It\u2019s a wonderful feeling to open up your mailbox at the end of a long day to find personal Christmas cards<\/a><\/strong>. I\u2019m so used to receiving bills that it is a welcome treat to see beautiful Christmas greeting cards from my aunt in Florida and my best friend from childhood. I look forward to receiving these heartfelt greetings every holiday season.<\/p>\n

And now that I am a mother, I want to encourage my children to send personal greeting cards to their grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and friends. I believe that keeping the art of letter-writing and card-sending alive is very important in this age of emailing, blogs, instant messenger, text messaging, and chat rooms.<\/p>\n

Since I work for The Gallery Collection, when sending a personalized greeting card, I always look at our collection first because I truly believe we make the most beautiful holiday cards out there. The embossing and foils add such richness to the cards\u2019 original designs that I do not need to look beyond our website or catalog. This year I asked my children to help choose the best card for our family. They decided on design 491CS, the Seasons Greetings Snowfrost Ornament card which looks like this:<\/p>\n

\"Seasons<\/a><\/p>\n

As a family, we spent some time creating a greeting to express our sentiment for the holiday season and our wishes for the New Year. Our custom Christmas cards<\/a><\/strong> were printed in elegant silver foil to add a final touch of elegance. So now, our holiday cards are complete and ready for mailing, and with this comes a new family tradition of personalizing our holiday greetings together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s nothing like the tradition of personalized Christmas cards sent with love to slow down this fast-paced world of instant information.","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":[1292,1301,1302,26],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-68","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-occasions-and-celebrations","7":"category-holiday-traditions","8":"category-welcoming-messages","9":"category-personalized-christmas-cards","10":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"\nPersonalized Christmas Cards and New Family Traditions -
