It’s that time of year
again! Time to string lights, hang bells, and boughs. For those with friends
who celebrate different holiday traditions, here are a few holiday cards to send
to all your pals.
These lovely
postcards with the covers of classic literature provide the unique
opportunity to send both a message from you and the literary canon to family
and friends.
Use to share with friends
that this last month was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Or explain that while on vacation the sun
shone, having no alternative, on nothing new.
Or maybe share sad news-mother
died today.
Or perhaps share a
reflection on experience-that in my younger and more vulnerable years my
father gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. Or begin a long epic tale with all this
happened, more or less.
Maybe you would like to
tell a quaint little story- once upon a time and a very good time it was
there was a moocow coming down along the road and this moocow that was coming
down along the road met a nicens little boy named baby tuckoo.
Better yet, send a letter
to announce a sudden change in name, asking friends to call me Ishmael.
Opportunities abound. Sing
in me, Muse, and tell me the story.
The charm of receiving clippings you could
send through email—funny police blotters from my mother and
E.E. Cummings poems from my longtime pen pal—as well as things you
cannot—New England fall leaves from my grandmother.
The joy of seeing the sender’s handwriting
and scratched out mistakes
