Peace and Joy to You This Holiday Season




This is another Christmas card from my very good friend John, who lives in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. As usual, he personalized the card with a separate handwritten message, which you can see here. I like to save my Christmas cards, but, you know, if you ever needed to throw any away, you could never get rid of the personalized ones, could you?

A Card from Grandmother to my Mom




This is a Christmas Card given from my Grandmother (my Mom's mom) to my Mom for Christmas a few years back. My grandmother is deceased now, so the card is even more special when you read it. My Grandmother was really a loving person, and I'm sure that she chose this card carefully. This card was published by American Greetings.

May your home be filled with the warmth and love of the holiday season



This card was sent to me, along with several others, a couple of weeks ago by the American Health Assistance Foundation (AHAF). They are recruiting for donations for Alzheimer's research. This card is part of the AHAF Exclusive Collection. Copyright 2007 by Nicky Boehme/Applejack Art Partners. If you want to donate to AHAF, their website is www.ahaf.org. It's interesting how the lighting can change the mood of the card.

One of my Favorite Cards!



This beautiful card was sent to my Mom from her friend from work Gloria and her husband Ray. It was this card, which was too beautiful to throw away, that made me decide to preserve the cards on the web. This one is made by Plus Mark, An American Geetings Company, and is copyrighted by American Greeting Company, Inc. It was made in the U.S.A. The numbers on the back say, "200B 16888 - 5". I want to frame this one.

Welcome to My Christmas Cards

Over the years, like most people, I have tried to not be such a pack rat and save everything. One thing that I have tried to resist is throwing away Christmas Cards that I receive from people. Although I have discarded some, one day I actually did save some in a file.

Christmas Cards are so beautiful- don't you agree? They are small, inexpensive but nice expressions of love and goodwill that people give each other. It doesn't matter what time of year it is- if you look at a Christmas Card, you get a good feeling inside.

Rather than save all my cards, I've decided to simply photograph them and store the images on my iPhoto on my computer. I also thought, though, that it'd be cool to share the beauty of Christmas Cards with others. So, woila! This is my Christmas Cards blog. I hope you like it.

I like receiving Christmas Cards. If you want to send me one, send it to:
