Seasons Greetings from Posted Past

It’s Christmas Day and maybe you have a stack of Christmas cards – not just from this year, but from many seasons past. Each one is a thread in the tapestry of your life, too precious to discard. Like treasured ornaments, they tell stories that span generations.

Christmas cards aren’t merely paper messengers of the season – they’re artifacts of connection, physical reminders of the hands that chose them, the words written inside, the relationships that flourished across years and miles. Each card is a small time capsule, preserving moments of joy, celebration, and remembrance.

It’s fine to recycle your greeting cards, let’s not be too precious. But why not try something new? String them into a garland, tuck them into a memory box, or preserve them in an album. Let them be your Christmas story, told in paper and ink, holly leaves and winter scenes, building year by year into a cherished archive of holiday memories.

For today, take in all the love and laughter enclosed, and enjoy this album of Christmas greetings from the Posted Past. Wishing you peace and prosperity in the years ahead.
