We are sending Christmas letters both at home and at the office. I like the opportunity to make contact with friends and family, but I feel guilty because in some cases it’s the only communication all year. I tell myself it’s better than nothing. I’d like to personalize our Christmas greetings, but I don’t feel I have the time to add a personal note to each letter. “Better than nothing” falls short of the ideal. But the basket of cards and letters received symbolize a caring community and I trust our effort will symbolize the same.
