Special Christmas Cards

I'm 36. When I was a kid, I used to love getting these special "cards" that I'd get from my family:

They were often large, maybe 11" x 17" (give or take), were sturdy, and they often depicted an old fashioned European village. What was coolest about them was that all the houses and buildings had doors, windows, shutters, that opened and every time you opened one you would put a quarter inside the opening or find one already hidden behind the closure by a family member (usually the latter). If I remember correctly, they were made to count down from Thanksgiving to Christmas, so you'd open one window a day. By the time Christmas day arrived, you'd end up with about 10 dollars in quarters.

Does anyone else remember these? Are they still made? Do they have a special name?

I remember those too! They were really cool.

I haven't seen anything specifically like that for years, but I think they would fall in the category of advent calendars. Maybe you could check at some of the Christian/Religious bookstores in your area and with any luck you can find something similar.

It is what you can do with a few old Christmas Cards and some clip art pieces, then turn it into a collage to make a Christmas Greeting Card Video ...

(UK) "Postpals" is a website where you can mail Cards (even send a gift) to children suffering from diseases. Some of these kids may not see another Christmas.

Many thanks, Kermit

I want to write something really sweet in the Christmas card I'm giving my boyfriend. We've been together for 9 months and I really want to write something that will kind of tug at his heart strings (in a good way.) I'm just looking for suggestions... thanks!

My Christmas would not be as special without you around. Thanks for making this a wonderful couple of months. You mean so much to me.

Tell us about a special card if you have one!

yes, it means i have family and friends thinking about me.
what i don't like is if they just sign there name at the bottom
of the card, without addressing the top. (dear mary, etc)
