“Christmas is always with us.”
I know that we have one evening and day that we “officially” celebrate Christmas. No matter what your persuasion or belief the Christmas season emphasizes the spirit of giving and philanthropy abounds all around us lifting our spirits as the generosity of people renews our hope in ourselves and fellow man. Sometimes I wish we could hear about and see this generosity all year round! Our headlines have a tendency to focus on our sorrows and the ills of this world rather than the good! Personally, I love good news! I love the tradition of sending Christmas cards filled with the good news of the past year! I know that in today’s social networking that all of our news travels at the speed of light and that putting little highlights of our year in a Christmas card may be sending “old news,” but Christmas follows the season of Thanksgiving and there is just something special about documenting those things that we are grateful for and sharing it with our loved ones. I don’t have a fireplace…but I sure wish that I did…because the romantic in me sees a mantle filled with lovely Christmas cards conveying messages of good will and peace to all!
I know that many people get overwhelmed with making Christmas cards. I’ve experienced that myself! So, my goal with this make and take for my open house was to give folks a doable card for such a busy season. I kept it simple with just a little “bling” on the inside!
