This was going to be the Christmas card I sent out this year, but I decided against it. It just felt too hackneyed to me (click to enlarge):

The one I actually sent will get posted after Christmas sometime, once everybody's received theirs. On Thursday, I finally finished the card design and mailed out 275 cards across the US and Canada, also reaching the UK, Australia, and the Philippines. And by "I mailed out", I mean I provided a company with the image for the card, an address book, and let them print the cards, add stamps, and mail them for me. It's the thought that counts, though.

Also, thanks to Heather for the delicious-looking chocolate pecan pie (and gift!) that arrived on Friday. I haven't had a chance to eat it yet, but I plan on consuming the entire thing in the immediate future. You are awesome!
