Another festive holiday season is upon us. 20 years ago, I would have ordered custom printed holiday cards and spent hours working on my holiday card mailing list, writing out individual messages to friends and family. The year I moved to Arizona, I created my own season's greeting combination here's-my-new-address cards and mailed them out. That was 6 years ago and probably the last year I truly put any serious effort into the mailing of holiday cards.
With the prices of stamps going up, pressures to be less wasteful, more "green" and the cost of buying 100 holiday cards each year, I've whittled down my list of must sends... and swapped out snail mail for email greetings to many. My holiday card selections of late, mark-downs picked up at the end of a prior season. This year, I'm find myself totally unprepared and feeling on the fence for what to do this year.
Do I go get full-price cards, create my own cards, write a newsletter, or skip them altogether this year? And, if I decide to post holiday greetings this year, will they even be ready in time?
As Thanksgiving quickly approaches - I wish you all a wonderful holiday season filled with warm, joyful moments... and if you don't receive a personally penned note this year,
As Thanksgiving quickly approaches - I wish you all a wonderful holiday season filled with warm, joyful moments... and if you don't receive a personally penned note this year,
I hope you'll find it in your hearts to understand!
Happy Holidays to all!
