Growing up I never fully appreciated holiday cards, but as an adult, it's become a little magical, getting this individually wrapped surprise gift in the mail. Maybe it's just me, but I don't get a lot of good surprises in the mail, lest as an adult in general, so I've come to find this little cardboard of happiness is really just that - happy!
We even have a card holder so we can display them until after the holiday season is over. Some people splurge on fancy, double sided photo cards. Others send canned cards you might find at any holiday store. Doesn't matter. I love putting them on the card holder all the same. (Except glitter. Please don't send me glitter. That stuff never comes off!)
So I have to admit, knowing how much I enjoy getting holiday cards, it always makes me smile to hear from those who receive ours that they, too, brought a smile to their faces.
Never underestimate the power of a kind, little gesture. We could all use a few more of them, I'm sure, and they always mean the world.
