Christmas Cards 1982

While preparing some blogs for the church on an Advent Devotional Book we did almost 30 years ago, I ran across this entry which appears to be a poem that I wrote.  To read the "poem", Click here.  Here is the truth:  that "poem" started out as greetings for our Christmas cards in 1982.  I took those small poems and combined them into one longer one.  It sort of works. . .

 First, Rebecca and Rachel made a series of drawings (some of which I still have).  Then, I used these drawing as inspiration for some Haiku.  Dave then traced the drawings and wrote out the Haiku.

 After they were all copied, all three girls (including 2 year-old Leah), colored the drawings and pasted them on construction paper.

Sometimes I wrote a note, but I did write in the left corner who drew and colored each card.  Although I am sure there were a few squabbles, I want to only remember the fun we had making Christmas cards each year!
