I always thought of sending out cards with yuletide greetings as a rite of passage, as something real grown-ups do.
I was excited to do it. From the moment my hubs and I became homeowners, I couldn’t wait to get started. Seriously – giant boxes of glittery, snowman-featuring, calligraphy-embossed, factory-produced Christmas cards were number one on my shopping list beginning in October.
So – many, MANY weeks early and armed with red and green gel pens and an address book , I proudly sat at our kitchen table for HOURS that year. Everyone received a card from us. And I mean e-v-e-r-y-o-n-e. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins, coworkers, neighbors, hairdressers, favorite grocery sales associates…And what’s more, I can totally still describe how those first cards looked .And, our family grew.The address book became thicker.cards. You could upload your pictures to a website, straight from your digital camera, and those pics would be featured onholiday card. My mind – BLOWN.
Here’s the thing: as we’ve grown older and our family has gotten larger, the hubs and I started valuing things a little differently. When we were younger, we shared our “smiling perfect family” photo cards with everyone and looked forward to receiving the same. It nevercommercial or braggy. It was just what everyone did; and, we merrily displayed every greeting received as part of our Christmas decor. Today, we’re just too busy with life to remember cards, and…in theHoliday anxiety.
