Ho! Ho! Ho!

For as long as I can remember... Christmas has always been a holiday associated with family, joy, and generosity for the Fujimoto clan.  This year will be a little different, because we'll be celebrating our first one without my mother.

Sorry... I'm not trying to ruin the Christmas mood for you.  But I wanted to dedicate this post to her, because she always tried her best to make the holiday season extra special for my father, my brothers, my sister, and her grandchildren.  I miss you Mama!

Okay, let's make things a little merrier with some Christmas cards...

 Merry Christmas to all of you.  Enjoy this special day with your loved ones... and hopefully Santa brought you some cool items for your collection.  But just in case you were on Santa's "naughty" list, here's something to help cheer you up:

    Mark, I think it's safe to say that you're Mom is proud of you and you probably already know that. You're certainly an inspiration to us bloggers and I'm pretty sure you're students appreciate you too. Merry Christmas to you! (Insert bro hug here.)

    So close but so far away on the Cramer. Hope you had a Merry Christmas and I am not sure why I hadn't heard of that 1995 Pinnacle Santa before.

    I hope all of you had a merry Christmas with your loved ones! I definitely enjoyed mine. Now the day after Christmas wasn't nearly as fun ;)

    jon - thanks jon. made it a few years ago.

    the snorting bull - besides a cough, i'm all healed up. and it was really awesome hanging out with my pops

    zippy zappy - it was part of a set where all of the major card companies of that era created a special christmas card. it'd be cool to see something similar done in 2020

    bbcardz - thanks for the bro hug and the kind words. happy holidays!

    sport card collectors - if you want to see the entire set, i wrote a post about it back in 2010:
