Twelve Days of Christmas – Day 7

Twelve Days of Christmas – Day 6
Cards. Cards. And More Cards. Christmas cards used to flood our home. I have a little metal Christmas tree that has slots in it to hold cards. Growing up we would tape our Christmas cards around the door frame for decorations. They were simple cards that just had a...
