The Year for Christmas Cards?

B and I have been living together for 2+ years.  Each year around Thanksgiving, I always ask, "Should we send a holiday card?".  And each year the response is the same, "No, only once we're married."

Truthfully, I suck at cards of all kinds - thank you notes, birthday cards, holiday cards.  I'm just not a card person, I guess.  So I have never really fought the whole Christmas Card issue.  I'm sure I would have gotten them out the day before Christmas even if B did agree to sending them.  And secretly I'm too cheap too.  That money could go towards clothes :)

But this year...we're engaged, we've got the two cutest dogs on the planets, and I'm kind of in the "holiday mood".   Is it weird to send a holiday card before we're married?

If I had all the time in the world, I'd make holiday cards.  I love craft projects..baking..sewing..anything that involves making.  Unfortunately I don't have a lot of extra time, so over the years I've done less and less of things that involve "making". 

Enter...Shutterfly.

They've actually got some cute cards (which you can find, here):

For some reason, I love the cards with the retro touches the best.  They just seem FUN.

Who knows, maybe we'll get our act together and actually get cards out.   Everyone else seems to do it :)

(PS - yes, shameless plug for their xmas card blogger contest, which you can enter here.  but they really DO have cute cards...seriously, I looked at them ALL).
