December is here
and I am officially allowed to write about Christmas, am I right? I
hope that this will be a wonderful month for us all. I'll be going to
Finland for the holidays and that's always great.
It's important to
be nice all year round of course, but if it sometimes gets forgotten
in all the everyday hectic, amends can surely be made around
Christmas time. In my post
Give a very merry Christmas from
last December I wrote about being charitable and helping others, and
I also want to remind of that again.
With today's post
I want to encourage you to remember somebody with a card for
Christmas, and also show you a few Christmas cards from my
collection, old and new. That collection grows constantly, because I
always buy more cards than I send. Quite often I prefer animals in
serene settings on the cards, and I'm sure you won't be too surprised
to learn that I have an extensive hedgehog card collection.
I love beautiful
cards in general and like sending them to all occasions, but
especially at Christmas it's nice to remember your loved ones and
friends with a card. In my family this tradition is still luckily
alive and well, but I'm afraid that many people are nowadays using
the electronic greeting options instead. I think that a simple card
can be a nice gesture and cheer people up, especially those who are
lonely. If you know someone like that, maybe an elderly person or a
long-lost friend, wouldn't it be great to send or give them a little
card?
