This was the Christmas card sent out by my family in 1970. In the interests of recycling, I think it makes a perfectly adequate Christmas card for 2008, don’t you?Plus I’m WAAAAY cuter in this picture than I am now. (I'm the one standing.)
Dear Friends and Family,
I’m not doing my usual Christmas letter where I give you far more information than you probably want on my hobbies and employment; in a nutshell, I am busy, healthy, and reasonably satisfied with my life. Despite the current economic crisis, I am unaccountably hopeful for the future, and looking forward to 2009.
I turned 40 this month, and as I turn this corner, it is the last time I plan on openly announcing my age. As I venture onward into Old Maidenhood, I plan on living a productive & engaged existence and keeping the number of cats I own to a reasonable number. I will probably continue to have a new hobby every year or so (For 2008 it’s amigurumi—wikipedia.org/wiki/Amigurumi).
Here’s hoping for joy and happiness in the New Year for all of us; God bless and keep you and your family safe and well in 2009!

Merry Christmas to you, Susan! I love the family photo. How fun. I am actually Amy, not Emily, but I guess her facebook must have been signed on. Blessings to you in 2009.
Okay, I give up. I've looked and looked, and have come to the conclusion that no child in that picture is standing. Are you saying that you are not in the photo?
Oh geeze - OK, I'm sort of leaning, but I am standing!
I wasn't there. I'll have to take your word for it.
