Although GeneaBloggers assumes that everyone will understand that the information on this site is intended to foster knowledge expansion among the genealogy and family history community, other sites have these fancy disclaimers and it sure is fun to tug on their capes. So here goes:

We’re working on it, but don’t hold your breath, and don’t try to make us responsible for other sites, bad weather, global warming or any malady that befalls you.
So there it is. We've done the disclaimer thing. Aren’t you glad we got that out of the way? Now back to the business of blogging about genealogy and family history.

RT @geneabloggers: Advent Calendar of Christmas Memories – December 4th – Christmas Cards http://su.pr/6ASyTf #Christmas #ACCM10 #advent
My family always send out lots and lots of Christmas cards. Both my Mom and my Dad were really into it. They worked together to fill out up to 300 cards every year. They always kept the many cards they received in a big wicker basket. I still make sure every year that I go to my Mom’s after Christmas and read her basketful of cards.
In 2002, after my father passed away, my Mom gave me all of the cards that they had received every Christmas for the past 50 years! Wow, what a treasure trove! My husband actually scanned each and every one and we have them cataloged by year. I then gave them all to a local church where they were doing craft projects. Of course, I save many sentimental ones.
The oldest Christmas card I have is one that was sent in 1914 from my great-aunt, Linnie JACOB Parslow, in Ireland to her father here in the United States!
Sadly, I don’t know how to post a picture of it!

I love that your Mom saved all of those 50 years of Christmas cards. She is a woman after my own heart.
