The Winner of the Christmas Card Race

We got our first Christmas Card in the mail on Tuesday! Its a local artist's image of the New Hope / Ivyland railroad done up as the Polar Express sent by our friends 'KBud'. Isn't it charming? Now we just have to wait for the others - oh, and send ours out to everyone. Bonus points to them for a hand-written note on the inside.

That reminds me that last year I saw a contest in a magazine that had points for each item - if it was a postcard photo you got X points, if there was a typed letter inside, you got another set of points, if the inside of the envelope had that pretty foil you got more points, etc. At the end you tally up your points for all your holiday cards for the season and if you're playing against a neighbor or family member, whoever gets the most points wins. Otherwise its just a fun way to keep track of your cards I guess.
