The 2011 Christmas card

Date: Friday November 25, 2011
Posted in: giveaways, reviews

I was contacted by Moo.com to see if I wanted to sample their Christmas cards and review them. DO I? Of course I do. We send out Christmas cards and letters every year. Getting the cards for free is awesome, and I’ve purchased from Moo before and it was awesome, so this was something easy to say yes to.

I haven’t received my cards yet, because the USPS and Canada Post are like oil and water, but here is the photo I used on the front:

The family

Here is the photo that I used on the back:
On the trampoline

I would wait to show you the actual card, but the USPS is telling me that I won’t receive my cards until mid-December. Moo.com has asked me to give away 3 sets of 25 cards to you guys (Three sets! Three chances to win!) and waiting until mid-December is a little late for ordering.

So here we are. My cards are en route and probably in Fargo or some other random US city, but I can give three (THREE) of you a set of 25 Christmas cards.

Here are a few of their card styles:

christmascards1-1

christmas-cards-2-1

To enter, just leave a comment telling me if you send Christmas (or holiday) cards or not.

I’ll draw the winners this coming Friday, December 2nd, 2011.

We have our three winners!

[...] I’m giving away three sets of Christmas/Holiday cards over on my review site. THREE sets! Your odds are good, is what I’m saying. [...]

I send out Christmas cards, but each year it seems to be less than the previous year.

I always mean to send out christmas cards but never actually do….

Comment by annabelvita on November 25th, 2011 @ 5:18 pm

yes!

I send Xmas cards. I’ve done a letter for the past couple years but can’t bring myself to do one this year.

Oh. Me please!!!

Comment by Danica on November 25th, 2011 @ 5:46 pm

Oh, and yes. I do.

Comment by Danica on November 25th, 2011 @ 5:46 pm

Yes- we do send out cards. I love it when our family photo/card makes it on to the fridge!

I love MOO! Each time I returned to work after maternity leave, I got a set of their Mini cards with my baby’s first year of life (as seen on Flickr) when I went back to work. I taped the cards together into a big grid and hung them on the wall in my office. I’ve been looking at MOO cards every day since April 2007! I’d love to win a set of their cards, as we do sent out holiday cards (in fact, I’d better get started with that soon, I guess…). Thanks for the giveaway!

This is the first year I’m out on my own in a new house, and so a Christmas card might come from me and not from my mother. I’ve never sent one before, obviously, but I totally want to. Would it spoil the effect of getting a card in the mailbox if I have to message my friends on Facebook to get their mailing addresses?

Yes we do!! What an awesome giveaway!!!

Comment by Charmedone17 on November 25th, 2011 @ 9:00 pm

I send them out every other year, in part because I’m boring and lazy. I can’t remember if I sent them out last year or not – I think I must have because I don’t have any extra ones anywhere.

BKC – the only way to spoil the effect of getting real! mail! is to include a bill with it.

Yes, I send out Christmas cards. I don’t include a letter or anything, but I have a ton of people that I like to send cards out to. Sometimes they turn out to be more like “Happy New Year” cards by the time I get around to addressing them and actually taking them to a post office to get stamps, but they’re sent eventually! :D

I attempt to send cards. Occasionally I succeed! Most of the time I don’t. My parents are the only ones who got a card last year, I printed it at home. Go me!

Comment by Heather on November 26th, 2011 @ 8:00 am

Every year we send cards, probably over fifty! It takes time but it’s fun to think about each person/family as we prepare them.

Comment by Carla on November 26th, 2011 @ 8:48 am

We send Christmas cards but last December we had a baby and things got too busy so they ended up being Easter cards instead!!

Comment by karen on November 26th, 2011 @ 10:13 am

Yes, I send them every year :)

Comment by Tamara on November 26th, 2011 @ 7:41 pm

Ya know, this would be a really good year to win Christmas cards. Thank you for a chance to win!

ps. Is this open to us Yanks?

Comment by monstergirlee on November 26th, 2011 @ 10:31 pm

We usually do. I’ve already got my photo, too – a SAJ illustration! I’m quite stoked. :)

Comment by Mrs. Wilson on November 27th, 2011 @ 7:28 am

I love sending cards. I used to make them all by hand but now I only do that for a small group. I was JUST looking on line for where to order cards when I saw this!

Comment by sizzle on November 27th, 2011 @ 9:39 am

This year will be the first since we’ve had kids that I’m sending out Christmas cards.

Comment by Amanda Brown on November 27th, 2011 @ 10:00 pm

I like to, but rarely remember to actually get them in the mail.

When we moved I found a suitcase that I’d packed with wrapping paper and ribbon that had my Christmas cards in them. It explained why I couldn’t find them when I wanted to mail them out.

Comment by cc on November 27th, 2011 @ 10:41 pm

I love doing Christmas cards. Pick me! Pick me!

Comment by Melanie on November 28th, 2011 @ 9:42 am

I’ve sent Christmas cards a few times. Still trying to figure out how to do a pic as a single lady without it looking completely retarded. :)
