Every year we get a slew of Seasons Greetings emails, and this year, we actually started reading them. These are our favorites, sort of a top ten list of holiday greetings, although we find the use of well loved paintings as greeting card images a little disturbing. We wish Two Coats readers all the best for an exciting and productive 2013. See you out and about…
