The Braille Christmas card

Christmas has come and gone but sometimes I like to reflect on some of the highlights of this wondrous season. In 2011, one of the highlights for me was the receipt of a Christmas card with greetings in Braille. It is not very often that anyone would take the time to send a card to me with a Braille greeting but this is what my dear friend Liz Herdman did.

It sure made my day when I first discovered that she had Brailled my name on the envelope and then when I opened up the card there again was a Christmas greeting in Braille. It meant that I did not have to ask anyone to read it to me and that I could differentiate her card from all of the others. Thank you, Lizzie, for having made my day!
