Sending Holiday Cards That Are Meaningful

As you begin planning for the sending of your Christmas cards

, it's a good idea to keep in mind the reasons you send cards. Everyone has different reasons behind this long-standing holiday tradition. These can range from being something that was a tradition in your family as you were growing up, to wanting to remember special people during the holidays, to the desire to share what you and your family have been up to for the last year.

If you've been doing this for awhile, you realize that not all of your friends, associates, or family may celebrate Christmas. For this reason, you know that you need to find Christmas cards for some, but more generic Happy Holidays or Season's Greetings cards for others. Fortunately, there are thousands of cards to select from, making it easy to find cards appropriate for everyone on your list.

If you are a negligent correspondent, the holiday season is a great excuse to send a card to reestablish a connection with people you haven't heard from in awhile. You know how exciting it can be to open the Christmas cards in a day's mail to see who has taken the time to remember you, so you can imagine how your family and friends will feel to receive your card in the mail. When you think about it, a minimal amount of time selecting and writing cards to everyone on your list can pay huge dividends in maintaining contact and your relationships.

In the global world of today, families no longer live as close together as they once did, and friends may move around frequently for job opportunities. As a result, you might not see these people as often as you would like. While keeping in touch electronically allows you to maintain the relationship, there is nothing very personal about receiving an email. That is one reason people get so excited to receive a physical piece of mail that is personal, like a Christmas or holiday card.

To truly make the cards you send meaningful and memorable to the recipient, it is important that you take just a few minutes to personalize each card for the person to whom it is being sent. Knowing that you wrote a note just for them tells your friend or family member that you really are sincere, and have them in your thoughts. You will be surprised at the positive results this can achieve for you in your relationships.
