We’ve rounded up five ideas to help you focus on the cheer—we’ll take care of the rest.<br /> <br /> <b>1. Sending holiday cards? Refresh your address book first. </b><br /> Use <a href="//www.google.com/forms/about">Forms</a> to make it easy for friends and family to send you their most recent mailing addresses. Just create a quick form and email it out or post the link on social media. Everyone’s addresses will be neatly added to a private spreadsheet.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcxL11nzHIuSOZkMkgwWrNFnP8ZDdmKByPkGepcpYERWiHzpcj5j4XgrWMp6txi_nb-wZYnD_HOJwCWvPz7tuZNnoOLn9ERusuJhAJLWyXxJSl_RpdugsQZDw10lMUa5NbUH99svCLiY1/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-12-05+at+11.26.43+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcxL11nzHIuSOZkMkgwWrNFnP8ZDdmKByPkGepcpYERWiHzpcj5j4XgrWMp6txi_nb-wZYnD_HOJwCWvPz7tuZNnoOLn9ERusuJhAJLWyXxJSl_RpdugsQZDw10lMUa5NbUH99svCLiY1/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-12-05+at+11.26.43+AM.png" width="580" /></a></div> <b>2. Now that you’ve got your addresses up to date—print out mailing labels. </b><br /> Use the handy <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/avery-label-merge/onacejilpbdgdhhoijnggpjolbdajepo?hl=en-US">Avery Label Merge add-on</a> to pull your holiday card addresses from Sheets into an Avery label template in Docs.

Send a digital, collaborative holiday letter with Docs. </b><br />  If you’d rather send holiday letters instead of cards, <a href="//www.google.com/docs/about">Docs</a> can let everyone in the family contribute, no matter where they are in the country or the world. Just create a doc, give everyone edit access and write your card together (and leave your thoughts and opinions with s<a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6033474?hl=en">uggested edits & comments</a>).

We’ve rounded up five ideas to help you focus on the cheer—we’ll take care of the rest.<br /> <br /> <b>1. Sending holiday cards? Refresh your address book first. </b><br /> Use <a href="//www.google.com/forms/about">Forms</a> to make it easy for friends and family to send you their most recent mailing addresses. Just create a quick form and email it out or post the link on social media. Everyone’s addresses will be neatly added to a private spreadsheet.<br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcxL11nzHIuSOZkMkgwWrNFnP8ZDdmKByPkGepcpYERWiHzpcj5j4XgrWMp6txi_nb-wZYnD_HOJwCWvPz7tuZNnoOLn9ERusuJhAJLWyXxJSl_RpdugsQZDw10lMUa5NbUH99svCLiY1/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-12-05+at+11.26.43+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMcxL11nzHIuSOZkMkgwWrNFnP8ZDdmKByPkGepcpYERWiHzpcj5j4XgrWMp6txi_nb-wZYnD_HOJwCWvPz7tuZNnoOLn9ERusuJhAJLWyXxJSl_RpdugsQZDw10lMUa5NbUH99svCLiY1/s1600/Screen+Shot+2014-12-05+at+11.26.43+AM.png" width="580" /></a></div> <b>2. Now that you’ve got your addresses up to date—print out mailing labels. </b><br /> Use the handy <a href="https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/avery-label-merge/onacejilpbdgdhhoijnggpjolbdajepo?hl=en-US">Avery Label Merge add-on</a> to pull your holiday card addresses from Sheets into an Avery label template in Docs.

Send a digital, collaborative holiday letter with Docs. </b><br />  If you’d rather send holiday letters instead of cards, <a href="//www.google.com/docs/about">Docs</a> can let everyone in the family contribute, no matter where they are in the country or the world. Just create a doc, give everyone edit access and write your card together (and leave your thoughts and opinions with s<a href="https://support.google.com/docs/answer/6033474?hl=en">uggested edits & comments</a>).

They can also provide extra stress when planes get delayed, cookies burn, and family photos go missing.<br /> <br /> This holiday season, try these 5 tips for using Google Drive to keep yourself and your family organized, connected, and above all, happy.<br /> <br /> <ol> <li><b>Organize your holiday essentials</b><br /><br />Having trouble keeping track of the flight itineraries your children are sending your way? Maybe you just need a central space to store photos from a family trip? With Google Drive, you can <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375091">organize your stuff into folders</a> so you can easily come back to it.<br /><br />To create a folder, click <b>New</b> in the top left corner of Drive, choose <b>Folder</b>, and name it. From there, you can drag and drop your stuff into it or right-click a file and choose <b>Move</b> to to add it to a folder. Now the need to dig around your desktop is gone!<br /><br /></li> <li><b>Quickly share files with your entire family<br /><br /></b>Have a pie recipe that you want to send to others? Quickly <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2494822">share it</a> straight from Drive. You can even decide whether the people you are sharing it with can edit, comment on, or simply view what you send them. That way, you can keep your grandson from “accidentally” adding an extra pound of sugar to your recipe.<br /><br />To share your recipe (or any other file), select it in Drive, click the <b>Share icon</b> and add the email addresses of the people you want to share it with. Next to the addresses, choose from the drop-down menu which <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2494886">level of access</a> you want people to have (e.g. edit, comment or view). Then let the family bake-off begin.<br /><br /></li> <li><b>Go attachment-free in your holiday emails<br /><br /></b>When sending invitations to your family’s annual holiday party with Gmail, you can also <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2480713">add a big file straight from Drive</a>, like the home video you put together for the occasion. Adding the file from Drive keeps you from using up storage space in Gmail and allows you to control who has access to the file you’ve included.<br /><br />When writing an email in Gmail, you can add a file from Drive at any time by clicking the <b>Drive icon</b> at the bottom of the email and choosing a file to add. Now everyone can see that video showcasing your unparalleled baking skills.<br /><br /></li> <li><b>No Internet at the cabin? No problem<br /><br /></b>Relaxing with nature doesn’t mean you shouldn't be able to see your photos or keep working on the holiday newsletter. Before you lose access to your Internet connection, simply sign in to your Chrome browser and visit <a href="http://drive.google.com/">drive.google.com</a>.

They can also provide extra stress when planes get delayed, cookies burn, and family photos go missing.<br /> <br /> This holiday season, try these 5 tips for using Google Drive to keep yourself and your family organized, connected, and above all, happy.<br /> <br /> <ol> <li><b>Organize your holiday essentials</b><br /><br />Having trouble keeping track of the flight itineraries your children are sending your way? Maybe you just need a central space to store photos from a family trip? With Google Drive, you can <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375091">organize your stuff into folders</a> so you can easily come back to it.<br /><br />To create a folder, click <b>New</b> in the top left corner of Drive, choose <b>Folder</b>, and name it. From there, you can drag and drop your stuff into it or right-click a file and choose <b>Move</b> to to add it to a folder. Now the need to dig around your desktop is gone!<br /><br /></li> <li><b>Quickly share files with your entire family<br /><br /></b>Have a pie recipe that you want to send to others? Quickly <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2494822">share it</a> straight from Drive. You can even decide whether the people you are sharing it with can edit, comment on, or simply view what you send them. That way, you can keep your grandson from “accidentally” adding an extra pound of sugar to your recipe.<br /><br />To share your recipe (or any other file), select it in Drive, click the <b>Share icon</b> and add the email addresses of the people you want to share it with. Next to the addresses, choose from the drop-down menu which <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2494886">level of access</a> you want people to have (e.g. edit, comment or view). Then let the family bake-off begin.<br /><br /></li> <li><b>Go attachment-free in your holiday emails<br /><br /></b>When sending invitations to your family’s annual holiday party with Gmail, you can also <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2480713">add a big file straight from Drive</a>, like the home video you put together for the occasion. Adding the file from Drive keeps you from using up storage space in Gmail and allows you to control who has access to the file you’ve included.<br /><br />When writing an email in Gmail, you can add a file from Drive at any time by clicking the <b>Drive icon</b> at the bottom of the email and choosing a file to add. Now everyone can see that video showcasing your unparalleled baking skills.<br /><br /></li> <li><b>No Internet at the cabin? No problem<br /><br /></b>Relaxing with nature doesn’t mean you shouldn't be able to see your photos or keep working on the holiday newsletter. Before you lose access to your Internet connection, simply sign in to your Chrome browser and visit <a href="http://drive.google.com/">drive.google.com</a>. That way, anytime you lose Internet or WiFi, you can just go back to Drive in Chrome and your files will be immediately <a href="https://support.google.com/drive/answer/2375012">viewable offline</a>!<br /><br />You can even edit your Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides offline, and all the changes you make will be saved for when your Internet connection comes back. That way, you can enjoy the end of fall without falling behind.<br /><br /></li> <li><b>Family photos and shopping lists on every device<br /><br /></b>Whether you’re in your living room or at the holiday party, on your laptop or your phone, you’ll never be without the ability to show off your family photos with Drive.
