Thank you guys. Today I will send a postcard to XOXO.
2007 is a Chinese pig year. So you can see the pig on the postcard.

Your Christmas card is going in the mail today, Billy!

Don't forget it takes at least two weeks under normal circumstances, people--gotta get moving if it's going to get there before the 25th.[/nag]

I got Billy's card. 2007, The year of the pig.
Unlike UT's pigs, that dive and swim and race each other for Oreos, this is a studious pig. Hitting the books, sweat on his brow and furiously taking notes with his left hoof.

I'd guess he's working hard to pass his English proficiency exam..... so he can get a visa to study abroad....from the English all over his shirt.

This is the post box where I posted Billy's card yesterday. I live in half of a former Post Office so all I have to do is lean over the wall to post my mail!
The second pic is the view across my front garden towards the post box.
PS Love the Pig!

Wow, what a neat, serene looking place. Right now I'd like to jump on a plane to another part of the world and get the hell out of this oppressive little town, state, country.

Sigh...

Ours are still being assembled. Lil Pete did the drawing and Pete is putting them together. I hope we get done in time for Christmas in China!

Hey Billy, did you get mine yet? I sent it before Thanksgiving. It's a postcard from Washington D.C.

You'll take pictures of everything you get and post them here, won't you?

Billy,

I don't send out Christmas cards, but if you PM me your address I will send you a Hanukkah card or 'Happy Holidays' card, your choice.
