Dilemma?
To send cards or
not to send cards?
It's a labor of love.
The pleasant little
thud of holiday mail Today, the exchange of Christmas cards is an annual
affirmation of important personal connections.
Like the first robin of spring, the first holiday card signals a new
season. It also
marks the beginning of an annual affirmation of personal connections that,
in a fast-paced world, is becoming more important than ever.
It was an Englishman, Sir Henry Cole, who set the stage for this honored
ritual by
sending the first Christmas cards in London in 1843. In 1875, Louis Prang,

lithographer near Boston, printed the first Christmas card for American
customers. It featured a simple flower design with the words "Merry
Christmas."

love with are never interested in me, whereas I never feel attracted to
the ones who fall for me?” Because my colleague knew this woman
well, he felt free to respond candidly. “It’s simple,” he explained.
“You’re an 8 constantly chasing after 10s and constantly being chased by
6s.” His friend later confessed that this one-sentence analysis had proved
more useful than several years of expensive psychotherapy.
