We got our cards out of charity. No, really! Mum and I support various charity efforts, from Red Nose to Williams Syndrome children and those artists who paint either with their mouths or their feet, and as a thank-you, we get cards from the latter ones each year.

As for Christmas baking, I'm actually woefully late this year. Usually, I start in the middle of November - now December starts tomorrow and I haven't baked a single Christmas cookie yet. *sighs*
