Holiday Greetings
I spent a considerable part of my weekend addressing Christmas cards to my friends and family and holiday card to my editors and professional colleagues. But I’m psyched; I wrote personal notes on each this year and hand wrote each address. I feel satisfied because I truly thought about each recipient as I prepared their card and that’s the way it should be, right?
Don’t stress; it’s not too late to wish all your friends and family a happy holiday. But when you’re out there shopping, consider a card that donates to the cause or raises awareness. I should have talked about this before I started talking about 2008 calendars, but honestly, I hadn’t done my own cards yet and was already looking at the New Year with anticipation.
So … keep this in mind: if you have to order online at this point, you’ll pay through the nose for shipping. But it might be worth it … consider the hope and joy you’ll bring someone this year.
My favorite cards are these specialty note cards by Mer. There are also some ‘pink ribbon’ beauties at the
Komen Marketplace. Finally, proceeds from these ‘Heartfelt Greetings’ benefit the Cancer Research Foundation.
Good luck!

Congrats on having sent out all your cards in a timely fashion — I’m almost there!

Oh, thanks Lesly — it’s a HUGE accomplishment. Of course, I have to go buy a special Hallmark card just for my husband’s grandmother this morning before I can really call it done. She really, really like that!
