My mom[Gladys] and her high-school friends [ ages 84] gather each year to celebrate a Christmas tea at my mom's apartment during the Christmas Season. They will be meeting today at noon.
For the last few years I have created personalized Christmas cards for them.
Here is what they are receiving this year. The front card is for my mom. I wrote their names on the stockings.
Thanks for stopping by and have a blessed week!
