Nothing weird or strange about this one. It is a rather beautiful card, too bad the picture doesn't show all the glitter on all the white sections. I received this card from M0zez and Shirl The Whirl from the UK for the Penguin's Christmas Mission...

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

[+ElliPirelli]

I got lovely cards already!

 

This one came all the way from Scotland, and the little church is to be seen through a cut out hole.

I'm very fond of squirrels, so this card was especially nice!

NOT an entry in the cointest, because so many of you have secretly sent me wee gifts lately, and I already feel gifted.

 

But because of the comment by WSR about my feeling weird about snow and Christmas mixing...

(Any Christmas snowman here would last less than an hour before being an evaporating puddle)

 

Here are a few kiwi Christmas cards....

 

 

 

And a lovely NZ Christmas Carol...

 

Carol our Christmas, an upside down Christmas;

The snow is not falling and trees are not bare.

Carol the summer, and welcome the Christ Child,

Warm in our sunshine and sweetness of air.

 

Sing of the gold and the green and the sparkle,

Water and river and lure of the beach.

Sing in the happiness of open spaces,

Sing a nativity summer can reach!

 

By our own Shirley Murray

Are you sure that's not because he's wearing the wrong colors?? I could offer some different Coin if you win...

 

Ah...What I wanted to see!! I love this one!!

Butterfly Lady, your card with the Santa and the deck chair remind me of that sweet childrens book: What does Santa Claus in July....

 

I got this one, and having 4 cats this could well be one of them....

Everyone has their cards on a string...I think I'll string mine up in the window of the Truck. That will cheer up the truckers who see it at the truckstops for the next few days!

For me, it isn't what's on the front of the Christmas card but what's inside...

 

This one is extra special to me because it was signed by all my geocaching buddies at our regular Beer n' Pizza night and sent to me down under by my friend and caching buddy PrairieSwan...

 

I didn't think I'd get too many cards this year with the big move and to be sent this was quite a surprise. I miss them all and the snow...but not the snow too much. On Sunday it was -35C in Calgary while here in Perth it was a very balmy 35C above. I'm going to take a picture of the kids making sand angels on the beach.

[+GATOULIS]

Oh!!! I have received about 13 cards already!!! I will have to wait for others to post between me, so I can show them all!!!

 

Here is the first! Cheesy pigs send it to me with a special error coin and an other that loved from the first site! Thank you my dear Liz!!! You are so sweet!!!!

[+GATOULIS]

This card came to me from Rhodes! It is from my sister's work! I am wondering why they sended me a card! Probably because I am a customer!

 

[+surteb]

 

This is the only one I've received so far that has any snow on it, but it's cute snow!

[+GATOULIS]

Here is an other one I received from a Greek friend, a coin collector! (not geocoin collector! )

 

 

According to what is says, the painting was painted with mouth or leg, from handicap artist! WOW! that amazing and really shows the strength of the soul and the heart! I do not know who made this one, but Congratulations to the artist!!!!! Examples like that are giving us lessons of life, are showing us that life is beautiful, never give up, no matter what problems we are facing!!!!

Whenever I see a single card with a dog or cat, I usually don't really take any special notice, but to see all these together...WOW, That's completely COOL!!

[+surteb]

 

No snow in this one, either. I'm starting to think there are actually a lot of cards out there that don't feature snow. I never really thought about it before.

[+DaFunkyFrogs]

Only a little snow in this one, but a very gorgeous baby!

Very Cool Christmas Card, more meaningful and stright from the Heart. Merry Christmas 007BigD and Family & a Happy New Years '09

[+DaFunkyFrogs]

We received this Christmas card from Montana, where I imagine there is more than enough snow on Christmas!

 

[+surteb]

 

This one is from a family member who is an artist. Every year she does a different drawing and sends that out as her card. My favorite part on this one is the little dog sitting on the stoop.

[+Laval K-9]

My favorite card I received this year. Our first grand-son Etienne aka K-9 Junior. Who can resist a smile like that

 

 

Happy Holidays to everyone
