Do you send out Christmas cards?\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If not, how come? \u00a0Is it simply laziness, lack of time or you really just don’t care? \u00a0Do you like getting them? \u00a0I love Christmas cards! \u00a0I love knowing and appreciating the fact that someone thought of us and bothered to send us some Christmas Cheer. \u00a0I love getting pictures… especially when we don’t get to see them very often due to distance, as is the case with many of our family and friends.<\/p>\n

I heard that the average person gets 10 cards a year. \u00a0We probably fall in that average. \u00a0Sanj gets a bunch at work but I don’t really count those as they aren’t really personal friendships.<\/p>\n

I always have the best intentions in mind. \u00a0Every year I make a goal to have them out by Dec 1st and every year I fall very short of that goal. \u00a0Actually the truth is if I get them mailed before Christmas I am very proud of myself! \u00a0I stopped writing Merry Christmas as that was almost setting myself up to fail. \u00a0This year I went with “With Love and Best Wishes…” knowing that covers pretty much any time they get mailed! lol<\/p>\n

I love checking the mailbox this time of year, knowing that there may be a good chance that in the midst of the bills there lays the possibility of a special envelope from someone that isn’t looking for money or to sell me something!<\/p>\n

It’s seven days till Christmas~ \u00a0and it’s Sunday night… my boys are loud, teasing each other, fighting and over all being a noisy nuisance! (Wahoo.. I spelled nuisance <\/em>correctly!!! \u00a0That never seems to happen)! \u00a0I am sitting here, looking at whose addresses I have and whose I don’t. \u00a0Every year, as I look through my list, I wonder should I send it so the XYZ family as they never send one. \u00a0Should that matter? \u00a0Probably not. \u00a0I do wish my friends would send me one… (HINT)… but really that isn’t or shouldn’t be the reason why I send them. \u00a0I really am sending with with love and our best wishes. \u00a0I am sending them because I want to catch up, (though this year there is no letter… just a picture card) and really wonder what’s happening in your life.<\/p>\n

To my blog readers… I’d love to hear from you too. \u00a0I didn’t do a contest this year… but will do one in January… send me a card by January 1st and I’ll pick a winner at random and send \u00a0you a gift card for Starbucks.<\/p>\n

Mail your card to:<\/em>

Good Luck! \u00a0It’s not to late to send out Christmas cards and make people feel extra special! \u00a0It seems to be a dying tradition. \u00a0Help save it! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Hope you are able to remember the reason for this season in the midst of all the business!<\/p>\n

xoxo<\/p>\n
