One of my friends posted on Facebook about the rising cost of stamps. He said he couldn't remember the last time he even bought stamps!!! I was surprised to hear this, but as I asked others, the consensus was the same! E-mail, facebook, and skype seems to be doing away with the "old-fashioned" mail system!
My father was a postmaster, so mail is something I have always been familiar with...and used! I still hand-write letters! I love to send birthday cards! And, well, Christmas is my favorite time of year to send mail: Christmas cards!!!! Not only do I love sending them, I love receiving them, and displaying them! I received my first Christmas card in the mail yesterday from a friend in Illinois!!! It was great to see the happy shiny picture of her little family! A card we'll enjoy all Christmas season!
I ordered my Christmas cards weeks ago! They are addressed, stuffed, and ready to go! But then I realized that this is a tradition that I want to teach my son! I don't want an additional person to lose interest in old-fashioned correspondence! SOOOOO...I pulled all of my cards off the shelf, pulled out some Christmas stickers and let Samuel decorate the envelopes!
With Samuel being two, most of the cards didn't receive any stickers, but a few lucky ones got a TON of stickers :0) Another option is to purchase plain cards, and let your child decorate them! That's my plan for next year...we'll see how that turns out :0)
