First Xmas Card

I know it's a little corny, so give me ideas!

It’s our first Christmas spent as one,
A married couple, destined for fun,
Celebrating Jesus’ birthday together this year,
Is making it just all the more dear,
Hoping your holidays are cheery and bright,
Full of presents and family delight,
Looking forward now to 2010,
And cherishing our moments until then.

Wow I wish I would have had that for last Christmas, it is gorgeous and so sweet, I really like it!!!

This is part 2 of the Christmas card video I've been trying to upload all weekend, finally made it. Woohoo!

I want to send a Xmas card to my husbands RSM and his wife but don't know whether to put their first names or not....what's the etiquette? Please help!

How about:

Greetings Tom and Lisa, (or whatever their names are)

Merry Christmas Tom and Lisa,

Happy Holidays Tom and Lisa,

I would use their first names. It's a Christmas card. It's supposed to be warm and personal.

You're over thinking this a little, sweetie!
I can guarantee they won't be offended by a pretty, warm card that wishes them the best.
Have YOU ever been offended by a Christmas card?
What is the worst that could possibly happen from sending someone a Christmas card? Not much. Really, the worst thing they'd do is snicker and throw it in the trash, and even if they did that, you wouldn't be there to see it, so what difference does it make?

Right?

Try to relax.
I know this time of year has us all going crazy.

who knows in what year was the first xmas card produced

Here's what was written previously: "The tradition of sending Christmas cards originated in the mid-1800's when a few people began to design handmade cards to send to family and friends. A man named John Calcott Horsely is credited as being the first to actually print Christmas cards. The card depicted a family enjoying the holiday, with scenes of people performing acts of charity. The card was inscribed: "Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to You."

Want to get a feel on what people like most????
please state your opinion on all three if you have the extra time!

my personal thoughts
xmas cards - love them cute and look good on the wall!
Newsletter - i'm a crappy friend i never know what's going on in everyones life I LOVE these things it's a nice thing to read while sipping on some hot coco!
Photocard - always cute but a tad selfish/ annoying! but still sort of cute!

Your thoughts?

None of the above, if they're not going to bother to put a personal message on it. I have relatives who waste a stamp every year on a dumb card that just says, "Merry Christmas!" all generic on it. I absolutely LOATHE those stupid newsletters because it's like, why do I care that little Timmy made first chair violin or Susie got accepted to Brown? If you're just going to print off a form letter to brag about your kids, save a stamp by not sending me one, thanks very much. As for photo gift cards, I think it's rather presumptuous of parents to truly believe that anybody besides them cares about receiving a picture of their kids in holiday finery. I have vowed never to do photo cards when I have children. My absolute least favorite thing of all is a photo card of someone's pet, especially if that pet is wearing a stupid outfit or hat. I love my bulldog more than life itself, but I wouldn't put a photo of him on a card and mail it out to anyone, because then I'd qualify as a bona fide Crazy Dog Lady.
This year I sent out regular Christmas cards, and I put a heartfelt, personalized message on each one. It took me days to get all of them done, but at least it means something.
