TRADITIONS
Black Friday means nothing to me nor to any sane person I know. It has been a long-standing tradition of mine to start writing out my Christmas cards the day after Thanksgiving. Yes, I am one of a diminishing group who still writes letters, birthday greetings and Christmas cards, affixes stamps and brings them to the post office. I send many more than I receive and that’s ok because I’m not looking to receive cards; it’s not my intention to ‘guilt’ people into sending me Christmas greetings. I enjoy sending cards in the mail although this year it may take me longer because of my wrist. Thatβs ok; theyβll eventually get done. I hope my cards bring someone a little bit of joy and brighten up their house with Christmas cheer. π π πΌ ποΈ
How many of you still mail Christmas cards?
