Holiday Wishes (Post 122)

If you would like to start your own ten cent crazy book - read post 1-4 to find out how

Well, you've been busy and didn't get around to sending those Christmas Cards and now you think it's too late - WRONG - send cards that just say Happy Holidays or Happy New Year - sending a Happy New Year card gives you a whole month to still get them in the mail - or better yet - sit down and write that holiday letter - it's not that hard
Here's a list for your ten cent crazy book of what to write about

Go month by month
or pick one highlight of the year to focus on
let everyone in the family say one thing they enjoyed this year
look at pictures to help you remember what you did - where you went
focus on one charming or cute event that will make people laugh
tell what stage your children are at - the things they like
tell what things you enjoyed most this year
tell about the biggest challenge you faced this year
If you like to draw - include a snowman at the top or a ribbon at the bottom
Be sure to include a picture of the family

Now you might be saying - why? - I just send e-mails and save the postage - Well there are two reasons to spend the money on the postage -
First - It's so great to get a handwritten card or letter from a friend or relative in the mailbox - it shows that you really care and that they were not just an afterthought, also it's so fun to receive a card or letter in the midst of all those bills and advertisements.
Second - begin sending cards or letters now and as your family grows - be sure to include pictures - this helps friends who move away or family that don't live close by - feel like they are part of your life. - as your children grow - these are the people you will send those high school and college graduation invitations and later wedding and birth announcements.
