You’re not alone if you find that sending out your Christmas cards is quite a chore – many folks find that the whole process of selecting the cards, writing the notes, addressing the envelopes, and stamping the cards to be a significant and somewhat overwhelming chore during the already jam-packed holidays.

The next time you groan at the thought of all the work that goes into sending out your Christmas cards, thank your lucky stars you don’t have a Christmas card list of 3,000 people.  Not only that, but remember how happy receiving a Christmas card from a friend or family makes you and, in turn, how happy receiving your Christmas card will make your family and friends.  Giving someone happiness, no matter how large or small, is well worth the time and effort.

We get so many questons about the whole Christmas Card ordering process that I will try to address some of them here. We get many requests for a Christmas card catalogue that can be passed around the office. We do offer a catalogue are are more than happy to send one out to you but it is limited in that it only has ~ 100 of what one of our manufacturer calls "Favorites."

We have over 1200 differnet Christmas cards on our site so it is limited. I know that can seem overwhelming but we have categorized our cards into 50 different categories hoping that will help to narrow your search.

We recommend that you browse each category and pick out a few cards that interest you the most and request samples. Let me explain the best way to do this.

When you are looking at the first thumbnail page of each category, there is a drop-down list it gives you choices of how many cards you want to view per page. If you select "All" you can see all in that category without having to click through all the pages. It is a quick way to see all the cards in that category.

If you click on any thumbnail, you are taken to a page with a larger image which shows you much more detail. you can click on "Add to Favorites" which loads that image in to a "Favorites" folder on your computer which can be accessed by a link in the left column under the list of categories.

After you have selected a number of "Favorites" you can go to that folder to see what all you have collected and eliminate any at that time that you may have changed your mind about after having seen so many at this point.

If you click on those thumbnails you again will get the larger image. Under that image is number. Simply highlight and copy that number , open up the "Sample Cards" form which can be found right under the "MY Favorites" link in the left column and paste the numbers in there. Fill in your mailing information and the samples will be mailed out to you by way of first class mail the next day.

If you just want a catalogue to start, you can use the same form and just enter "catalogue" and we will send you one.
