Month completed: December (well, duh!) 2007

As we well and truly enter the technological age, emails, text messages and social networking websites are now the main forms of communication among my generation. Communication is now very easy, almost too much so.

I’m not sure when was the last time I received a handwritten letter in the post, but I remembered how nice it felt. That someone had taken time out of their day specifically for me.

Recognising this, I made goal 57 to send out Christmas cards (slightly connected to this is goal 58, which involves sending out handwritten letters). And this Christmas, I have achieved this goal.

If you were one of the lucky people who got a card, congratulations. You mean a lot to me. If you missed out, don’t despair - I only sent out 10! Next year I plan to do a lot more.

Doing the cards felt surprisingly good. If you need a bit of Christmas cheer, send out a few Christmas cards - you’ll feel much better.

Merry Christmas all. Stay safe.
