'Tis the Season for Glitter

During the holiday season, I look forward to coming home to find Christmas cards in the mailbox. We had a large stack of mail yesterday and I was happy to see three Christmas cards among the sale flyers, coupons, junk mail, and bills. Finding a Christmas card tucked between a stack of bills and junk is always a welcome surprise. As I opened the first card and started to slide it out of the envelope, glitter started sprinkling down from the envelope onto the counter. The card had a glittery cover and the glitter made its way onto my fingers as I slowly pulled it from the envelope. I put the card in our decorative Christmas card holder, brushed off my hands and opened the next card. This card was a glitter-less card, but I still had glitter on my fingers so I unintentionally made it a glitter-smattered card when I put it in our card holder. The third and final card of the day was another glittery card and I laughed this time as the glitter sprinkled out of this envelope and clung to my fingers. By that point, my fingers looked like the fingers of a child who had just come from Arts & Crafts hour at vacation bible school. As I washed the glitter off my hands, I said to Aaron, “”Tis the season for glitter, I guess,” and we both laughed.

Thanks to Adam & Jen, Greg & Andrea, and Judy & Amanda for kicking off the holiday card-giving season for us!
