Hopefully you are using your Christmas Planner to write your Christmas Card list.

Last year I realised the importance of doing the admin update and reviewing my contact list/address book before settling down to do my Christmas Cards.

Mothers are great for that kind of thing, they keep their little black book of family and friends updated, but in a day where so much contact is doing via smartphone, the postal address usually goes to the bottom of the list of contact details to update.  So why not take the opportunity to do a refresh of your contact list as well.

These days we are simply sending less cards. With my love of stationery I will always be happily sending physical Christmas cards where possible.

Don’t forget to make a note of last posting dates (particularly for international mail).
