A Gallup article stated that over 90% of Americans say they have a very positive or positive reaction when receiving personal letters and cards.
And while Christmas is joy-filled, bright, exciting, and busy, a lot of people are dealing with the exact opposite: a different Gallup article revealed that “Currently, 17% of U.S. adults report experiencing significant loneliness ‘yesterday,’ projecting to an estimated 44 million people.”
So if you’re in a position to send a Christmas card this year… do it.
We don’t know the positive ripple effect a Christmas card can have on someone’s life. That folded piece of paper can share the hope of Jesus Christ. On the inside or back of your card, simply add one of these verses:
