Christmas Cards Are Sent!

I just put the last few in the mail two days ago! I hope they make it to their individual destinations on time, but if not, it’ll be a nice after-Christmas surprise.

I love the act of sending out Christmas/holiday cards. My mom was always very big on them when we were growing up, and I think a little bit of that has rubbed off on me. It’s especially fun to do now that we have children, and I can’t wait to look back at all our various cards through the years and see how much the kids have changed.

I can’t tell you how much I loved opening our mail box and finding an envelope that very clearly is not a bill or junk mail just sitting inside and waiting to be opened. It’s a reminder that not everything is digital these days, that snail mail still exists and is a much more charming way of communicating, if I do say so myself. Knowing that someone thought enough of you to take the time to write out your name and address and send whatever it is to you is such a warm and comforting feeling in today’s world of quick emails and fast text messages.

And if you’ve sent us a Christmas card to our PO Box, thank you!!! They’re currently hung in the doorway leading to our dining room and they frame the house beautifully.

Happy holidays, loves!
