It’s that wonderful time of the year!

Call me old school, but I love sending and receiving holiday cards!  Yes, I know it’s cheaper, easier and faster to send a text or an email.  I hold on to some traditions.


As I stood in line masked at the post office, I thought about all of this as I grudgingly purchased expensive postage stamps. The Pandemic would be a great cover if I wanted to just run to my car and drive away!  But every year, I look forward to decorating my home and displaying holiday cards.

This year, the message in one card I received genuinely resonated with me.   I thought about my list and the wide variety of people I send cards to every year.  I haven’t seen or spoken to some people in way too long, but I still feel connected. So, this year, I sent out cards as usual but made a point to call more folks later. I felt a stronger need to strengthen my bond and connections. This card (below) helped me understand why.


I wish you a happy and healthy holiday season as I “regift” my favorite holiday greeting card. Creative regifting is another holiday tradition in my family.  Enjoy!
