Remember early on in 2020 when we thought this whole pandemic thing would be over in just a few weeks? Unfortunately, coronavirus has overstayed its welcome and we\u2019ve had to adjust to a new normal. This has meant changes in how we interact with one another, which is especially evident as we\u2019re heading into the holiday season. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

While it looks like we won\u2019t be able to spend the holidays with all our loved ones, we can still celebrate the spirit of the season by sending Christmas and holiday greeting cards<\/a>. These photo cards<\/a> are a great way of staying connected with family and friends when you can\u2019t be there in person! That\u2019s why we\u2019ve been hard at work creating new card designs that your loved ones are sure to enjoy. Since this year has been so unique, we decided to create a collection of social distancing holiday cards<\/a> \u2014heartfelt with a dash of humor!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Quarantine Christmas cards<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Nothing says Christmas like cozy sweaters, mittens, stockings, and beanies. Throw in a face mask and a roll of toilet paper and you\u2019ve got yourself a COV<\/a>I<\/a>D Christmas<\/a> card. If you want to pay tribute to the king of rock n\u2019 roll, you\u2019ll love our Blue Without You<\/a> design that features sentimental song lyrics we can all relate to this year. Keeping with the Christmas song theme, we have a design that riffs on the classic Oh Christmas Tree tune \u2014 Oh Quarantine<\/a>! Since in-person hugs and kisses are out of the question this year, send a virtual kiss to loved ones with our Virtual Mistletoe<\/a> card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For designs that are a little more traditional, we also have some ideas! Spread Christmas Cheer Far and Near<\/a> with this snowflake and woodgrain design. If you\u2019d like to control the color of your card, you\u2019ll appreciate the Close At Heart<\/a> design that\u2019s available in light blue, red, blue, or green. For a charming twist on this design, check out the Close At Heart Rustic<\/a> design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the year we\u2019ve all had, it\u2019s no surprise that most people are ready to say good riddance to 2020. With this in mind, we created a few lighthearted designs that celebrate our resiliency. We Survived 2020<\/a> and We Made It To 2021<\/a> are sure to be rallying cries we\u2019ll hear as we ring in the new year. For the exhausted among us, you\u2019ll appreciate both our Is 2020 Over Yet?<\/a> and Over Yet<\/a> designs. If you have lots of photos you\u2019d like to highlight this year, you\u2019ll love the collage layout of our Hindsight 2020<\/a> card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve received your cards in the mail, now comes the fun part \u2014 signing, sealing, and sending! Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary tools on hand like pens, stamps, and your address book. If you have little ones in the house, they can help out by signing their own name or drawing a cute picture on the card or envelope. Don\u2019t worry about trying to write a novel in your card. Keeping things short and sweet is always in style. For ideas on what sentiment to sign off with, check out our recent season\u2019s greetings blog<\/a> post.
