Holiday season? It’s all about gratitude

The holidays are upon us, and with them often comes chaos – the holiday shopping, wrapping up end-of-year projects, entertaining friends and family, having the kids home from school and all the other things that you have to deal with in the last month of the year.

But take a moment. Take a moment to step back, breathe, and be grateful.

Think about how lucky you are to have everything and everyone you have – even the chaos should make you thankful, because the chaos only exists because you have a job, a family, a social life, passions, hobbies … the list goes on.

It’s very easy to get swept up in the materialism and overall “busyness” of the holidays, but it’s important to remember to be grateful.

And it’s even better to show how grateful you are to others for their presence in your life.

A simple, personalized message on a unique card can make all the difference in someone’s day, and it is an easy way to express your gratitude for however they have affected you this year. Whether you want to thank a family member, a friend, or a co-worker, SendOutCards can help you send a personalized greeting card online to say it.

Think of all the people in your life you want to thank!

• Thank your spouse for his/her continued love and support
• Thank your child’s teacher for his/her efforts this year
• Thank your employees for all the time and energy they put into your company
• Thank your clients for trusting you with their projects
• Thank people in your network – those who gave you referrals, those who passed along your business cards or brochures, those who agreed to meet with you to hear your proposal (even if nothing came of it, thank them for the opportunity to meet with them)
• Thank your co-workers and colleagues for standing by you this year
• Thank the janitorial staff at your office for the work they do, which often goes unnoticed

The list can really go on forever if you take the time to pause and reflect on everyone who has helped bring you to where you are today.

SendOutCards lets you choose a unique greeting card design, add your own message to it, add photos if desired and even add gifts to go along with it – such as brownies, cookies, candles, and other assorted goodies!

So take a minute this holiday season. Take a minute to breathe. Take a minute to say thank you.
