Do you put out milk and cookies for Santa? How about a little change from tradition this year. Maybe Santa would like a ginger ale and cyrstalized ginger. Or something like ice cubes and water and peach pie, a little summery treat at the start of winter. What ideas can you think of?

Did you send Christmas cards this year? Its nice to get them too. Here is a little bit about Christmas card history:

"The sending of commercially printed Christmas cards originated in London in 1843. By 1822, Christmas greetings were so popular in the U.S., the postal service had to hire sixteen extra mail carriers. "

This came from the WonderKorner site.

Its kind of late to start sending cards now. The mail carriers need at least a week for delivering Christmas cards. There are so many being sent they have trouble keeping up.
