Christmas Cards

It's getting darker and darker out... Time for shiny things!
After three years of Christmases with no human-size decorations (the girlettes had theirs), I'm overdue and eager.

Yesterday I strung star-shaped lights on the windows;
I photographed my Christmas card and emailed it to the printer (I use Nations Photo Lab on the rec of PC Mag);
and I started the girlette calendar for 2023.

This year, there are far less photos, me having lost my iPhone in October 2021. I'm still unsure if I have enough for a good calendar.
(For the third year, I'm using Mixbook.)

NOT my Xmas card: This "Journey to Bethlehem" cracks me up, but it's not quite what I want for a card.

BELOW: 2019, the first girlette card, Skating on Lake Hiawatha

2020: The second, at the railyard

2021: What? Didn't I send one last year? Oh, yeah, I didn't, because I'd lost my iPhone/camera. Instead, I gave people 2022 girlette calendars .
I sketched Penny Cooper on Xmas morning last year:

Looking through old Christmas posts, I think A Star Trek Christmas: The Search for Spock's Present is among my best work.
Remember? Even Starsky tries to help Kirk find a suitable gift.
