My Christmas Cards

My Lawyer Sends The Nicest Christmas Cards!

2010-12-07T01:23:00.000-08:00

Well, he did when I used to pay him every year. Now that we don't talk much and they money's not flowing from me to him, I don't get the cards anymore! Naw, I'm just kidding! He still sends the Christmas cards! And they are always great, and I like to get them! Speaking of which, it's almost time for me to send out some Christmas cards for this year!

Feliz Navidad Y Nuevo Ano

2009-08-08T20:44:00.000-07:00

This Christmas card was sent to me from my Grandmother, Birdelle Ransom, from Houston, Texas, a few years ago. The card says on the back, "impresado a mano", which means printed by hand, Puerto Vallarta, Mexico (my Grandmother traveled a lot, it seems, to Mexico. Well, she traveled there more than I do). This is one of my favorite Christmas cards.

May All Your Christmas Dreams Come True

This card, produced by Recycled Paper Products, Inc., features an old man (who looks a lot like Santa Claus) being flashed by a hot woman in a raincoat and high heels. Check out Santa checking her out! Oh, the priviledges of celebrity! My friend Hope gave me this Christmas card in 1984. Wow, time has flown!

Wishing You All the Joy and Wonder of the Season!

Wishing You the Merriest Holiday Season Ever!

This Christmas card was sent to me by Habitat for Humanity as part of a gift set, in the hopes that they can secure a donation from me. It features a snowman among some pine trees outside. He's wearing a black hat, a green scarf, a candy cane and 2 birds. He's also wearing green-tinted glasses. It's a cool card. I think I will send them a donation! Their website is www.habitat.org.

Barack Obama Christmas Cards

2008-11-13T13:29:00.001-08:00

Now that Christmas is fast approaching and people are now out shopping for Christmas cards, I think that there is some excitement around the country and around the world about the future. Christmas in the White House will be hosted by George W. Bush this year, true. However, there is an excitement all around, thinking about when Barack Obama and Michelle Obama and their daughters will live in the White House, and share their first Christmas there.

Washington D.C. is a beautiful place, especially the Mall area. I would like to see some Christmas cards with the White House decorated for Christmas, or to see the Mall lit up. It would also be nice to see some Barack Obama Christmas cards- that would be interesting. Does anybody know of any? I would pay for those! Imagine- Christmas Trees and lights, toys and Barack Obama, snow and reindeer, all in one holiday card! Maybe I'll design some.

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

2007-12-25T12:12:00.000-08:00

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.

Wishing you bright holiday moments and a happy new year.

This card was sent to me by one of my best friends, John Kuntz, back in 2003. He also wrote a personal note on the card (he'd just moved back to Miami). This card is by PMG, Inc.

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.

This beautiful little card was sent to my Mother from my Father's first cousin (and good friend of my Mom), Eunice Bradford, in 1998. Eunice died not too long after she sent this card, so it is special to us. This is "A Sunshine Card", Made in U.S.A.

This nice card was sent to my Mother and me for Christmas by her friend Cynthia Alexander, her son DeQwan and LaShawna, for Christmas in 1998. It was made by Plus Mark, An American Greetings Company.

One of my Favorite Cards!

2007-10-16T13:31:00.000-07:00

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

2007-10-16T10:34:00.000-07:00

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:

Thank you and I hope you enjoy my blog!
