I just finished my Christmas cards this past weekend. Sending out cards to friends and family this time of year is important to me; it is a part of my tradition to remember people I care about and don’t get to see or talk to very often. Plus, what a great gift - mail that isn’t a bill or “junk”! So, I try to make each card and letter I send out at this time of year a little gift all on its own - something special.
