Home for the holidays - send Christmas cards

I will be sharing some of my home for the holidays tips.  Whether you are stuck at home for the holidays or maybe we should say blessed to have a home for the holidays, these tips will possibly add joy for you, your family and others.  Sending Christmas cards has been a very long tradition of mine.  It is a tradition that has become not so popular with many.  The extra time and expense has gotten in the way for many.   With 2020’and it’s challenges, it might be a good idea to revisit the idea of Christmas cards.  There are many who might need the joy of receiving some happy mail right now.   If you have children this is a good time to introduce this tradition to them.  Have them make cards.   Remember the glue and glitter cards we made in school?  I would draw an outline of a Christmas tree with my glue and then shake that green glitter everywhere!   We actually have sent out approximately 100 cards each year.  Yes that’s a lot!  But with extended family and friends we did not want to leave anyone out.   A list of 10 friends and family is a great start.    Your cards can be store bought or there are lots of crafty businesses that sell beautiful handcrafted cards that are a gift in themselves!   With technology it is so easy to order a sweet photo card and even upload your family or your own photo right from your phone.    So start thinking now about your card   This could be a fun project for Thanksgiving day!   Much love and happy holidays!  (happy thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah)
