Hi Emily, just catching up... this is gorgeous, thank you 🙏✨👍 Also, I’ve been meaning to say that me and Pip curled up by the tree on Christmas Eve and read “Aunt Moll” together.. what a fabulous story and such gorgeous illustrations.. we both LOVED it! It was perfect for Christmas Eve bedtime and Pip still gets excited to see your hand written message especially for her at the front. 🥰 I hope you’ve had a calm and joyful Christmas 🎄 and wishing you a very Happy New Year! 🥳✨🎉

Oh Eva, thank you so very much for sharing this with me. What a beautiful picture I have in my mind of you both enjoying such a special moment, and that our little story of Aunt Moll accompanied it, is such an honour. I am humbled by your words. Sending much love and wishes for a wonder filled year ahead ✨💛

Maybe next year - yes, me too. There are people who I should have written a personal message to, but time always seems to get away from me! I hope that you had a lovely time and are enjoying betwixmas 🤍

Yes! The pressure is off, and you can just enjoy the time without worry about all the things that must be done 💛✨

Thank you for your gorgeous card dear Emily, I haven't sent card sin years, every year I think about beginning again but then I think of the trees and the waste and I simply can no longer justify this tradition. It is sad... my mantles look sad without them but it is an adjustment that I am trying to get used to. xx

Thank you dear Susie, for being part of this community and for your generosity and support always. I think perhaps, we can let go of traditions for reasons that are right, but keep their memory alive within our souls x

What a beautiful Christmas card, Emily. Thank you so much.

PS: I do not plan to send cards any longer. So that prevents me from "failing" :-)

I think this is a very good plan Almut! I think I will plan not to next year instead of thinking I will and not getting round to it 💛✨

Each year, I think that I will do better, and each year, I do not! Wishing you a lovely holiday season Terry, (cardless!)

I resorted to Jacquie Lawson ecards in the end! I'm the same every year as well. Thanks, Emily, you too!
