Some folks just love to send out Christmas cards, while other folks REALLY love to send out Christmas cards.  The next time you groan at the thought of all the work that goes into sending out your Christmas cards, thank your lucky stars you don’t have a Christmas card list of 3,000 people.  Not only that, but remember how happy receiving a Christmas card from a friend or family makes you and, in turn, how happy receiving your Christmas card will make your family and friends. 

Giving someone happiness, no matter how large or small, is well worth the time and effort.  Despite that, rest assured that you’re not alone if you find that sending out your Christmas cards is quite a chore – many folks find that the whole process of selecting the cards, writing the notes, addressing the envelopes, and stamping the cards to be a significant and somewhat overwhelming chore during the already jam-packed holidays.

If you’d call yourself overwhelmed by holiday errands, then be glad you’re not Father Naus in Michigan.  He’s a college professor who sends just under 3,000 Christmas cards each year to former students, colleagues, friends, and even acquaintances.  He believes strongly in the importance of letting people know they’re in your thoughts, as well as a Christmas card’s significance in a friendship. 

He knows that it’ll take up a great deal of his time during the holidays, but the odds are good that each and every one of the recipients of Father Naus’ Christmas cards are honored and happy to receive them in the mail.  As a result of that, he’s happy to invest the time and effort in sending out nearly 3,000 Christmas cards each year.  Who could argue with those kinds of results for a few hours of writing out Christmas cards?
