Christmas Cards
Christmas Cards - Fun to Send and
Receive
The week after Thanksgiving, the Christmas cards start arriving. I really like to display Christmas cards all during December. They are hanging everywhere in the house as I pin them to red ribbons. Every year, the number of Christmas cards I receive usually increases by 50 percent. I presently send out eighty three cards to family and friends and receive about sixty. I enjoy Christmas cards because they seem to come from all points over the worls. I have made many friends over the years and have been very vigilant to remember to include them all in my mailing of Christmascards every year. I like to let all the persons that has affected me in my life to know that I remember them and think about them. My favorite Christmas cards are the handmade ones. Beside 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 one 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 am not a big fan of religious Christmascards and I don't usually display the bulk Christmas cards with plain pictures in my living room. I don't put the Christmas cards with nativity scenes out in my family room. Adding sparkles and glitter to Christmas cards look wonderful. It makes them look so special when there are extra embellishments on them. I also like to send and receive cards with personal notes inside. I am always excited to hear good news from old friends. Christmas cards with included photos also keep me feeling like I am part of my friends' lives. I encourage my children to send out their own Christmas cards to their friends. Even if their friends don't reciprocate, yet, someday they will. My children make their own Christmas cards with white tags and craft items. My daughter prefers using stamps and ink to create Christmas cards. My son prefers to glue lots of small shiny stuff to create his work of art.
