My old friend Fred McCurdy passed recently and this is my first Christmas since that day.
He was the local area Santa Claus and I must say he really did strike a stunningly memorable Saint Nicholas with his holiday regalia and knowledge of the toys and such children request while sitting upon his lap.
This is Christmas Card Day.
It is that time when people start mailing holiday greeting cards to one another as a function of the joyous holiday season and it's a reminder to get your stamps, envelopes and greeting cards in order so you can participate.
These days we mail a lot of different Christmas cards during the holdays. The designs and styles are as varied as the people who send them.
I designed one myself in memory of my old friend Fred..

It's a picture of him in a very iconic pose as Santa Claus and I remember that jolly old elf he portrayed.
