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<p>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<p>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<p><a title=\"Seasons Greetings Snowfrost Ornament card\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/product\/seasons-greetings-snowfrost-ornament-card-300400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/12\/491cs_sm_1.thumbnail.gif\" alt=\"Seasons Greetings Snowfrost Ornament card\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>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 <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/christmas-cards\/personalized-christmas-cards\/\">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":{"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1301,1292,26,1302],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-68","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-holiday-traditions","category-occasions-and-celebrations","category-personalized-christmas-cards","category-welcoming-messages","cs-entry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v28.1 (Yoast SEO v28.1) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Personalized Christmas Cards and New Family Traditions - Business Greeting Card Blogs &amp;
