I send snail mail throughout the year (I started 3 years ago when I moved away from family and friends for the first time and would get uber excited when I would receive letters from friends, so I started doing it routinely), but Christmastime is just so much fun to relax with a cup of tea and write to loved ones. I don't do the photo Christmas cards (I would look tad odd with only a photo of my single self, haha) but love looking around for the perfect cards that express what I want to convey to loved ones!Elena Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15685353322770187159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5569414599779352185.post-15367399245315329772013-12-04T22:08:53.216-08:002013-12-04T22:08:53.216-08:00such a great idea! and LOVE yalls christmas card....such a great idea! and LOVE yalls christmas card. yall are just about the cutest thing since sliced bread!
