What To Do During Holidays
Probably one of the most time-consuming Christmas chores is sending out your holiday greeting cards. It can be doubly frustrating when some of them come back because your address book was out-of-date. Now would be a great time to sit down and look through your address book and make sure you are caught up and have current mailing addresses for everyone. While you’re in the process of updating, you might want to check current phone numbers so you can quickly invite someone to an open house or to join you for sledding, caroling, or a shopping excursion. Try to include current e-mail addresses for your computer-savvy friends, family and associates, so all your contact options are up to snuff. If you’re sending out photo cards this year, there’s no reason why you can’t get those envelopes addressed and stamped early. Then once those cards are back from the printers, it’s simply a matter of jotting a quick note if you choose, signing, and sending them off. Also, be sure to schedule your photo studio session early if you’re having professional pictures taken this year for your Christmas cards.
