First, he couldn’t know that and, second, he wasn’t being serious. Still, his remark got me thinking. I am not impressed by email Christmas greetings. So, let’s try something. Send me Christmas cards from all over the world with cool stamps.
I’ll save the interesting stamps and see if there is a home school group that might be into stamp collecting. I have set up a mail box at a UPS Store. Fr. First, I enjoy all those sixes. I’ll let you know along the way how the card count is going. UPDATE 26 Dec: Cards are starting to come in. Cleveland, OHSt. UPDATE 31 December: I had a couple days away of down time. Really?
