"If you send me the draft by Thursday I will see what I can do, I cannot make any promises," says George who is the owner for Express Printing.
"Ok, I really need it fast as possible", says Sarah.
"Were really backed up, It won't be easy. If you get it to me by Thursday I will have a sample copy for you by Friday afternoon. If you want to stop by and approve it, I will call you when it is ready," says George.
"That will be great if you can do that, I will Fed Ex it to you by tomorrow," she says.
She hangs up the phone and starts to work on the manger scene. She is using colored pencils to draw the design. It is going to be a white card with a blue circular night sky in the middle. Within that circle will be a manger and a crib where is going Jesus lay. She is going to draw Mary and Joseph overlooking the crib. Inside the card she is going to put " For unto us a child is born, until him a son is given" In big bold letters in gold.
A few hours later she puts the design into the Fed Ex package and it is ready for her to take to Fed Ex.

We now skip to Friday when she shows up at Express printing.
"I am looking for George," says Sarah, a medium dark haried women with glasses.
"That's me!” says the owner, who is a tall blonde haired man.
“I am Sara, I called you the other day,” she says.
You're the women with the manger scene, I will be right back," he says.
A couple minutes later he walkes back " here it is, what do you think?"
"It is fine, when can you have 50 cards printed?" she says.
"Tuesday, will that work?" George says.
"That will be fine," Sarah says.
"I will send it to you by UPS," says the owner.
"Cool," she left and could not wait until Tuesday.
***********************************************************************************************************************************
Tuesday arrives and there is this knock on the door a big smile comes over her face, as she knows that her cards have arrived.
"Are you Sarah?" the driver says.
"Yes, I am."
"Here is your package," as the driver hands her a flat looking book box.
She takes it out of his hand and runs to get a knife to open the box Sarah cuts the box open and looks at the cards.
"Praise the Lord, they're perfect," she shouts. Another year of Christmas cards are done, and now all she has to do is address them.
