Do you still send “snail mail” Christmas cards? 😀 We received our first card last Friday, the day after Thanksgiving.
I do! I know a lot of people have stopped or send virtual cards, but I’m a die hard on this one. I just love sending and getting Christmas cards in the mail. But, I fear they are becoming a thing of the past. Unfortunately I receive fewer and fewer each year it seems. Virtual cards just aren’t the same to me. AND I can’t reuse virtual cards to make the next year as gift tags.
I even painted a set of old shutters in Christmas colors to display them.
I DO try to make my own Christmas cards when I can, and I PLANNED to do homemade again this year, but years like this last year full of issues sometimes finds me sending out box cards.
A local store carries boxed cards that are really nice quality, pretty cute and super affordable. I’m bound and determined that I WILL do homemade again soon 😀
I did try an annual letter a few times, but ended up in just doing a few paragraphs eventually hitting the highlights from throughout the year since.
Here are some cute wrapping ideas. I have been wrapping presents as I go again this year and able to spend a little more time decorating by doing it that way.
I thought we had our first Christmas card yesterday as the envelope was addressed to our family but it was an advertisement. Boo! Cheap trick. Cute wrapping ideas. I actually have that music wrapping paper and it does look pretty under the tree. Still need to wrap gifts around here.
LOL the only thing wrapped around here are the gifts for the foster kids I’m doing. I’ve been wrapping them as they arrive. I ordered most from Amazon because of the short turn around time frame and local shopping is so limited..
