Cyrano de Christmas Card — just in time for the holidays!

Josh Fischel's Cyrano de Christmas Card site

I have never gotten around to holiday cards. Ever. When I was first married (and married first) my wife took care of that task — but since singledom I have been a failure at the annual piece of longhand reflection to bring friends and family back into the every-stretching loop.

Josh Fischel to the rescue!  I know Josh from his days as counselor extraordinaire to my two sons at an anachronistic summer idyll known as Camp Pemigewassett.  An extremely kind and generous young man, he took great interest in my children and has kept in touch with them many years after their youthful sojourns to Northern New Hampshire.

And now he is a niche marketeer with an incredibly well-defined offering and has embraced all of the new social media to promote it!

Now a writer, Josh has found a great and unmet demand in the market: nicely written holiday letters for distribution to those aforementioned friends and family.  For $30 (that’s right — WAY underpriced!) and the time it takes to fill out a simple SurveyMonkey form, Josh will craft that 1-2 page document you just never seem to get around to.  You provide Josh with just enough information about the content (true-to-form, witty, imaginative, purely fanciful), the tone (snarky, sarcastic, straight-on, wildly fanciful), fill in some highlights from your year — and he’s off and writing.

Bravo Josh: and best of luck this season. By the way readers: surveys must be completed (and your shopping) by December 18th!!
