All the holiday preparations in addition to our normal activities made yesterday a long day at the end of a long week.  I spent far too much time figuring out how to make my Christmas letter idea work.  By the time the light bulb came on with the simple solution, hours had passed and I knew the letter’s text by heart–a situation that has a negative effect on proofreading.

Ted and I finished the Christmas cards and letters job and had everything ready to mail when I decided to enjoy the letter and read it once more, just for pleasure.  And that’s when I saw the typo and knew we had to re-print and re-stuff all the letters.
