Using USPS self-service with Flat Rate Priority Mail has saved me in recent years, while other folks wait in line at the post office. Online tracking provided is helpful. Amazon is amazing as well. However, a simple Christmas postcard I received today from Wisconsin is just as lovely under my little tree as a wrapped present; the thoughtful, handwritten note warms my heart.
Who saves Christmas cards and year-end family newsletters? We used to display them in a basket. The senders are so thoughtful and generous, I can’t discard without digitizing with iPhone camera (my habit of saving). A dear friend of my wife Kay writes and shares her poetry — precious! Having saved and rediscovered a small painting of the Nativity, I see a daily reminder of the true meaning of Christmas: celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ ... with love.
