Ho, Ho....Oh....

THE CARTER FAMILY CHRISTMAS DRAW
 
"Why do you get stuck doing this every year?"

  Sam asks.


I honestly didn't know, at first.  But because I lost my Christmas-draw tracking file (when my computer died last winter), I found the answer.  I was "digging" through the blog archives to track our gift giving history, when I stumbled upon this entry written by Yours Truly:



Tuesday, October 28, 2003


For all the Carter siblings, here is the list for Christmas this year. I just rotated the list from last year so that everyone would be giving to someone different this year. If you all want, I will continue to keep track and rotate it every year. 




Yep, I wrote that.  

My favorite part is, "If you all want"...


What did I think, someone would pipe up and say "No, ME, PLEASE!  I want to do it forever and EVER until we all die" ???






Here it is, Carter Folks:


Sam  gives to Lynda
Melissa gives to Valerie
Alison gives to Lizzie
Doug gives to Joe
Katie gives to Doug
Danny gives to Laurel
Ed gives to Melissa
Valerie gives to Kelli
Laurel gives to Alison
Dave gives to Sam
Kelli gives to Katie
Joe gives to Ed
Lynda gives to David
Lizzie gives to Danny




If there are any mistakes, TOO BAD.  (haha, just kidding- Let me know and I am happy to make changes where necessary).  


Happy Christmas!  Wahoo!

Unrelated to this post, but I want to make sure you see it.

Please email me what you wrote. I really do want to read it. I don't know if anyone else reads my blog these days, but you are much smarter and stronger than I am and I would really like your perspective added to the post, since I decided to bring it up in the first place.
