Architectural Holiday Cards

This year was the first time we went digital with our Holiday Card. We had mixed feelings about this. There is something tactile, warm and fuzzy about getting a card from your mailbox and opening up an envelope. On the other hand, these days the mailbox is for bills and junk mail. There is something environic (green) about communicating through cyberspace -- or is it just to save on stamps and labels? There seems something impersonal about simply clicking the send button, but it is nice to see the replies instantly streaming back, as it is much more convenient to respond to an e-mail than to a card. Here is an excerpt from a reply to this year's holiday card:

"I am glad you skipped the paper version. I also think it is a shame knowing so many trees have be cut and so many chemicals need to be used, to make the cards, then to be thrown away after Christmas. We need all the oxygen producing trees we can get."

Either way it is nice to hear from folks we may not have had the opportunity to correspond with for a while.

When we were putting together our Holiday Card this year, we took a trip down memory lane and looked at our cards of years past. We displayed them (2009 back to 1994) for you to see new or remember when you received them.

Happy Holidays!
