We were discussing the upcoming holidays and how this year would be different. Someone said they were not sending cards this year. It didn't feel like Christmas! Another person chimed in that sending cards and touching base was more important this year than every before! People will be isolated. Families not travelling home for the holidays so yes to sending cards.
The bigger picture is we have to be creative this year. People won't get home. For some individuals sending a Christmas parcel is too expensive. So sending cards is the perfect alternative. Maybe you haven't sent cards for years, in that case this is the year to rethink it.
Getting something in the mail I think means more than receiving a fast email. A card to put out and look at. That can be part of your holiday decor. This year more than any year touch base with people. Don't make the assumption that people are okay or that someone else is checking on them. Sending a card is one way to say thinking of you.
So dig out those cards or purchase them. Get those stamps and drop a note. Let Christmas 2020 say we care. We're thinking of you. We wish you Merry Christmas.
