In lieu of Christmas, I ask every prospective sender to send me $10.00. This makes the sending a more personal thing and therefore more enjoyable for the sender as well as the for the recipient (me!)

But old traditions are hard to replace with new traditions. People have a hard time with changes. However, I am a persistent cuss, and , though I have made no converts in my last twenty years of diligent effort, I will continue to lobby for the creation of this new tradition.

Bobert and Jerry sent me a card. I thank them greatly for this. However, after they read this post, they will then know what I expect next Christmas!!!
