Christmas Letters

In an age of ecards and Instagram, it's amazing that Christmas cards and letters still exist.

What is it that still compels us each year to choose a favorite photo.  Upload it to a printing site.  Add all the addresses and a Christmas stamp. And mail a card to our loved ones?

It's a tradition from times past.  Yet it remains.

Have you ever wondered why?

A recent podcast suggested suggested that we need to surround ourselves with things that are real.  Real sunlight, real food, real books, real people.

A Christmas card is real, tangible, and mailed from someone who knows you.

A reminder that the best nouns are not digital.

The best memories are not on social media.

And lasting relationships are worth their investment.

So as your mailbox fills with glittering Christmas cards and letters, remember the uniqueness of each person on your address list.

Happy reading!
