Christmas Cards

Christmas cards were not really part of my family’s routine. My first real exposure to sending personalized Christmas Cards was at city hall where, as an intern, I helped the mayor mail about a gazillion. That experience didn’t wet my appetite to send my own cards, but when Sandy came along she brought a greeting card giving culture. Her family would exchange cards on Groundhog’s Day if they were available. I liked that, so I totally jumped on the Christmas card bandwagon with Sandy. Each year we send a personal photo card and always feel honored when we see it posted on our family and friends’ refrigerators. We also include an annual Christmas letter, which may be a little passé, but always receives positive feedback from many. Even though the project is costly and time consuming, we hope it will be a tradition our boys will continue with their families.
