Holiday cards can present an annual dilemma. Life is crazy-busy in December, and your to-do list is longer than Santa\u2019s beard. But, you also want to send warm holiday wishes to the people you care about \u2013 something more meaningful than liking their latest post on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were there any new people that came into your lives this year? Did any families expand with a baby or a new pet? Did someone have an added impact on your family in some way?
