Who would have thought in these days of instant news and entertainment, getting Christmas cards<\/strong><\/a> would have such sentimental value.  We all have anywhere from 50 to 100+ friends on Facebook, Twitter or some other form of social media.  But realistically, how many of those friends would you send, or would send you a Christmas card?  How many of these so-called friends actually \u201cknow\u201d you?  Besides looking\/commenting on their latest holiday status updates and pictures do you really care about expressing holiday cheer to these so-called friends?  But when you get a card, you know for sure, you have friends beyond the confines of social media.  The fact that you are receiving something in the mail, that you can touch and feel, and has been specifically sent to you, means more than any \u201clike\u201d or \u201cstatus update\u201d!<\/p>\n

Personalized Christmas cards take this a step further.  The fact that your friend or loved-one, took the time to not only select a beautiful card, but express their personal sentiments gives that annual Christmas card even greater meaning.  It means I\u2019m not just a blip on your screen; I\u2019m a person worthy of the time and effort it takes to send a distinctive greeting.  For me it means we\u2019re connected in the real world and it makes me feel special.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
