An address for your Christmas card list

If you're like me, you're facing a growing sense of dread about Christmas cards. I do okay with Christmas dresses, presents, parties, pagaents--but I struggle with the card. Do we have a good recent picture? And if not, is that one from the shore this summer good enough? How long will it take to get them? Will ours have a typo the text (again)? Will I get them out in time? And the hugger: How many addresses am I missing, and how will I find them? Self-recriminations of why I didn't create an address database when doing this last year are fruitless now but still quite bitter...
As you're confronting this little mini-drama in the larger familial production that is modern Christmas, maybe putting this address on your list will help put things into perspective:
A Recovering American soldier
c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center
6900 Georgia Avenue,NW
Washington,D.C. 20307-5001
It sure worked for me.
That's a fact. A list and pictures of charitable organizations' cards was just in a morning paper. I'll add that address for sure and pass along in e-mails to friends.

start sending cards.
By the way, how's the new job going?
Socialism doesn't work. It looks nice on paper, but it's been tried and it's failed miserably every time (usually accompanied by widespread death and suffering).
