Time to Send Christmas Cards!

When it comes to getting into the holiday spirit, there’s nothing better than sending or receiving a beautiful holiday greeting card. While Twitter and Instagram may be the perfect places to express yourself throughout the year, you should do something extra extraordinary over the holidays and send a good old fashioned card.

As print and physical mail start becoming a thing of the past, it’s rare and special to receive an actual piece of mail that isn’t a bill. Plus it’s super fun and retro to go to the post office.

So go ahead and show your friends and family some holiday love with a card that expresses your unique personality, your city or whatever else makes you merry. Any warm greeting whether it be Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, etc. is sure to make someone smile even if they don’t celebrate it themselves. Don’t get caught up in feeling the need to keep everything generic. Just say what you want to say. Most people don’t care and those who do don’t belong on your holiday list.

Christmas Eve by Bergdorf Goodman

Since the moment I saw this collectors worthy Bergdorf Goodman Snow Globe from the Franz Collection, I knew it was something every Aspiring Socialite should have on her mantel atop a rolling fire.  Showing a scenic view of the Bergdorf Goodman storefront in the winter of another time, this piece evokes thoughts of family and friends bearing holiday greetings.  Not to mention the millions of deals to be found during the after Christmas sales bound to take place inside that very department store beginning December 26.

Sometimes beauty and luxury can be found in the simple details such as the flicker of a light or the care you took in wrapping that special gift.  I know it’s not Thanksgiving, but before you unwrap your gifts, take a moment to admire your tree and be thankful for what you do have.  Take a break for a while, but, come New Year’s Eve remember to pick up where you left off in your socialite aspirations.  For 2011 holds far more of high society to conquer.  For example, I strongly admire the fine detail the artists at Bergdorf Goodman put into their holiday window displays centered around the theme of travel.
