I really only like getting the mail between Thanksgiving and New Years for one simple reason, Christmas cards. Think about it how many times during the year do you get mail that isn’t bills or adds. We often refer to letters and cards as happy mail in our house. They just make me smile. If you visit my house in September you will still see Christmas cards hanging from the previous Christmas. Some might think I’m just lazy but I leave them up to remind me thru the year of those who thought enough of us to send us a card.

I still send Christmas cards while they might not contain hand written sentiments (my handwriting is terrible) they still contain my heart felt wishes to the recipients for the holiday season. I want them to know that they are in my thoughts and prayers and that we hope the best for them. I hope that they bring the same simple smile to you that I get when I receive cards.

Do you love or hate Christmas cards and why?
