How to Organize Your Christmas Card List
Start with last year's cards
The easiest way to build a list is to look at who sent you cards last year and who you sent cards to. That overlap is usually your core list.
Import contacts instead of retyping
If your family and friends are already in your phone's Contacts, import them instead of typing addresses by hand. MerryList's contacts import brings in names and addresses in a few taps.
Keep the list current year to year
People move, and lists get stale. A system that carries your list forward automatically, resetting just the Sent/Received checkmarks each year, saves you from rebuilding it every December.
FAQ
How many people should be on a Christmas card list?
There's no right number. Most people land somewhere between 15 and 50 households, based on family, close friends, and neighbors.
Should I organize my list by household or by person?
By household. Cards go to families, not individuals, so tracking "The Garcia Family" as one entry with one address is simpler than tracking each family member separately.
