anyone start their Christmas cards?
« on: November 15, 2011, 07:14:22 am »
Has anyone started writing their Christmas card? I help residents/ neighbors where I live and I have already gotten three orders. I have a design program. One lady came to me for help; She couldn't find any THANKSGIVING cards in the stores.

I don't even send Christmas cards anymore, but when I was a kid it was all the rage.  We loved sending and receiving them and displayed them!

I usually have mine ready to send out right after Thanksgiving.  I usually do 100 - 120 cards each year.  However, our budget is much tighter than last year so I doubt if I will be sending any out this year.  I had sent cards out every year for the past 32 years.
Have a wonderful day!

Haven't done the Christmas cards yet. I do them about two weeks before, so they get there around then and everyone has decided where they will be for Christmas. I do however finish my Christmas shopping in Oct. I find it is cheaper and easier, because you don't have to search through the large crowds and everything is not the same. Right before everything always looks the same.

I don't do the cards anymore, if I do I sent one it is in an email.  My husband still sents his Aunt one,who is 89 years old and she still sent them out also.

I haven't started Christmas cards, Christmas shopping or even Looking at anything Christmas yet. It seems every year the Marketer's try to get you shopping earlier and earlier. I refuse to even attempt anything until after Thanksgiving!! I guess this is my protest of the Big Companies!!

I still send out Christmas cards. I always do picture ones. I take pictures of my youngest daughter and our dog. Then I go to Walmart photo shop and find a card I like and upload the picture. This year, I found a card that had 3 picture spots so I used a couple pictures I had taken this summer when all of my kids were here. In one, my oldest son (30) was laying his head on my oldest daughter's (32) shoulder and my 18 year old son and 12 year old daughter were standing behind them and they were all smiling. I edited the picture and put GOOD KIDS on it. The other picture is all 4 kids choking each other and I edited that one and put BAD KIDS on it!!!! The 3rd spot is a picture of my youngest daughter and our dog. They turned out really cute! I will be finishing up addressing them and putting personal notes on them this weekend. I always mail my cards on Dec. 1.
