CHRISTMAS CARD DILEMMA

TODAY IS:  Nothing Day

SAYING OF THE DAY:  A house is not a home without a dog.


A lot of thought goes into choosing our Christmas cards.  My husband and I always choose animal related cards that we purchase from animal foundations.  We get nice cards and help the animals along the way.

Sending out holiday cards is a nice, thoughtful gesture.  I enjoying sending and receiving them.

I don't care for e-cards.  They seem rather impersonal and lazy.

The friends I have made over the years always include a personal note on the card.  But what about the holiday letters?  They are okay.  I am interested in hearing what our friends have been up to over the past year.  The bragginess bothers me a little.  I know, proud parents and all that, but tone it down a bit. 

How do you determine when and who you remove from your list?  Do you delete relatives and friends you haven't heard from? 

I started with people we haven't heard from since our move to Florida more than a dozen years ago.  The following year we didn't get a card from them either.  One person called us on it.  "We haven't heard from you in a while.  Is everything okay?"  They will get a card starting again in 2013.

i like that, and









i do the same.  A brief, habd-written note is so very personal and well-thought out.
