Card Writing Day

In my University days I used to write for hours at a time and as fast as possible in order to keep pace with the spoken word.  These days physical writing seems to be a lot harder work. We all favour typing, like this blog post, but if I'm going to the trouble of buying cards and specialised postage stamps then doing the addressing, envelope licking and stamp sticking, as well as the posting, then an extra 15 minutes each to write something down, once a year can't be that hard.  There are some tips. 

• Do the card writing earlier in December rather than later 
• Have the list of recipients and their addresses ready
• Use an ink stamp for the return address or don't even bother with one\
• Mention which year it is
• Don't carry them around in your pocket for a week 
• Derr: use the cheap stamps 

Even still I just spent four hours writing 15 Christmas cards, filling just one of the blank pages with text.  You can get on a roll and say much the same thing in each card. They are not going to read each others. 

I need more stamps
