Holiday Card Rant

Season’s Greetings Family and Friends! 

It’s that time of year again when bundles of holiday cards start making their way to our mailboxes.  Traditional holiday cards are a way for us to remember the people we love, acknowledge individuals who have touched our lives, and reconnect with those with whom we have lost touch.  The holiday card has good intentions.  It’s an opportunity to let people know that you care and think about them. (Well, at least once a year anyhow).
 
After years of the traditional holiday card, people started sending the infamous “holiday newsletter”.  In this letter, the sender typically writes a page or two detailing the events, activities, and accomplishments of the previous year and sends in place of a traditional holiday card.  I appreciate people who take the time to update everyone on the happenings of their life, especially if they also include pictures!
