I still send cards some years. I like to receive them, so I send them. The practice is environmentally questionable, but I see it as a renewal of personal connection that, for now at least, is valuable and worthy.
Normally I don’t send card’s.
But there was a great sale on Christmas cards last year and I bought a few boxes.
So this year as I was trying to get into the spirit of the holidays… I did send out a few card’s to family and friends.
It was a helpful way to “Get in the spirit”
So to speak.
I love sending and receiving holiday cards! Maybe it’s because I like writing better than talking on the phone. This year I sent cards to a couple of fraternity brothers I haven’t seen in more than 50 years! I also sent a card and received a reply from a 102 year-old former golfing partner.
My wife and I have a friend in a nursing home. She doesn’t write or call, but I hope she appreciates an occasional card, and visit.
In summary, holiday cards are one of my favorite things this time of year.
