Tis the Season - Christmas Cards!

(Happy Hanukkah to my readers who celebrate it!)

Christmas is coming and holiday cards are beginning to show up in my mailbox. I love to get Christmas cards in the mail - they are tangible and can be read over and over, and they make festive holiday decorations, too. 

I am very partial to ones that depict the Nativity (especially if a donkey is in them)

or to those that have a horsey theme. Add some sleigh bells, and I am a happy gal.

Not all cards have an overt seasonal theme. Some are more subtle,

like this card that simply has a mare and foal in the snow.

Sometimes the holiday cards I receive are horsey stationery with a handwritten holiday message inside from the sender.

Postcards work well, too, like this one that I received last year from a long-time friend.

Its flip side was a piece of Chinese art.

This year I will be sharing some of the holiday cards I have received, from the past as well as from this year. My goal is to share one a day until Christmas, adding some daily Christmas spirit to the blog. Stay 'tooned!
