You have seen it on all of<br />
your favorite online shopping<br />
outlets this time of the<br />
year: Order by Dec. XX<br />
with this form of shipping<br />
to get your things in time for<br />
Christmas.<br />
You inevitably miss that<br />
deadline, and now you are<br />
stuck paying an extra $10<br />
for expedited shipping on<br />
that darn new Eminem album<br />
— why does he listen<br />
to this stuff? — Jimmy could<br />
have bought digitally if the<br />
hipsters he’s fallen in with<br />
this school year hadn’t convinced<br />
him vinyl just has a<br />
warmth that cannot be recreated<br />
with ones and zeros.<br />
So, we’ll offer you a similar<br />
warning, because this is<br />
one of those deals you just<br />
don’t want to miss: The<br />
deadline for the 2017 Holiday<br />
Card Contest is but two<br />
weeks away. And holiday<br />
mail is an inexact science.<br />
So mail soon if you want to<br />
make sure your entry arrives<br />
by our deadline.<br />
In case you have forgotten,<br />
here are the details.<br />
We want to see your custom<br />
Christmas cards (homemade,<br />
unique, funny jokes,<br />
cool envelopes), read your<br />
year-end letters, and check<br />
out your holiday photos and<br />
drawings.<br />
Whatever it is you do for<br />
THERE’S A BETTER WAY<br />
TO ADVERTISE THIS HOLIDAY SEASON<br />
