As I do every year, I created a holiday card. Using MSPublisher I layout and print the card. Print labels and then mail the cards out to family and friends. People I know I’ll be seeing, I put the card in with their gift.
This year’s card features my older daughter,Emily.
Holiday card2004<\/a>
She’s 2 1\/2 now. (time flies…sniff) I remember when she was so small. She’s now a toddler running around and such. She’s also a big sister. Her younger sister,Amanda is 8 mos. and has inherited dad’s bright red hair. I’m sure to make a portrait of her at some point. Perhaps even both of them together. They get along ok, and get silly sometimes. <\/p>\n

The busy holiday season is in full swing. Our family has a mix of jewish and christian relatives. So it means we celebrate two holidays close together. This year we’re trying to watch what we spend on gifts. We decided on a rough amount to spend on each. Sometimes I think Thanksgiving is so easy, just cooking up a bunch of great dishes. <\/p>\n

One way we decided to unstress ourselves is by shopping online. You can browse with out the crowd. I usually end up at Amazon.com, yet there are other places.<\/p>\n

Mommyclassifieds<\/a>: one of WAHM’s pages has a Paypal Holiday page where you can shop showcased products from different work-at-home business.<\/p>\n

then there’s Ebay.<\/p>\n

I found a new auction site sort of like Ebay but has different features.
ioffer.com<\/a>:
one of their features is a negotiation section. <\/p>\n

May the joy of the holidays come through. Lighting the hanukah candles, I remember not only why we celebrate the miracle but that the light shines bright and warm in this cold,wintery season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
