Thread Name: BS: NON CHRISTMAS CARD SENDERS BEWARE!!!!
Subject: RE: BS: NON CHRISTMAS CARD SENDERS BEWARE!!!!
We sent out 150 Christmas cards, so we obviously enjoy doing it. We also reached out to friends by phone who would find receiving a card meaningless. We particularly like to remember people who are in nursing homes or who are shut in and have very few (or no) living family members to remember them. That said, I don't think you should do ANYTHING (if we're into all caps) that you don't believe in. There are people who would appreciate hearing from you any time of year, and many of them would prefer a phone call or a visit... or an e-mail when they really need it, not on a pre-chosen day of the year. If you're really thinking of others, start with what they believe and what would lift them.

I'm relieved to finally have it confirmed that I'm not a moron, Kendall..
