Christmas Cards

Christmas Cards - Fun to Send and Receive

I enjoy Christmas cards because they seem to come from all points over the globe. Over the years I have made many friends and have been very vigilant to remember to include them all in my sending of Christmascards each year. I like to let everyone special in my life to know that I remember them and think about them.

My favorite Christmas cards are the handmade ones. Those are the only ones that I have ever done anything beyond saving them in a large envelope with all the others from that year. I have taken a few of the super creative Christmas cards and had them framed for display. My favorite handmade Christmas card comes from my daughter. The best one featured three sparkling trees and I had it framed.

Christmas Cards - A Way to Reach out

I don't dislike any Christmas cards. They are really just a way for family and friends to reach out to one another and let them know that they are still thought of and cared about. I don't usually display the bulk Christmas cards with plain pictures in my living room, though. I'm also not a big fan of overly religious Christmascards. I do not put the Christmas cards with nativity scenes out in my family room.

I think that sparkles and glitter are wonderful additions to Christmas cards. All of the extra embellishments are what makes them so special. I also like to send and receive cards with personal notes inside. Good news from old friends are always welcome. And when photos are included, it makes me feel like I am part of my friends' lives.

I encourage my kids to send out their own Christmas cards to their friends. Even if their friends do not send one back, yet, sooner or later they will. My kids create their own Christmas cards with white tags and craft items. My daughter likes using stamps and ink to make Christmas cards. My son likes to glue various shiny objects to create his masterpieces.
