Hallmark Encourages Checking in With Old Friends This Christmas
Has it been a whole year? Two? Ten? Don't feel guilty!
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Dec. 15, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- You know that feeling when you check your holiday Christmas card list and get to that one cousin, niece, or friend you really meant to keep up with through the years, but didn't? Instead of feeling stressed, take holiday card sending as an opportunity to catch up with those special people.
Christmas can be a perfect time to reconnect with friends and loved ones. This year, Hallmark offers more than 2,700 Christmas card designs, including individual cards and boxed-card selections.
"Whether near or far, a Christmas card is a chance to let friends and loved ones know they're thought about, loved, appreciated – or even just wished all the joy of the season," said Cheryl Gaines, Hallmark Editorial Director. "Hallmark has a wide variety of Christmas messages to fit any relationship needs."
Design styles for Christmas range from cheerfully-bright holiday photos to beautifully bold illustrations to brand-new flashy card innovations to such hot licensed properties as Thomas Kinkade™, The Peanuts® Gang, Winnie the Pooh, Frosty the Snowman™, Happy Feet, and Disney's Prep & Landing.
