The post-holiday blues usually hit in January when all the decor comes down and the darker shorter days bring melancholy. That is when I sit down and re-read all the Christmas greetings received from friends and family. I also update my address book, clean out old emails, sort through my contact list, and re-boot for the new year.
Then I look at that pile of Christmas greetings and wonder what to do with it all? Photos, kinds words, lovely cards… but guess what? New ones will arrive in the mail in 12 months with new news and updated photos and so it’s OK to throw away the current ones. If you’ve answered any that need a response, dispose of them with no guilt. It’s OOOOKKKKK.
