Christmas Cards!

Yes, I'm thinking about Christmas cards and it's only the beginning of November. And while I don't always appreciate the multitude of Christmas items showing up so early, Christmas cards are the one thing to which I give exception. For good reason... If I don't start working on them already, I will be hopelessly behind. What was meant as a Christmas card would end up as an Epiphany card at best! December is just too hopelessly busy to get any big projects done. Then begins the wading through of the endless varieties of cards - which, mind you, wouldn't be so bad if Ben and I weren't so picky about the cards we send, but we are. We don't like the non-religious (no Santas for us!), barely religious or all- encompassing religious, or the cutsie (trite) religious cards. Once in a while we've found a gem of a card from Hallmark's boxed cards (but those are usually gold-embossed and extra-expensive). Another option I've tried in the past is making our own cards (saves a bit in the wallet but you pay for it in the time spent). We've finally found an option that fits. We order our cards from The Printery House. They have a large selection of religious cards in varying costs (15.95 to 5.95 for 20 cards). It's very easy for us to find a good card that's in our budget. So how do you pick your Christmas cards? Let me know in the new poll on the left, in a comment, or both! If you have a really good place to get cards, share it!
