I don't think I'll be sending out Christmas cards this year, except perhaps in response to cards I receive. Given my dad's health situation, I'm simply not motivated. I will probably skip the annual Medieval Yule Revel that I usually attend. Before I returned to Philadelphia, I put up the Christmas tree at my dad's home, because Christmas trees are cheerful, and I figured we both could use that. I will make a small effort in my own home, but I just don't feel very motivated.
