We make our own

~ Jnana Hodson
Christmas cards seem to be a fading tradition. When I was growing up, my parents received several hundred and likely sent out a similar number. We do about two dozen, and that number’s shrinking. Here’s the design we mailed off last year, with a gold dust adhering to a rubber-stamped base. (Photo by Rachel Williams)

I post from a small seacoast city in northern New England, where I really do have a small barn packed with mementos of my lifetime journey from my native Ohio to the Pacific Northwest and then back east.

  1. Nice design.

    High postage and high card costs put the industry on life support – and the internet has pretty much killed it.

    My parents were like yours – but I remember (as do you I am sure) when postage was ten cents.- or less. Cards were 50 cents a box of 24. Now postage and cards are more than a buck each. Who wants to spend $500 on something that is just gonna get thrown away?

    Which is sad – I loved sending and receiving cards. But I can no longer justify the expense.
