I think people really take for granted the meaning behind a simple Christmas card, especially in today’s day and age. I know for me personally, there are a lot of people I would want to show my appreciation for, but it’s hard to do without breaking the bank. Sending a Christmas card does that for me! It’s an easy way to be able to give to more people while still staying within budget. There are so many great cards to choose from, whether you decide to purchase them online or in-store. You could even make your own!

This year is your chance to get creative, even if you aren’t the most artistic. Christmas cards are more than just finding a card with a generic message and signing your name. For me, it’s all about creating your own cute personal message to a person and adding a few stickers or stamps to make it even more special. People love thoughtful and unique messages, so do anything you can to make your cards your own!

Setting aside time to get some cute cards done is totally worth it to give someone in your life a little joy. For me, it’s also super relaxing. It’s nice to just set some time aside, light a candle and fill out some cards. You can listen to your favourite podcast or even catch up on some lectures.

You can also take this time to get into the Christmas spirit! Nothing says Christmas quite as literally as Christmas cards.  You can play your favourite Christmas tunes or Christmas films as you get your cards all ready to send out, or maybe even write them as you wait for a fresh batch of cookies to come out of the oven.

Sending Christmas cards is a great way to brighten someone’s day. Just remember that if you do plan to send them you better start soon, as Christmas is just around the corner!
