Christmas Greeting Card Ideas
Sending a Christmas card is one of the best ways in which you can connect with a faraway friend and exchange the spirit of the Christmas season with him.
It is simply not possible for every cousin and uncle and friend to come together at one place to celebrate Christmas. Those who are far-off share their love and cheer through Christmas greeting card missives. Pre-made Christmas cards are available in plenty in stores and at websites, and most people rely on it. But there are more personalized ways also in which you can convey your wishes.
Pre-Made Cards
Readymade Christmas cards are available in abundance in shops during the Christmas season. If you have to send cards to many people, you can buy it in bulk and get it a bit cheap. Then sign each card personally and mail it to the recipient. If you have time and do not have to send too many cards, spend a little more time on card selection and choose a different card for each. A short message may be enough on a card you are sending to a business associate, whereas the one you are sending to a friend can contain a more personal message. You should fully personalize the cards you are sending to family members and close friends, by adding personal messages or endearments.
Picture Postcards
You can get your own cards printed instead of buying readymade cards from stores. Select a recent family photograph or a photograph of some interesting event and get it printed on a set of cards through any online or offline printing services. You can have your name and address printed on it to avoid the bother of signing each card personally, but can add a hand-written message and sign it yourself for closer friends and family members. If you are good at drawing or painting, you can paint a picture and get it printed in bulk. For those who are very special to you, you can send separate painted cards, without getting them printed.
Holiday Newsletters
A family newsletter, in the model of newsletters that organizations send to their members, will make an apt Christmas gift for family members and close friends. You can detail in the newsletter everything that has happened in the one year after the last Christmas. This can include the changes or advancement in your career and personal life, and details of any new places you have seen if you had traveled in the previous year. If you are a history/politics buff, you can add the changes that have taken place across the world in the previous year, and analyze briefly its impact on you. Of course, you can design such newsletters only for those who will be interested in such details.
You can perhaps design two newsletters – one containing only family details, and another with more global details for those who will appreciate it. You can personalize these letters with photographs, cursive fonts, and good background themes.
