Anything with a Christian message. Although this year we may do photo cards. Not sure.

I usually make my own. I use the pre-creased cardstock and use my own graphics and words.

Christian message is right on. Jesus is the reason.

I use the photgraphers Edge Catalogue and purchase the supplies to make my own from my photos. IT is no more expensive then buying boxed cards. I also use this company and sometimes sell my own cards at local craft markets etc.

When I do send Christmas cards, I like to find cards that are as unusual and unique as possible.

I spent a bunch on stamping supplies and card stock, ribbon, etc.. the last several years, ran out of time, didn't get them done, and then.... bought some from the dollar store that didn't fit the envelopes correctly. My husband's family has a big family reunion Christmas dinner and they pass out about 50 cards at it. Some of my favorite to receive are the ones with family pics on it.
This year we are going to do something nicer, I have to face the facts- I don't have time to make them anymore.

I don't send many anymore. Definitely Christian theme. Just to a few close friends and relatives. (I can remember being a kid and sening out 50. I think my mother back then was sending about 250.)

Hmm... Usually I pick up some after Christmas for super cheap. :) If I had a lot of extra money, I'd order some from this one Christmas card catalog. They have some really neat ones.

We usually take a family photo a couple weeks before Christmas. Then, we upload the photo to our computer and order the photo cards from snapfish.com. THey are super affordable and if we wait till the last minute, we can even just pick them up within an hour at our local walgreens instead of waiting for shipping.

I try to find cards that have a thoughtful Christian message and Bible verse. That's why
it's Christmas.

I try to mix it up every year. We did a Christmas letter, in color and with photos, a few year ago. Then, we bought traditional ones the next year. After that, I made them myself. Last year, we did the photo cards. I haven't decided yet for this year.

It is getting more difficult to find cards that say anything but Happy holidays. I refuse to buy them. I will only send out Christmas Cards. I prefer the ones with Scriptures in them.

It all depends on my mood each year. I try to mix it up and send different ones each year.

I don't send them anymore. I used to send ones that always had a cat on it.

I rarely send Christmas cards anymore but send Christian ones when I do. I used to make my own personalized cards.

I give my nieces and nephews money so I use money cards. I don't send any cards to others. Christmas isn't my holiday but it is for some of my family - so I celebrate with them to some extent.
