In keeping with my 2008 snail mail kick, this is the first year I’ve sent out holiday cards.  Nothing fancy: no photos, no witty recap of the year, basically just another chance to connect with people I care about but only rarely get to see.  Aunts and uncles, former teachers, my sole remaining friend from the golfing years — who texted me last night to say the card brought him to tears.  Even though the snowy season doesn’t particularly jazz me up, it’s a good time to sit indoors with a cup of tea and write to people I love.

More on the art of written correspondence next week.  Til then, have a wonderful weekend, and if you’re here in the Northeast, take care in the blizzards!
