Christmas Cards

Sorry this image is a little blurry I had to blow it up in paint. I got it from Temu and discovered it has been discontinued. I got a few because I thought it was funny.

I write personalized notes, not just a basic Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. What can I say, I’m a writer and verbose.

It’s enjoyable for me to write these cards because I get to think about the people I am writing to; unfortunately many times I have to just b.s. my way through because I don’t know what is going on in their life.

I care about the person deeply, but I don’t know anything about them. Is that bad? Should I forget all this and save the money on cards and stamps?

In truth, I feel like a heel for my ignorance of the people on my Holiday Card List. These are friends or people I am related to closely and I have no idea what they are up to. I can get information off of Facebook sometimes, but I don’t use Facebook that much anymore.

All I know is that their blood pressure is not zero over zero, which is a very good thing because I do know they contribute a lot to their families and the world. They are definitely on the nice list and won’t get coal in their stockings.

Oh well, off to wonder who I should send cards to and which stamp to put on their envelope.

My stamp choices:

Baby Woodland Animals (so cute!)

First Continental Congress, 1774 (so important!)

Madonna and Child (so peaceful.)

If you want to see a very cool variety of stamps that you may not be able to get your local post office, visit USPS The Postal Store.

How can you resist this?

A stamp for a letter costs 0.78, A sheet of 20 is $15.60. If you buy online, you have to purchase the sheets. There is no delivery fee, but there is a handling fee of $2.00.

I’ll let the big guy give the wishes.

And Blessings on every other holiday that you celebrate!

BE SAFE ON NEW YEAR’S EVE!

HAVE A DESIGNATED DRIVER!
