Okay, some say I take the holiday card thing to extremes (especially my wife). It is true that I spend more time than most working on it but to me it is time well spent. Our list is big but let's not go there, dealing with the cards themselves is enough for one blog post. At Kodak I am surrounded by kindred spirits as evidenced by this recent post.

To me, this has become an annual ritual. As I work on these greetings I think of each person/family on that list and the connections we share. Life is too short to let friends drift away. In this small way I recalibrate on the important things in life each and every year. So there you have it, holiday card creation as therapy! ;-)

I put together a Gallery album of the entire set of cards. I started this endeavor in 1984.



I hope that you might find some ideas that inspire you to reconnect with the special people in your life. During these trying times connecting with those that matter is more important than ever. The price of some photo printing, time, and postage is the best deal you will find this holiday season in terms of return on investment - certainly better than my 401K of late!
