If merry falls in the middle of a sentence, it should not be capitalized.<\/li>\n<li>When writing a message in your Corporate Christmas Card please remember that it is correct to say \u201cThe Board of Directors and I wish you a\u2026\u201d not \u201cThe Board of Directors and me wish you a\u2026\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Asking someone to proof read your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/christmas-cards\/business-christmas-cards.htm\">Business Christmas Cards<\/a> may seem silly but sending out the \u201cwrong message\u201d is even sillier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"All companies want to put their best foot forward when sending Business Christmas Cards;
