It was not addressed to the family, but just to me. You cannot imagine the thrill of seeing my name on an envelope with a stamp. It came from my girlfriend who lived just around the corner and she spent three cents to send me my very own <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/christmas-cards.htm\"><strong>Christmas cards<\/strong><\/a>. This was huge. I still remember the red cardinal sitting proudly on a barren branch with snow falling. Strange how those certain areas of our life are shaped by one small memory. My love of the Christmas season blossomed along with a life long love of greeting cards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/product\/seasonis-greetings-cardinal-holiday-card-300783.htm\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-6054\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/78SCX.jpg\" alt=\"Season\u2019s Greetings Cardinal Holiday Card\" width=\"416\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/78SCX.jpg 416w, https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/78SCX-207x300.jpg 207w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I cannot go into a store without looking at the greeting card display or pass up a greeting card catalog. The thought of sending a card on any occasion fills me with anticipation. Part of that is the thought of how someone will feel when they receive the card. I always imagine someone getting the mail out of the box, and the expression on their face when they see a card addressed to them. I suppose I am projecting my feelings of joy forward. I certainly hope that a small measure of my feelings can be felt through the card by the recipient. Good wishes should always carry through the paper, don\u2019t you think?<\/p>\n<p>Although, every occasion warrants a card, the holiday season will always be my favorite. There are so many beautiful cards to select. A lovely winter scene with smoke curling from a chimney, a frolicking quartet of snowmen or an ornament in brilliant colors festively displayed. The choices are so vast it makes me smile for days when I finally decide. Just imagine when I sit down and write out the cards, address the envelopes, then mail them off. Nothing says Christmas louder or more clearly than sending out the cards.<\/p>\n<p>How lucky I am to have found a job later in my life working for a greeting card company? Going to work is a joy, pleasing people with our quality cards is a joy and most of all the hectic holiday season is joyful, tiring but joyful. I leave you with a wish for a wonderful holiday season filled with a mailbox of fabulous greeting cards!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When I was a little girl of six, I received a beautiful Christmas card in the mail.
