I always separate mine by zip code before I stuff them in the box and am always excited to see how “far and wide” they go. In the US at least.

I added a couple more this year, which means that some people won’t get one. I’m going to have to start buying more than one box. So sorry, Pittsburgh PA, Plymouth MA, and either Olathe KS or Kingston UT, wherever your winter home is. ---

I sent (50-some) New Year’s cards, not Christmas; but they went to many US states as well as England, Germany, Australia, France, and Canada. I mean to specific \*people \*there, not just “to England.” ---
