Iโm posting these 12 days on my gratitude page. Day 5 is perfect to remind my followers to send out that Christmas card and tell people how grateful they are to have them in their lives.
Sending snail mail takes time, but OH SO WORTH IT!! <3 As you write, you focus on that person and pray for them! I hand-wrote 60 Christmas cards and can't wait until they arrrive to their destinations. #spreadlove
I love to keep notecards on hand for this reason!
Finally completed this one! I can’t believe how much I put this one off, considering how much I loved writing letters when I was younger!
Finally getting around to doing this one!
Love this idea. What a sweet surprise and thoughtful gift.
