Not only does it have a very beautiful Christmas tree, but it\u2019s all decorated with striped peppermint candies and topped off with two candy canes crisscrossed with a bow. Another design that really appealed to me is design #131CX, <em>Glistening Evergreen Branches Christmas Card<\/em>. This is a very classic design with its sparkly pine tree branches accompanied by the sentiment \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d scrolled beneath.<\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1393\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1393\" style=\"width: 307px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/card\/GlisteningEvergreenBranchesChristmasCard.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1393\" title=\"Design #131CX - Glistening Evergreen Branches Christmas Card\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/131cx.jpg\" alt=\"Design #131CX - Glistening Evergreen Branches Christmas Card\" width=\"307\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/131cx.jpg 307w, https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/131cx-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/131cx-297x300.jpg 297w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1393\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Design #131CX &#8211; Glistening Evergreen Branches Christmas Card<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/center>I was very impressed by all the designs that were featured in this catalog, but was really happy about the increase in designs featuring \u201cMerry Christmas\u201d sentiments. Not only were the designs beautiful, but the greeting selection was great. I know that companies try to be very sensitive about not offending anyone by mentioning a specific holiday, but it\u2019s quite nice for those of us who do celebrate Christmas to have such a great selection to choose from.
