One of my favorite things about the holiday season is receiving Christmas cards from friends and family. I love the coordinating outfits, the beautiful pictures and the family updates. Yes, I often see photos from these same folk online in various social media channels, but there is something special about the physical printed picture and the excitement of opening an envelope (my mail receiving enjoyment is renewed by the enthusiasm and sparkle of my three year olds eyes when we get mail). The card is then hung by the chimney with care displayed for the rest of the month eliciting a smile each time it is viewed. I take this one step farther and keep the holiday cards we receive from years past. Simply punch a hole in the top corner and bind them. I set them out each year so we can see how much each family has changed.
Here is how you can get started on sending your cards:

I may be a traditionalist when it comes to sending snail mail (I believe handwritten thank you notes and cards are still the BEST way to acknowledge gifts and acts of kindness) but realize there are also some easy and affordable ways to spread holiday cheer digitally.
No matter which method you choose, sending a holiday card lets someone know you are thinking of them and wishing them the joy of the season.
Please share - do you send holiday cards? (Bonus- post a photo of your Holiday card in the comments!)
