If you are like me, you will make a list after Christmas of those who sent out cards to you. That way, maybe cutting the list down some. But that isn’t always true, as some one stops sending cards, but then there are others who will start sending cards to you. So there you are, armed with the list. You start at the top and head down … sending to family, of course. That is a given, for the most part. But then there are the ones who you have not seen in 23 years or so. Do you send out a card or not? Do you think about how they are probably sitting there, wondering if you are going to send a card. Ready to cross you off their list, if only you wouldn’t send a card to them/From A Simple Mind. More here.
Question: When do you remove someone from your Christmas card list? When do you add someone?
