Sometimes the simplest jokes land the best, especially with family. I made a playful card for my mom featuring a "Hi from Snowy St. Louis" message on the front, with the punchline inside featuring Hello Kitty on skis and the text "but sucks there's no skiing." A little geographical humor that hits different when you live in a mostly flat Midwestern city. The best part? Mom got the card and loved it enough to share it with our family WhatsApp group. There's something special about knowing a small piece of mail can create a ripple of smiles across our family chat. It's these little moments of connection, even through silly jokes about our city's lack of ski slopes, that help keep us close despite the distance.
