It’s that time of year again! The influx of holiday cards is hitting your mailbox and you’ll soon know who’s moved, who’s expecting, and who just looks really goofy in matching holiday sweaters. Have you put the finishing touches on your holiday card list yet?
If your list has been dwindling the last few years maybe it’s time you let Spokeo’s people search engine help. Imagine how much fun it would be to send long-lost relatives and friends a seasonal greeting they’re not expecting…it might even help reignite the lines of communication! Here are a few suggestions for using your holiday cards to reconnect this holiday season.

Get Back in Touch With Estranged Family
Families are complicated. Over the years almost every family has disagreements and moves and sometimes that can lead to estrangement between siblings, cousins, or even parents. Whether it all stemmed from an incident years ago or you just lost track of a loved one over the years, finding their address with Spokeo and sending a holiday card their way may just open up a future for you both.
Send a Card to Your High School Gang
Sure social media makes it easy to keep up with many of your teenage friends, but what about those who aren’t on Facebook or who don’t share much about their life? Dropping a line to say, “Happy Holidays!” is a great way to reconnect with the old gang from high school or college and it’s as easy as looking up a few names with a people search engine. Who knows, maybe it could even lead to a mini-reunion!
Say Hi to an Old Boss or Coworker
We’ve all experienced the pain of leaving a job then losing touch with treasured colleagues. It’s difficult to keep in touch when you’re not in contact from 9-5 every day and quickly the months turn into years. This year why not send that old secretary you loved a seasonal greeting and picture of your kids, or let your first mentor know they still mean a lot to you even from afar? Not only will reconnecting give you a warm fuzzy feeling you never know when it could result in a new professional networking opportunity.
Touch Base With an Old Friend
The older you get the more difficult it is to keep up with friends. Kids, family, and jobs get in the way and before you know it you haven’t talked to that mom from your running group or your old Navy buddy in decades. The holiday season is the perfect time to reach and say, “I’m thinking about you!” Not sure where your friend lives nowadays? Spokeo can help you find an address with as little as a first and last name.
This season’s all about building bridges and coming together. Everyone’s in a generous, giving mood and you never know whose month (or year!) you’re going to make with a simple note to say you care. Better order a few extra cards
