If you admire somebody, you should gon’ head and tell them. People never get the flowers while they can still smell ‘em.

I usually never send Christmas cards because I am so consumed with the end of the semester and finals to even acknowledge the holiday season. Then there was the matter or actually buying the cards and getting stamps, taking the time to write them, and getting addresses, etc. This year I decided there were no excuses, especially because my friends are all over the country and could really use a little holiday surprise as we all try to figure out this [very] “real world.” I do not write this post to pat myself on the back, but simply to say, especially during the holiday season make sure you take the time to appreciate the people you have in your life.
