Today is expected to be the busiest mailing day of the year. The Postal Service plans to deliver 3 billion cards, letters and packages during the holiday season, which includes the 800 million parcels expected to be mailed today alone.
My heart hurts knowing I have not done my usual holiday card dance this year...I dream of a baby announcement or New Year card...

You know I LOVE this idea because it's "green" and involves a library!
The Gleeson Library in San Francisco put up their own
Christmas tree made from piles of their books. They even decorate it with ornaments. After the holidays, the bits and pieces go back on the shelves (the best kind of recycling).

"Once again we find ourselves enmeshed in the Holiday Season, that very special time of year when we join with our loved ones in sharing centuries-old traditions such as trying to find a parking space at the mall. We traditionally do this in my family by driving around the parking lot until we see a shopper emerge from the mall, then we follow her, in very much the same spirit as the Three Wise Men, who 2,000 years ago followed a star, week after week, until it led them to a parking space."
