Put it on paper.
Clear your schedule and dedicate one whole day (or part of a day) to writing your holiday cards. The rewards of sending and receiving a personalized note are so much greater than a tossed-off impersonal one (think of your own disappointment when you slice open an envelope to find the only personal connection on the holiday card is a signature). You don’t have to spend a lot of time on each one, but when you carve out room in your schedule for writing notes, you won’t be harried or worried about something else that isn’t getting done. If you want to go one step further, make your own cards. Better yet, gather your family and go to work with colored paper, scissors, glue and glitter. You’ll create family memories as well as memorable messages.
