The Seaward

Confession time - around October first, I start thinking about the C-Word. Yes, Christmas. Christmas before even Halloween or Thanksgiving. And my favorite part of Christmas? Sending Christmas cards.  I mail them out on December first, but usually I have them stamped and filled out by Thanksgiving.

Without further ado, here are some Christmas cards I am considering this year. You can click on the picture to go to the Etsy seller's site.

This card would stand out, even with the subdued colors, plus I am a serious fan of blue and white as Christmas colors.

It's no secret I loooooooove vintage paper crafts. But it is often SO HARD to find vintage cards that aren't girlie as hell. Eric rarely gives me limitations on decorations and the like, but his only request has been "For the love of God, if it need a doily or is frou-frou please do not bring it into this house." So this card might just be perfect.

More simple retro cards. I like the almost mod look of these.

The only thing I do not like about these is the snowman. It just stands out. Otherwise it is classy pretty chic. I wonder if I could get her to put a monogram in the center? If so, then the search would be over.

This is simple-chic to me. Full disclosure - I send out about 40 Christmas cards. I receive back anywhere from 4 to 7. Soooooo...sometimes I get generic cards and send them to people I know I never see and will never send me one back. Childhood friends parents...boss...that kind of thing. These would be perfect for that.

Again, if you lost the flower, these would be perfect. Plus I like the fact that she obviously is not a photographer. Every other person looks like they have some super awesome high resolution Kodak camera. She obviously has a Cannon Sureshot or something, which, and I know this is strange, makes her my kind of person.

I AM A SUCKER FOR ART DECO. Ever since I read The Great Gatsby, I have been obsessed with Art Deco. It's pretty much why I fell in love with my engagement ring.

The only problem with this is how do you mail them with the bells on them? Would you have to mail them in those little boxes? That would kill me on postage. Otherwise though, they're darling.

Wait. *blinks* Wasn't this my header one month? Woah.

And finally, for your less desirable relatives...

Ooooooh yeah. If those don't scream me, I don't know what does!
