Surprise Them With Your Seasonal Sentiments | Personalised Christmas Cards from GettingPersonal.co.uk

26 October 2009

Christmas time is a time to get cuddly and sentimental - it's lovely snuggling up on the sofa and basking in the warmth from a roaring fire (or just turning up the central heating!) It's also really great watching young children or people you love unwrapping their presents and seeing the joy on their faces when they're surprised by the presents you got them.
There's a great big injustice every year though and were looking to fix it! The most sacred of Christmas traditions, the Christmas card has become boring and useful for little else than kindle. Seriously! How many times have you opened a Christmas card with some boring image on the front, only to see something as simple as: 'Love from Lucy, xoxoxo' scrawled inside? Have you ever wondered why people ever bother?

With the advent of e-cards, things maybe have arguably got even worse because now you can end up with a inbox full of animated Christmas characters with the same dull 'Love from Tom, xxx' message associated with them. When Christmas cards were first invented they were intended as an efficient way to send someone's loved ones seasonal greetings. They were letters which were small and decorative that told the recipient they were loved and said something thoughtful or sentimental about the passing year. They used to be exciting to receive and have surprising, or funny images printed on the front and memorable messages written inside them.

In these days of mass produced cards the meaning seems to have been lost but Personalised Christmas Cards are set to change that! They're making cards meaningful again and they're available for under £3 each, you can personalise the design on the front of the card online by adding any name or nickname and then you can have them sent to your loved ones with a message printed inside directly or you can add the message yourself at home.

They're great because they're different to the boring cards you can buy in the supermarket and they really surprise people by engaging directly with them.

A Thoughtful Time
Personalised Christmas Cards are perfect because Christmas is a thoughtful time. Sitting around full of food and booze many of us reflect on the year we're leaving behind and the new one which is approaching and we share stories and happiness with our nearest and dearest. Because Personalised Christmas cards give you the chance to tell your friends and family how much they mean to you, you can add to the seasonal atmosphere by choosing cool things to write in your cards.

If you have friends who have recently got married or had a baby then mentioning that in the Christmas card is a great idea (remember to put the year you gave them the card in the corner too) that way when they keep your card, they'll be reminded of a great Christmas and a certain time in their life for years to come. The same goes for retirements and landmark birthdays or new jobs. A Christmas card can be a place to put a romantic message such as a poem, or a place to voice support and guidance or even somewhere to celebrate a new era in a person's life. Personalised Christmas Cards can, if written well, be a snapshot of the year and a beautifully meaningful, elegant and inexpensive gift for someone.

Showing You Care
We all think of Christmas as a time to show we care. That's why stories like the tale of Scrooge by Charles Dickens ring true. These days though there are so many scrooges, people who say they think that Christmas is all about capitalism or that it's 'just for kids.' If you encounter a scrooge one of the best ways to combat their miserly, bah-humbugs is to give them Personalised Christmas cards, festive favours such as candy canes or cookies and lots of love. Let the scrooges in your life know how sentimental and magical Christmas can be (even for grown ups!) and you'll soon have them in the festive spirit!

If Personalised Christmas cards with heartfelt messages inside them don't do the trick to get your own personal scrooge feeling Christmassy then don't give up. Turn on the Christmas songs, deck the halls with boughs of holly, get them merry with a splosh of sherry and feed them a mince pie! Christmas time is a time to celebrate a year of fun and enriching experiences, a time to share with friends and a time to be jolly, whatever your age or attitude.
