Keeping with the random style of this blog, I want to offer some sound advice on a hot-button issue: Christmas cards. It’s October, so we’re already about three months into the holiday season. But now’s the time to start thinking about those pesky holiday cards.
Christmas is the ultimate family time. It’s about putting life on pause and turning cell phones off. And while you’re in family mode, it’s important to remember the other people in your life that you may not see as often as you like. This is where Christmas cards can be your solution.
But don’t go and buy a box of 100 with a kitten on the front playing with a ball of string in front of a Christmas tree and stamp your name on the inside. Get personal. Yes, it is more time-consuming, but isn’t it worth the time? By making your own cards, you’re really able to showcase your inner creative soul, while giving those who receive them something to remember.
Use this time to work on them with your family! Make it a fun project, where everyone can have a different job. Kids love to feel like they’re involved and helpful. And don’t worry about cards being “perfect.” You can come up with your own ideas, then use websites like 123print.com to make it happen.

I was looking around on there, and you can do things like add your own pictures to show your adorable kids or that awesome vacation in the mountains. Sometimes the endless options can be overwhelming, and this is where it’s cool to get the family involved. Get their opinions. Besides, the cards are “Love, the _______ family,” right?
So get your craft on for the holiday season and have fun with it! It doesn’t have to be stuffy or boring, or wild or crazy. It just has to be you.
