I don\u2019t follow hockey or basketball, don\u2019t listen to sports talk radio, hardly watch the sports on the 11 o\u2019clock news, and I skim through my local paper\u2019s sport page in all of three minutes. For others who are into basketball, especially the college variety, there is something exciting called \u201cMarch Madness\u201d, which is a tournament where I think something like 300 or more teams play each other until there is a winner. For me, there is only \u201cDecember Madness\u201d, which is when I have to sit my butt down and figure out how many <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/christmas-cards\/personalized-christmas-cards.htm\">personalized Christmas cards<\/a><\/strong> to send out and to whom.<\/p>\n<p>The sending of Christmas cards should be a joyous task because it\u2019s \u201cthat time of year,\u201d yada, yada, yada. But I find it to be a bit on the stressful side because I don\u2019t want to make a mistake by forgetting someone who expects a Christmas card from me, you know what I mean? However, I usually am praised for my personalized Christmas cards selection, as I always buy my cards from The Gallery Collection. My clients want to know from which company I buy my cards and I always tell them to flip over the card for. The Gallery Collection\u2019s Christmas cards selection, which includes designs featuring gift boxes, Christmas trees, wreaths, holiday winter scenes, as well as religious cards \u2013 contain beautiful colors, shimmering foils, and sculpted embossing. No one can beat their astounding selection.<\/p>\n<p>As for \u201cMarch Madness\u201d, I think I\u2019ll pay a few bucks to be part of my office\u2019s contest where one can pick a team to win the whole thing and then you win a big bundle of money. Hey, maybe I\u2019ll get lucky and win enough to pay for my Christmas cards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The time between the end of the football season, at the beginning of February, and April, when baseball&hellip;","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1295,1313,26],"tags":[50,910],"class_list":{"0":"post-3910","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-community-and-engagement","7":"category-contests","8":"category-personalized-christmas-cards","9":"tag-christmas-cards","10":"tag-personalized-christmas-cards","11":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Personalized Christmas Cards and December Madness - Gallery Connection<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/personalized-christmas-cards\/personalized-christmas-cards-december-madness\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Personalized Christmas Cards and December Madness - Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The time between the end of the football season, at the beginning of February, and April, when baseball&hellip;\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/personalized-christmas-cards\/personalized-christmas-cards-december-madness\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gallery Connection\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2012-12-06T16:00:03+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2025-11-27T06:30:43+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Henry L.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Henry L.\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/personalized-christmas-cards\/personalized-christmas-cards-december-madness\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/personalized-christmas-cards\/personalized-christmas-cards-december-madness\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"Henry L.\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/#\/schema\/person\/354a198a194eb6492cbacff6edb7440b\"},\"headline\":\"Personalized Christmas Cards and December Madness\",\"datePublished\":\"2012-12-06T16:00:03+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2025-11-27T06:30:43+00:00\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/personalized-christmas-cards\/personalized-christmas-cards-december-madness\/\"},\"wordCount\":333,\"commentCount\":10,\"keywords\":[\"christmas cards\",\"Personalized Christmas Cards\"],\"articleSection\":[\"Community &amp;
