CLOSER

Chris Muir of Day by Day is all about making sure that a little girl dying of cancer gets thousands of Christmas Cards this year.

Now, I know darn well that Chris isn't the type to fall for an old Urban Legend, but I Snopesed it, anyway.

And yes, Hannah Garman really does want Christmas Cards.

I found that my first thought was "I should send Hannah a card!". Which is VERY strange, because I haven't mailed a Christmas card since my wedding day. Anyway, I was looking around the room for an envelope, when a second thought occurred to me:

It's lovely that I'd like to do something nice for a complete stranger hundreds of miles away, but there are also people who are NOT complete strangers - who live in my house, for example - who also really enjoy it when I do nice things for them.

Maybe I should start a little closer to home.

Now, I'm not saying that you shouldn't send a card to 704 Orchard Rd., Lititz, PA 17543. By all means, mail away.

I'm just saying you might want to hug everyone under your roof before you do.
