Hello,

Just me, super late at reading e-mail, again.  I do have some great excuses
linked to traveling and overwork, but I'll skip them.

You will be happy to know (ok, you probably don't really care), that I have
already finished four Christmas presents, and will finish another three more
within the next two weeks.  Oh, I usually start making Christmas presents in
January, working a bit on them through to April, a bit more from April to
August, and then a lot from September to early December.  What isn't done by
early December goes to next year.

I also make a lot of my Christmas cards.  Since I write the cards in November,
and mail them in early December, I actually start making Christmas cards (for
the following year) in December.  I currently have 15 done, all bells, some in
tatting and some in bobbin lace.  It's fun.

Yep, I'm one of those "Christmas all year long" type of person.  I must admit
that a few years back, I scaled down the hand-made Christmas presents.  First
year it happened not a peep from anyone.  Second year, major complaints!!!
Every one wanted to know how come I missed "them" two years in a row!!!!!

Not really a big deal, I just like making things ....
