Half Notes

• Christmas Postage and e-Greetings
• November 25, 2008

  It is nearly Thanksgiving here in the United States, and that means we will soon be writing and sending Christmas greetings to those we hold dear.  At Holy Postage, we have been working to make possible a special selection of Christmas postage to beautifully adorn the envelopes of those cards - which may well be the most memorable communication someone will receive from a loved one this year.
     
  Please take a moment and visit our gift shop and peruse our Christmas postage.  We also have a wide array of downloadable wallpaper available for your cell phone.  You may want to consider one to remind you of the holiness of this season while using your phone.
     
  Finally, if you enjoy sending e-greetings to your friends, we have recently launched an e-greetings section of the Holy Postage site.  There is a wide array of images, music, poems, and quotes with which to convey your heartfelt sentiments.  Holy Postage e-greetings is here. The e-greetings site requires registration, which is, of course, free.
     
  Thank you for your support of this apostolate, by way of your patronage, and your prayers.
     
  Through Him, With Him, In Him,
  Sue
