Chiocciola Posta Holiday Cards
In case you are new to Chiocciola Posta you will have to catch up in the old posts listed in the Categories over there. In a nutshell, I coined the phrase as a fun way to say Snail Mail, but in Italian, because it just rolls off the tongue so nicely. I listed 10 reasons to send Chiocciola Posta Holiday Cards on our Facebook page. I discovered my first Holiday Card in my mail slot yesterday and it made me smile. I always appreciate any greeting, no matter the method of sending, but when I see a person’s handwriting on the envelope, it just gives my heart a little glow. No one has captured the joy of sending Snail Mail on film better than Jamie Beck of From Me to You. Here are some of her images:
Can you eek out an afternoon, with cocoa nearby, to pen just one personal line in each greeting? “It was lovely to see you last week!” or “I hope you are making those fabulous toffee bars this year!” or “Enjoy your first Christmas together!”
Come on! Putting on the stamps is fun! Plus, we have to do our part to keep the postal system afloat!
Just paint your nails red and off to the post office you go!
There’s plenty more images to see over at Jamie’s blog including the best one of slipping the cards in the post office box. I can just hear that celebratory CLANG! as the lid snaps shut! It is as satisfying as a piece of extra dark chocolate at four in the afternoon.
