How to Send After-Christmas Cards
- 1
Choose cards with "Happy Holidays" or New Year's themes. These cards offer a thoughtful greeting without offending people who do and people who do not celebrate the religious holiday. - 2
Buy blank cards with a winter, snowflake or inspirational theme. Add a personal note such as a highlight of your year. Offer a comment on your friendship, the weather, family or pets, and good wishes for the upcoming months. - 3). Use these cards to answer notes and letters you received for the holiday. In the lull after Christmas, reply to or update your friends.

Thank people who made your holiday better. Use your after-Christmas cards to send a gift thank-you, hostess note or other words of appreciation. - 5). Buy stamped postcards from the post office. Address the cards and mail them off to the people who matter in your life. The limited space of a postcard is a perfect way to stay in touch while keeping the message brief.
- 6
Go through your list of acquaintances, classmates and other people in your address book that come to mind. If you only write once every year or two, now is a good time to send a short note and perhaps a favorite photo in a card. - 7). Sign and send the cards any time after Christmas and before mid-January. Your goal is to send a timely short message of thanks, year-end sentiment or good will.
