Q:
"Every year, I get so behind in making and addressing elaborate Christmas cards that it’s Valentine’s Day before I send them out. What can I do?"
A:
If computer-generated labels don’t bother you, go high-tech this holiday season. Type your card list into a database and run a mail merge to create labels — or hire a high school kid to do this for you. If you feel strongly about personally addressing your cards, you’ll just need to find a day to do them. It’s perfectly fine to prepare holiday cards several months in advance — just write a note on your December calendar page reminding yourself where you stashed them. If you can’t get a handle on the card thing, send e-cards. Who doesn’t love getting an animated card that plays music during the middle of a work day? And a phone call to say, “Hi, hope you’re having a great day,” is still a terrific way to remind friends and relatives that you’re thinking about them.
