Every Christmas one of my five amazing sisters sends us a calendar with the birthdays and wedding anniversaries of every member of our wonderful family written in and decorated with cheerful little stickers.
These calendars are beautiful, and every year when we receive ours I imagine myself sending handmade greeting cards to every one of the people whose names are written in those little squares.
This year I decided to actually do it.
And I think I'll make it.
As long as I don't count 'em.
Because I came from a very large family.
And many of the people from my very large family have large families of their own.
And some of the people from the large families of the people from my very large family are now having large (or small) families of their own.
It's kinda scary.
