Early Preparations

Inspired by Xinie's recent poll on holiday card preferences.

1. As a frame of reference, what is your religious affiliation?

2. Do you celebrate Christmas, Hannukah, Yule, Winter Solstice, Kwanzaa, or any other holidays in late December?

3. Do you send greeting cards related to those holidays? If so, what kinds of imagery and prose do you tend to use?

4. Would you send just one style of card to everyone or would you tailor your cards to each person?

5. What kind of card makes puts you in the holiday spirit when you receive it? Is there any kind that can make that spirit fizzle?
