We’ve taken the tree and the decorations down, packed away the holiday movies and CDs, and welcomed the 
New Year. But I’ve still got some unsettled Christmas business to address. Stacked in front of me is this year’s collection of Christmas cards. Cheery greetings from people I see every week mingle with photo cards from folks I haven’t seen in years. Some include a brief note, but most are simply signed with the sender’s name. So here’s my confession: I hate Christmas cards. If you want to stop reading now, I don’t blame you – especially if you took the time and trouble to send me a card/Cindy Hval, SR Front Porch. More here.
Question: Are Christmas cards still relevant to you?
