    I loved the sentiment and tried to follow up on the “Pav yourself a merry little Christmas” card. Couldn’t find any other references. Where did it originate?
    There is a ‘Write to me’ group that markets Mother and Baby Journals but not Chrissie cards.
    Can you help?
    Thanks
    Carolyn

    Sorry Carolyn
    It must have been older than I thought. You are right about the site. Its not light-hearted like this card.
