Opening the mailbox in December is way more fun than opening it any other month…don’t you think? It might start off slow, but then they all start to trickle in…holiday cards!! The sending and receiving of holiday cards is definitely one of my most favorite traditions.

I can’t remember how many years it’s been now, but I think I’ve been using Minted for our holiday cards for at least 4-5 years now. I’m always so impressed with their design choices and quality, and this year was certainly no different! This year I kept the design super simple and went with a classic red text and single photo. I’m giving myself a huge pat on the back though because this year I actually had my act (ie my contact list) together so I could add on the envelope addressing. I am SO HAPPY I did!! It makes such a world of difference!! First of all it just looks so pretty! And it really cuts down on the time it takes to get the cards in the mail.

Now I’m off to cross of the other million to-dos on my list. I may have gotten my act together with the cards, but wrapping?? Eek, not there yet!!
