By now you’ve got a mountain of holiday cards from friends and family piled on your table (or stuck on your refrigerator or tacked up on your bulletin board). My favorites are any of the many variations on the “seasons greetings” template with a spot for a picture of the kids and/or pets, often in matching holiday garb. Is that peach fuzz I see on Danny’s face? When did Rebecca start wearing braces? Do you think the Phillips’ new Jack Russell will get along with their Rottweiler? I have an accumulation of these things from holidays past and love to sift through them–solid and meaningful markers of time. Most say no more than something like “happy holidays, love Danny, Rebecca, Jack and Rex,” but they speak volumes.

I compare this year’s Right Media family holiday card to last year’s and feel exactly the same way. It’s been a tremendous year for us. We’ve grown like mad in every respect–from clients, to the volume of trading on the Exchange, to employees. The pictures on the cards say it. They show our family (ok, they also list all of the cities we’re in now on the inside), but they clearly tell the world about how much we’ve grown in all of these ways.

We’ll see if our design department can get everyone’s picture on the front of next year’s card. My guess is that it won’t be easy, with or without matching holiday garb.

Happy new year.
