord of the Rings 

(we always watch this series at Christmas),

then I only sent out that handful and didn't finish the rest,

and I didn't even feel bad about it.
And that also means that I'll be using all the Christmas stamps 

I bought for the cards until July- at least!

I think I'm over Christmas cards.

There are many reasons for this decision; I'll leave it at that.

But here is this year's (and maybe last) Nielson Christmas card:

Christmas break, here we come!
