Well that was a long day at the post office.....

As the title says, everything is in the mail. The Post Office says things should get where they are going by Christmas with the exceptions of those going overseas, which is, of course, anyone's guess; though I am hopeful for those as well based on how fast they crossed the oceans last year.

I'm also sad to say that for the first time, the project may not have paid for itself. The last couple of years cut it close, but we had a lot fewer orders this year and as usual, postage went up. But...whatcha gonna do eh?

But all that aside, here's a holiday photo for you. And yes, for those wondering, that big, white ribbon is the postal receipt from today.

I hope you all like what you see when it gets there!!

Merry Christmas!!!!

Oh and by the way, that's a 7-foot-tall tree...without the stand.

Thanks for offering Arumako, but there's no need for more postage from anyone. Hopefully more calendars find homes; that will even things out eventually.

And regarding my Adamas, I've taken to calling it my Christmas ornament. It's certainly festive enough to fill the role.

Wow! That was fast!

Thanks again for offering everyone. I didn't mean to make it sound bleak or anything. I was just noting that we came up a little bit short so far, which has not happened before. But no need to worry, it's not a lot and nothing I can't handle.

I truly do appreciate the gesture though. You folks are the best.

I can't make an exact count at the moment. But I'm thinking about 25-30 are still available.

Thanks everyone. I'm glad they are showing up in good time. One can't help but worry about it this close to Christmas.

Nancy, discuss away! I always refer to last year's comments when I'm tweaking things for the next year.

This year had some bigger tweaks than usual, so I'm curious about feedback.
