It gives my mom fits.
It has nothing to do with saving trees or being green. It has everything to do with sending Christmas cards being the last priority on my holiday To Do list that I never finish in time for Christmas.
The last time I made a serious effort to send cards almost all of them came back from relatives on Husband’s side of the family. They moved and failed to give Husband and I their addresses. GRR!
This year I’m trying something a little different in the holiday card department. I’m using the One Million Acts of Green Facebook application to Give the Gift of Green instead of sending paper Christmas cards to new house addresses I’m supposed know without being told.
The Gifts of Green are cute, a little funny, and a nice reminder of some the green things people ask me about when we visit.
I'm giving this one to Husband because I have shut the lights off on him before - Oopsie!
I haven't done with with socks. Shoes however...
By giving the Gift of Green via Facebook instead of paper Christmas cards, I know I’ll get them out on time, save a tree, and I don’t have to worry about the cards coming back
Unless they unfriend me on Facebook.
Do you send paper holiday cards?

Yes, I do, because I generally don't send presents to relatives (except the children in the family), and I think a paper card is more personal than an e-card. Not to mention, many of my relatives display Christmas cards as part of their holiday decorations.
ReplyDeleteThis year, we bought blank cards and my daughter decorated them, and then we inserted copies of her school photos in each. Sending out cards this early is a first for me--and I did so because daughter just brought home her first set of school photos, since she's in kindergarten, and I was excited to send them out.
