I started to add a daily coping tip to the SQLServerCentral newsletter and to the Community Circle, which is helping me deal with the issues in the world. I’m adding my responses for each day here. All my coping tips are under this tag. 

Today’s tip is to discover your artistic side and design your own Christmas cards.

I’m not a big Christmas card sender, but years ago I used to produce a letter for the family that we sent out to extended family and friends. It was a quick look at life on the ranch. At some point, I stopped doing it, but I decided to try and cope a little this year by restarting this.

While we haven’t done a lot this year, we have spent time together, and life has changed for us, albeit a bit strangely. I’m here all the time, which is good for family. So I gathered together some photos from the year, and put them together with some words and a digital Xmas card.

I’m not sharing the words here, but I’ll include the design with the photos.
