Season's Greetings

I addressed and signed my Christmas cards today. I'll have to decide whether or not to write a Christmas letter this year. Not much has happened this year, nor in the last few years for that matter. I do have a few personal messages to send this year. But not very many. Sending Christmas cards is going out of fashion. Postage and the cost of cards keep going up. I've got an old stock of postage stamps left over from my mother. She used to get religious stamps to put on the letters to my father's Catholic relatives and secular Christmas stamps to send to her own family. The secular stamps got used up faster than the religious ones. Some of those folks who didn't get one Madonna and Child stamp years ago will get two with their card this year. It's a little early in December, but while I'm in the mood, happy holidays and season's greetings to everyone reading this!

I made chili last night. In the desire to do something a little different, I made the chili into burritos. I ate a little less chili than usual, but a lot more tortilla. Probably not much calorie advantage one way or the other. And as usual looking forward to leftovers!
