This is the time of year when we enjoy going to the mailbox as holiday cards begin to arrive. It's so nice to see familiar names in the return addresses and find a letter inside helping us catch up with friends far and wide.
This is also the time of year we get a lot of solicitations and junk mail.....much more than usual. Many of these envelopes contain a "free gift"....a calendar, some greeting cards or dozens and dozens and dozens of return address labels personalized for us.
I like to use the address labels for our Christmas cards.......all 50 of them. A few others get used during the year but, frankly, we don't send snail mail very much any more. I also use a few to label our "things". One on my water bottle, one on Dave's, one on my quilting ruler etc. But still.....just how many labels do the organizations expect we would use....any how many trees, how much energy to produce them, how much waste??
Just a small "rant".....
