My Nostalgia #6: 2008 Christmas Cards Received

I love receiving greeting cards especially during Christmas, birthday or sometimes valentines and thanksgiving day for my friends and family circle. But for my DH it is for all occasions like wedding anniversary or some of our personal special moments. ;-) Greeting card with simple yet full of thoughts bring good laughs, smiles and memories for me. I am in "old school" or traditional way when it comes to this, preferred the traditional way, though it does not limit. ;-) I feel special and important when someone special, close family and family circles or friends gives me. I remember I was not that particular way back on my younger years but for now, it really matters though as I said I prefer the "old school" type when it comes to this.

Above greeting cards was I received (together with my DH) about two years ago. Yes, it was December 2008. I remembered my first Christmas or a year before that cards received, was my emotional or should I say the loneliest Christmas I had. Yes, I was with my Dear Husband but there was really something I felt, that I cried discreetly a bucket of tears near the window, yes, without my DH knowing. It was hard when you are miles away with the people you grew-up with and so strange in the place where you live though you are with your other half at first years. Ah, nostalgia! One way to balance my loneliness is to dig-up and read my greeting cards. That is how precious it is because I believe when you give a someone a greeting card, you also giving your smiles with him/her. Imagining and balancing the bad and the good memories, good ones should weight high. :)

Anything that reminds you of a place, somebody, or something such as Old pictures, souvenir from friends, family, or place that you visited, experience or story.
