The sweetest thing
We received a sweet Christmas card this morning from our youngest great-granddaughters, Melia and Hailey. It’s remarkably simple, and an example of how Nursery and Infant teachers (and parents) can help their charges effortlessly create a pleasing card.
The reindeer ‘head’ is a footprint decorated with ‘googly eyes,’ painted antlers, and a big red nose.
Our card is addressed to ‘Great Janice’ and ‘Great Barry’ – a compromise between Great-GrandMa/Pa and the parents’ wish to avoid what they may regard as overfamiliarity. I think it works, and it’s the only time we’ll ever be called ‘great.’
How darling and definitely one of a kind. I think the names Great Janice and Great Barry are very sweet.
ReplyDeleteIt's a fun idea for creating cards! I am not sure I understand the wish to avoid "overamiliarity" - if there can't be familiarity between (great)grandparents and (great)grandchildren...?
ReplyDeleteI like that mark of respect and using your names. Maybe when older, they will cheekily say Not So Great Janice.
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely card and being 'great' always boosts one's ego.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet and very cleverly done.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute card that is. Such a clever idea
