I’m posting this because it really was my favorite Christmas card this year, and because I sent Elisa a card the week before Christmas and I’m not sure it arrived on time. I’m bad that way. I can get books to publishers weeks before deadlines. If you ask me to do an interview or blog post, I’ll deliver early. I even pay bills ten days in advance.

But ask me to write a Christmas card…or any kind of card…and I become completely kerfuffled.
