Sending out Christmas Cards

One of my favorite holiday traditions is sending out Christmas cards (and I want to make sure you understand that when I say sending out Christmas cards I mean DawnMarie sending out Christmas cards). 

I love reaching out to people even if it is only once a year in the form of a card. I know some folks are tempted to skip the whole thing, and I can understand why, It saves times during an already-busy season, it saves money on printing and postage, and we’re all in regular contact with one another anyway thanks to social media.

However, as the self appointed champion of Christmas cards, I’m here to convince you that it’s still worth the time and effort. I believe that it will bless you and bless others to keep this time-honored ritual going, and here’s why:

1.) It reminds you that your circles of connection don't end at your front door, or on FB for that matter.

2.) It allows you to check in once a year with everyone.

3.) Receiving cards in return (for those who reciprocate) is a fun way to peak in on the lives of your family and friends (we all tend to highlight what we care about the most in our cards).

4.) It gives you an opportunity to laugh (those funny newsletters and cards filled with your single friends dogs are to die for funny).

5.) It's Christmas and reminding people that we care for them and love them (as proven by the fact that we were willing to spend 46 cents and the cost of a card on them) is a good thing.  

If you want a card from my family email me at bradleycrump2@gmail.com with your address and I will drop one in the mail for you (and when I say I, of course I mean DawnMarie). Who knows you may get hooked on this wonderful holiday tradition.
