Why I don't send holiday greetings via email, blog article written by Ted Prodromou

Happy New Year. 

I know I'm not the first and definitely won't be the last to welcome you to 2024. 

Is your inbox full of insincere holiday greetings? 

I stopped sending bulk holiday greetings via email because frankly, most of them make me want to puke. 

Here's a sample: 

Subject: 🎉 Happy New Year. Let's Make 2024 Unforgettable 🌟 

Dear Ted,

Makes you want to puke, doesn't it? 

ChatGPT wrote this sappy message, so please, please, please don't cut and paste content. 

What do I do to let people know I appreciate them? 

Years ago, my good friend Susan RoAne taught me to send handwritten cards and thank you notes throughout the year. 

Your message doesn't get lost in a million other Hallmark-style emails. 

Writing a handwritten card only takes a few minutes. 

The impact lasts forever.
