Charity Christmas cards benefit not only the receiver but when portions of the funds go to the Charity there is obviously further benefit.

Christmas is a time when people reflect on all of the special friends and family members in their lives and a time to let them know they are thinking of them by sending them a Christmas card.

Many families have a tradition of exchanging cards that only support charities and instead of purchasing generic Christmas cards they opt for personalised or even humorous Christmas cards. When you purchase from an online supplier make sure that you have the facility to allow you to give back to charities. Sending a Christmas card that supports a charity is a perfect way to support causes you care about this Christmas.

Businesses also make great use of this service in that they can give back. A charity Christmas card can be used as a means of advising what charity the funds will go to as well as spreading Christmas cheer to your valued business associates, employees or suppliers. The actual sending or receiving of the cards can also help spread the word and awareness of the charity itself. Make sure that if you are ordering your business Christmas cards online that the company you purchase from is supporting a charity with a portion of the card costs at the same time.

As a business if you follow this format of giving to charities when designing your business cards you will find that your card recipients respect the fact that you have included charity benefits in the process of your Christmas cards. Not only that but that you have taken the time to include them in your thanks for being in business with you in whatever way over the last year but also that you have included them in offering your best wishes at Christmas. Whatever the position of the recipients to your business the receiving of a Christmas card from you will help in your promotional efforts as they will remember from whom they have received cards.

So when it comes time for you to choose your Christmas cards take into account the possibility to give something back to a charity organisationand ensure that whoever you are purchasing your Christmas cards from are giving back to charity organisations.

Every year during Christmas we decorate our Christmas tree with ornaments that we buy from store also with some really special ones that we make at home. The home made ornaments are basically made of our children’s photographs and brings back the lost memories each time we look at them. This not only makes our Christmas tree unique but gives it a personal touch and a door way to the lost happy days.

If you would like to decorate your Christmas tree with photograph ornaments like we do here are some easy craft idea that you may pick up. The first holiday craft idea about the Christmas tree can even be done by a preschooler so you do not need to worry whether you have the necessary skill to pull it off.

Take a 1/8 inch green sponge board and cut a three inch tree template. Now all you need to do is decorate this green tree ornament. You can make some brightly colored dots, even better if you allow your preschooler child to help you out. Once you are done coloring, cut a 1/2 inch hole towards the bottom of this green tree. Once done simply tape your photo or your children’s photo on the back of the tree so that it shows through the hole. You can add a red curling ribbon loop to the top of the tree to make it more attractive.

One of my favorite Homemade Christmas ornaments that are made from photo are the felt bells that my son made me during his first year in Mother’s Day Out. His teacher skillfully cut a blue felt in the shame of a bell about three inches tall. A smaller while bell was also cut but this one has a small hole in the middle for the photo. The photo is attached to this while felt so as it shows through the hole. Once this is done you simply need to glue the white bell on top of the blue one. This will give the white bell a blue border all around. You can use a glitter glue pen to outline the edges of the white felt. Remember to punch a hole in the top of the bell and thread a blue ribbon to make a loop to hang the bell. Once this is done to complete the bell you will need to cut and blue a blue poster the same size and shape as the blue bell. Gluing it to the bell will actually stiffen the ornament. You can also attach a small jingle bell to the bottom of the ornament. The one my son had contained his name and year on the back, you can write yours.
