’Tis the Season

Christmas cards started showing up in our mailbox this week. Some are probably in response to the cards we sent out last week.

This year, we did something different. Instead of mailing our cards at the local post office, we drove to the Bethlehem, Connecticut post office where our cards received the Bethlehem postmark instead of the usual Hartford postmark.

Also, the Bethlehem post office has over 80 rubber stamps on hand depicting various Christmas themes that customers can use to decorate their cards and letters before handing them over for mailing.

We had some fun at the PO decorating our cards with the rubber stamps. Afterwords, we went to a Chinese restaurant for dinner!

For some time now, femulators have been sending out cards of themselves posing pretty in front of a Christmas tree. This tradition goes back to at least the 1960s when some of the Casa Susanna girls had Christmas photo cards. It seems that more and more girls now carry on the tradition.

A more recent tradition that I have noticed are family Christmas photo cards with the male family members crossdressed as females and the female family members crossdressed as males. A variation of that theme that I discovered on Pinterest appears in the Femulator slot below where the male and family members are dressed as drag queens!

On that note, I invite you to send me your posing pretty Christmas card and I will feature it in the blog during the holidays!
