When mailing your happy holiday cards, it's obvious that you should send a greeting to your sister or your best friend. But your family and friends aren't the only people who should be on your holiday card mailing list this year. There are so many individuals who make an impact on your everyday life, and they should be recognized as well. Remember to send the following people Christmas greeting cards this year:
Teachers and after-school care
Your children's teachers work hard to give your little ones a good education. Give these professors a quick word of appreciation by sending them a card. Similarly, who takes care of your children when you're at work or when you have to get things done around the house? These are the individuals who should be remembered this holiday season, as they keep a close eye on your children while you cross things off of your to-do list.
Letter carrier
Letter carriers spend their days delivering cards and making sure everyone gets their packages on time. But has anyone ever stopped to thank them for what they do every day? A greeting card is the perfect way to say thank you to your letter carrier for continuing to deliver your mail each year. In that same vein, offer your FedEx or UPS man or woman a holiday card as well. Just like your letter carrier, they make sure that every package gets right to your doorstep.
Building maintenance
When you leave the office and head home each day, the building maintenance crew works hard to clean up the space so it's sparkling when you come in the next morning. Take a moment to say thank you in a holiday card and tell them you appreciate their efforts to keep your office space tidy. You may also want to drop a quick note to building security as well, because these are the people who look after your safety each day.
Dry cleaning staff
When you need your favorite suit or dress pressed for that meeting or special occasion, you rely on your local dry cleaners. Getting those wrinkles and stains out of your clothing may seem insignificant at the time, but the dry cleaners help you look presentable for all of the important events in your life, whether it's a date or a big meeting at work.
Lawn care specialist
When you come home from work at the end of the day, the last thing you want to have to do is mow the lawn or tend to the weeds in your backyard. That's when you rely on your lawn care specialist to keep the exterior of your home looking as neat, tidy and welcoming as the interior. Say thank you with a holiday card.
Hairstylist
I'm so glad I have a hairstylist to rely on when I need to look presentable for work or for a night out with friends. I've been visiting the same hairstylist for a few years now, and she deserves to be thanked for all of her hard work. If you have a hairstylist who you visit regularly, think about sending him or her a Christmas card as a small way to show your appreciation.
