So I was thinking to myself, “Candy Ass, you need to shake things up this season by sending out holiday cards that have that “wow” factor.”
And if you’ve been reading my blog for even a hot second, then you know I don’t mean a “Wow! Not only is Kim beautiful both inside and out, but she’s also super classy and exceptionally elegant.” Nooo, what I’m looking for is more of a “Wow! Not only is Kim beautiful both inside and out, but she’s also super nutty and exceptionally under medicated.”
It’s important to have goals.
Let me ask you this…did you know that you can mail almost anything under 13 ounces, for about $2-$3, without wrapping it?

When you get a chance, you need to check out the blog www.giverslog.com, specifically her “13 Ounces or Less” posts. It’s true “mailing fun shit” inspiration!
Anyway, here’s my idea: SNOW
That’s right, my idea is to mail snow. No, not real snow…
Believe it or not, I already own a shitload of this stuff (You believe it, don’t you?).
By sending it in its powder form, the recipient can add the water themselves and experience the excitement of creating their own snow! OMG, my kids go absolutely bat shit with this stuff!
How to create a “Let it Snow” holiday greeting:
1. Create a holiday card with a clever “Let it Snow” theme, such as:

2. Buy a clear container from a craft supply store:
3. Curve the card into a cylinder shape and insert it into the container, making sure that the picture is facing outward. Then pour some of the snow powder inside along with hand written instructions about how much water to add (you can find this information on the back of the snow packaging).
4. Make certain to seal the top & bottom of the container with clear packaging tape.
5. Slap the address label and postage on the outside, then mail.
6. Sit back and wait for the phone calls to come rolling in, telling you how awesome you are!
So why don’t I have a sample to show you? Well, um….I went online the other day, just to see if anyone else had come up with this idea…and…well…the good news is, I don’t think anyone has. The bad news, there’s probably a reason for that…
Gee, I guess it does look a little bit like Anthrax.
I still think it’s a clever idea…
but John, on the other hand, does not.
Ok, so there might be some kinks to work out, but I’m very determined…and apparently “stupid”. A dangerous combination.
If you have any suggestions, a way I can ship the snow without shutting down post offices across the country, please leave a comment below. I’d hate to be the reason you didn’t receive your Aunt Marge’s Pepperidge Farm Holiday Sampler.
