I’m Kristen. Welcome to All In My Twenties, my place to pour my little heart out on the daily!! This is the world just as I see it. Why dont you kick up your feet and stay awhile?!
Happy Monday!
We spent the weekend in Dallas celebrating our friend's birthday and Christopher's company Christmas party.
We spent the weekend in Dallas celebrating our friend's birthday and Christopher's company Christmas party.
Both were a hit!
Hope your weekend was equally as entertaining.
Last week I received our Christmas cards in the mail and immediately my heart smiled!
I LOVE CHRISTMAS CARDS.
I LOVE CHRISTMAS CARDS.
Absolutely EVERYTHING about them!
I love that they are "good mail" aka NOT bills.
I love that most are personalized these days.
And most of all I love that they send love and joy to our closest friends and family.
Well over Thanksgiving I was telling someone that I was super excited to receive my Christmas cards so I could send them out and they informed me that Christmas cards are dying tradition.
Immediately my heart cried a little.
Even though I hate it, I definitely think they are right.
People just dont send Christmas cards the way they use to and I think its so sad.
I can remember being a little girl and checking my mail with my mom and finding a couple cards every day. We would tape them to this mantle over our bar and look at them throughout the season. There were tons by Christmas day.
As the years have passed the number was shrunk drastically.
I want to save this tradition!
Its SO amazing and spreads love and joy and absolutely should be saved.
So go buy Christmas cards and send them to the ones you love!
I promise it will bring a smile to your faces!!
Here's our card this year!!
Hope you love it!
On MONDAY DECEMBER 17th, I will be posting a link up on this blog for you to share your christmas cards here!! So come back and link up!!
Im super excited to see everyones!!
Have a wonderful day! Its December and Christmas is HERE!!!
AW I LOVE YOUR PUPS ON THE BACK!!

ReplyDeletei love Christmas cards and getting "real" mail ... so cute! so fun to look back on over the years, too. cannot waiiiiiiiiiit to unveil ours .... took some propping up of an old window, a tripod and sweating by the fire.
ReplyDeleteLove your card!! I've been checking my mail every night hoping for Christmas cards. My husband keeps teasing me that not everyone had their cards out in the mail on November 30th like me. I'm a dork!
ReplyDeleteso fun! love this, can't wait to linkup and share ours (after I make it, haha)
ReplyDeleteI am looooving your cards!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your card! So cute, and I agree it's a dying tradition that needs to be restored. XO~Brett
ReplyDeleteI do think that WAY less people send Christmas cards than used to but around here, especially people my age, people are big on the photo Christmas cards like the one you posted. We even sent one like that out last year.
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmas card! So cute!! It seems like my group of friends/family LOVE sending cards, so I get a lot, but I totally agree! We ALWAYS send one out! :)
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE sending and receiving Christmas cards! How it could be a dying tradition I'm not sure, but I love them!
ReplyDeleteAwe I hate to know this is a dying tradition! My mom hand makes her cards every year! She's a scrapbook queen! I, on the other hand always use a family photo of some kind! I can't wait to link up!
ReplyDeleteI love the card you both have chosen. Too cute & I think the little outfits make it ten times better & great for a good little fun laugh :)
ReplyDeleteoh no!!!! i hope it's not dying. i love getting all the holiday cards with everyone's picture on them. we tape them up in the doorway between our living room and kitchen and everytime i walk through, i smile at the little arch of love and happiness i get to walk under. you r card is TOO cute. i love the bright, cheery, happy colors. i always have such a hard time picking my favorite design....i think we got a good one this year too. can;t wait to link up!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your Christmas card!!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is TOTALLY a dying tradition. Who needs Christmas cards when you have facebook, twitter, blogging, and instagram? Sad but true. Oh well, I love em anyways!

Love your cards! and for the record, I hope they never die out! I adore Christmas cards!
ReplyDeleteLove the cards! I still send them out every year. I actually look forward to it! I can't wait for the link up!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love Christmas cards and hope they're not a dying tradition! I'll be participating in your link up -- great idea!
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the same thing!! So sad, I love getting Christmas cards!! Especially with how creative people are getting with them. So much fun
ReplyDeleteI ADORE Christmas cards as well!!! I am so excited about your link-up that I may or may not have already scheduled my post... :)
ReplyDeleteWe still do cards and this year I wanted to do it super old fashioned.. No photo cards for us this year I bought regular cards hand wrote in each of them stuck a photo of the boys inside and sent them out! It was fun to actually write something inside, although next year I might go the photo card route again :)
ReplyDeleteYour cards are adorable! And I hate that the cards are a dying tradition. I love getting them and sending them. We have snowflake lights that hang with garland over the big window in our living room and I add the cards to that garland as they come in the mail. It's so nice seeing all those cheery faces with the Christmas decor.
ReplyDeleteI loooove Christmas cards! As far as I'm concerned that tradition isn't dieing. At least not with this girl... :)
ReplyDeleteThese are too cute!!! I'd never get my boyf to agree to these. Would I look like the crazy animal lady if I just sent out cards with me and my pup&cat?

I was just telling my boyfriend that we needed to start sending out Christmas cards! I love them, and definitely do not want them to be a dying tradition :(
ReplyDeleteLOVE LOVE LOVE Christmas cards. We've done them for the past 5 years, and I don't see any reason to stop now :)
ReplyDeletePS- You all look adorable in your cute card!
I LOVE sending/getting Christmas cards! I have done it since CJ and I moved in together. I have yet to do photo cards, but I write lengthy personal messages in all the cards I send [usually 60-75] We won't let it be a dying tradition. Love your card :) Xo
ReplyDeleteI definitely don't think they are a dying tradition!! I actually think they are making a HUGE comeback, since you can add pictures and whatnot. They better not go out of style, I can't wait til me and my fiance actually get our act together and get some sent out!!
ReplyDeleteCute card! I just love Christmas cards with snowflakes, I pick one every year!
ReplyDelete=)Brooke

ReplyDeleteYour Christmas card is adorable!!! I love Christmas Cards, but think it's a dying tradition as well and it makes me SO SO sad! :-( I would love to link up but I will be on a cruise ... I may schedule my post and hope I can get someone to link it up for me!!!
