What's Your Favorite Christmas Card Theme?

[Della]

So far this year we have received two family photos with no greetings or signature, just the picture. Today an actual card, dark blue with a star and inside, real, personal writing from Hub's older sister saying, "You really should get a cell-phone with a camera so we can see as well as hear you on our yearly family zoom meetings!" Still bossy after all these years.

I really like the beautiful scenic ones with snow on the ground and in the trees.

4) animals and nature.

I like them all! I typically have a mixture of them (piled up over the years so I can pick and choose). But the majority of the time, it's a religious card (like my avatar). I also send cards according to what is sent to me. So if someone sends me a scenic card, I tend to do the same. Now, we had a friend who painted, and he would make Christmas cards out of his paintings. Those were special treats, and it was difficult to send him a similar card, so I would send him the most expensive one.

I don't mind as long as it's not religious. I like ones depicting nature.

The ones my granddaughters draw.

We have a neighbor who loves sending cards - she sends them for every occasion. She would say all of the above.

One of my female cousins used to make handmade cards. Some were really clever. She doesn't do it anymore. Health problems and the like have likely put an end to her creativity.

I sent or gave out 12 Christmas card this year. Only 4 were reciprocated with a card and one with a phone call. The person that called said she's cutting way back on cards this year. I've sent cards to some cousins that haven't responded in several years - no explaination. Looks like I'll be trimming back my list next year, too.

Those are nice cards deb. I like looking through the cards at the thrift stores, especially the holiday ones. There are some really nice art work on some of them.

I bought two packs of vintage variety cards at PAWS thrift today. Half price, so $1.25 for all. Some cute ones. I'll donate back the ones I don't want.

I got this card a few weeks ago for 10 cents and framed it today. The mat and frame were also thrifted. It's very pretty and shiny which didn't show up in the picture. And the mat is more cream colored.

My daughter had my picture with Santa made into a card for me.

Beautiful cards Gaer! Probably the nicest I've ever seen. I bet the recipients are honored to receive one from you.

Thanks! Wish I could find a card publisher. I draw hundreds of them, but, all for fun!

@Gaer Those are absolutely amazing! Beautiful work. I hope those that have received appreciate the talent.

I think there are printing places online. You should open an Etsy shop. If you want the hassle. Because I have read it can be. Or perhaps a local shop would sell them.

More thrifted cards. Didn't include a cabin one I really like. I display them.

#1 is my main one, but I also like the animals/nature too.

My cards have to say Merry Christmas on them or I won't get them. I just have a problem with people not using or saying Merry Christmas. It is the holiday name & time.

Gaer, I absolutely love your cards! They're exceptional! I stopped sending cards, but I'd buy yours just to have them.

Beautiful cards Gaer! Probably the nicest I've ever seen.

I agree!

Wish I could find a card publisher.

I do too! More people should see them. I have no doubt that they'd sell.
