Balancing Act blogger Alison Krupnick learns about life from holiday cards
Each December, I settle into the comforting, yet somewhat stressful ritual of sending holiday cards – choosing the photograph and the words, not too many, not too few, that will sum up my life for my far-flung family and friends.
