How to Send Christmas Cards

Video Transcript

""Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way..." Oh, hi there, I'm Teri, and in this segment I'm going to be talking about how to write and send a Christmas card. But first I'm going to get my little elf helper, over here, off to make some toys for the girls and boys, and you and I will sit and write and send out a Christmas card. So I've made my master list off all the people I want to send out to, and I suggest you do the same. So you pick, you know, I have my friends, family, co-workers, maybe people I went to college with, just a list of different sections of people. So depending on who you're sending it to, you might choose different style of cards. Also too, you can, handwriting is really nice in a card, very personal, but if you have a really big list, you might want to go on your computer and write kind of like a stock letter and then just change the name at the top and then personalize it by signing the bottom. Just what you've been up to over the year, maybe include a couple photographs is nice, as well. And then when you're shipping them out, always make sure that you give yourself three to four weeks before Christmas because there's going to be influx of mail of course right around the holidays. And you want to make sure you write on the envelope their full name and full address, including zip code, and then of course, your full address in the top left hand corner. In case, for some reason, they can't read it or they've moved, and it will get returned back to you, and of course the proper postage. And then you can reuse this list for next year, you can add to it, as you make new friends and acquaintances, and then you'll always have a master list to go off of. That's how you send a Christmas card around Christmas."
