It's been a stressful few weeks and I fell behind on my thank-yous, but I had this wonderful lot of happy mail show up along the way. Thank you all for your beautiful and thoughtful cards! Happy holidays <3

u/boyegcs - I love your resolution for next year! I have a music-related one as well, I'm hoping to listen to one new album a week to hopefully discover some new music to listen to. Regarding the lovely winter weather here, the only way I've found that helps me is to get outside at least once if possible. I look for breaks in between the rain and that's helped tremendously! Even if it's just a walk to the mailbox or something similar. Those long rainy days can be rough though, I'm glad you finally got your break! Thank you for your lovely card - the artwork is so nice! And I really like all the stickers and washi you included <3 Hope you had a good Christmas and have a Happy New Year!

u/azalea7teen - Thank you for you lovely holiday postcard! And thank you for sharing your favorite Christmas food :) I think my favorite is mashed potatoes and stuffing with gravy!
