Christmas Cards & Blogging

December is quickly approaching and I am busy designing Christmas blog templates and working on Christmas cards. With a hectic life and blogging, I have decided to take it easy on the Christmas cards this year. I am still sending out cards, but have ditched the personal message. I think the personal message is a nice touch. Perhaps, I should do a Family Christmas letter, but time is ticking and I want them done already.

It is strange how blogging has changed my life. Christmas cards used to be a big deal to me. I used to spend time making them, printing out matching envelopes, doing personalized letters, and all that. That changed when I started blogging. Last year and this year, I bought cards with a slot for photos. I slip in the photo, print out the envelopes & mail them out. I did take the time last year to write personalized messages. This year, it is just "Merry Christmas & Happy New Year" or something similar. I think by sharing so much of my life on the internet, I am not that inclined to do a letter. On the other hand, I also design & mail out 500 cards for work. That could be a major damper on the Christmas card fun.
