Christmas Cards
What to do — what to do. Here is my Christmas card dilemma — do I go to Sears and have some Christmas cards done? That is what I have done the last couple of years. However, I could set up a little studio here and take some pictures tomorrow in front of the Christmas tree (well, that is, if we actually get the tree up). Then I could upload the picture to my computer and either just print out pictures to include with our Christmas cards or head over to Walgreens and do their picture cards. Then I wouldn’t have to wait 10 days or more, and it would be a lot cheaper since I need to order over 60 cards! Decision, decisions. I have checked the cards we have gotten so far. A couple of my friends have went the professional route, some took a picture they took over the summer and used that, some took a recent picture and just shoved it in the card, and some used their kids school pictures. Well, that sure didn’t help me decide. On the subject of Christmas cards, I am not a person who writes up those “Christmas letters”. I don’t think anyone wants to know that I found a good deal over at www.corvetteguys.com or that Madison is fully potty trained. (Now, if you send out those letters, more power to you. I do not.) Which brings me back to where I started — how do you do your Christmas cards and what should I do?

Could you forget your child?
I understand being a pet lover even though I am not one. However, would you save your pet over your child? Would you forget that your child was even in the house?
I came across this story yesterday where a couple in Beaver County, PA, got their dogs out of their burning mobile home. However, Crystal Adams and James Chandler forgot his 4 year old son. After being asked repeatedly if anyone else was in the mobile home, they remembered after twenty minutes that the boy was in his room. A firefighter thankfully went in and saved the boy. He ended up getting treated for smoke inhalation. Crystal and James were charged with reckless endangerment.
I seriously cannot understand this. How do you forget your child? How do you get your dogs out before your child? As many of you know, I am not a pet lover, so maybe I am missing something here. The cause of the fire is still under investigation. I am hoping when they figure out what caused fire, this story doesn’t take another sad turn.
I have several questions for my readers especially the pet lovers (since I am so not a pet lover). If your house was on fire, who would you save first – your pets or your kids? Also, would you forget that your child was in the house?
