The holidays are one of my favorite times of the year. It is up there with my love of the first day of school. Each year my goal is to have my presents wrapped and ready to go at least one if not two weeks before Christmas. This allows me time to enjoy so many of the festivities happening around Lake Minnetonka, free from the stress.

It’s the holidays, for some it is time to scramble, create and mail out your family’s holiday cards. I did a holiday card for about 17 years. I stopped after my divorce, by then my children were mostly grown. Now that I have younger stepkids, I’ve been thinking about getting them going again.

Sending a card, especially a handwritten card for any occasion seems to be going more and more by the wayside. This is a trend that is changing. The younger generations love the novelty of cards in the mail and older generations want it back. This is why a business like Epitome Papers in Excelsior is creating such excitement.
