Description
To Christmas card or not to Christmas card? That is a question I have been pondering this year and I find myself in a strange situation.Last year, I declared it would be a year of adulting and I swore I would finally stick to doing adult things like remembering people’s birthdays and sending annual holiday cards. But, when I started to examine the cards we received this year, I realized that there had to be a big environmental impact from our obsession with sending so many cards.I mean, there’s the paper, the guilt about what to do with the cards after the holiday season is over, the cost associated with buying the cards, the struggle to get a photo everyone likes, and the shipping from one side of the globe to the other.It’s a hassle for us, but my research showed me it’s worse for our planet.So, did I decide to send cards this year? And if not, what am I doing instead?
