It Is NOT Time For Christmas Yet

...but it is time to start thinking about Christmas (or whatever holiday you celebrate) cards!

I still get almost as excited about Christmas as I did when I was in elementary school, but I'll be the first person to admit that going to stores to buy discounted day-after-Halloween candy and seeing rows upon rows of Christmas trees is not only a bit much--it's downright inappropriate. I mean, how is Thanksgiving supposed to feel?

What is totally and completely appropriate at this point in the year, though, is Christmas card shopping. In fact, with only 46 days until Christmas, it's high time to get cracking. If you're like me, you've become super impressed by your friends' and family's customized christmas cards, and this year, you're ready to make the change. Well, here comes some good news.

Shutterfly has all kinds of unique Christmas cards that wow even the most difficult-to-impress design snobs (...I should know!). What I like most of all is that it's so easy to order from them. Their website guides you through the entire process, step by step, until you have created your very own masterpiece of Christmas joy. The hardest part is picking your favorite design. Here are a few of mine (all images from this point on are from Shutterfly's website)...




My personal favorite (I think...for now, anyway) is this story card:

More informative than a traditional card, story cards give you a chance to fill your loved ones in on details they may have missed or to recap the year as you celebrate the holidays. What a great idea! 

Oh, the choices! But don't just think of Shutterfly for Christmas. They have great gift items like calendars and photo books that would make perfect Christmas presents--or anytime presents--for just about anyone on your list. 

Something else really cool? Bloggers who write about Shutterfly's 2010 holiday collection can receive a voucher for 50 free cards! To get in on this deal, simply click here and follow the directions. Couldn't be any easier, especially since I was probably going to blog about this anyway.
