The tradition of sending greeting cards dates to the 1700’s.  An excellent opportunity to stay connected with those you don’t see often enough, greeting cards also offer a thoughtful way to let others know you value them as friends, customers and business associates.

When selecting which card to send, it is important to remember that not everyone celebrates the holidays in the same way.  There very real differences that should be considered during the season as an inappropriate greeting card, though sent under the best of intentions, can actually do more harm than good, especially in a business relationship.  Here are some points of greeting card etiquette to consider.

 

Christmas Cards are perfect for friends and family when you know their religious affiliation and feel comfortable sending a greeting with a clear Christian message.  Images depicting the Madonna and child or designs and sentiments that speak to Christian beliefs are lovely and clearly send a message that speaks to the birth of Christ.  These recipients are certain to appreciate warm Christmas cards and religious greetings more than the generic “Season’s Greetings.”  If you are at all unsure about an affiliation, consider a greeting less focused on the religious meaning of Christmas.

Holiday Cards are more non-denominational and come with sentiments such as “Season’s Greetings” or “Happy Holidays” that can be enjoyed by all.  Particularly in a business environment, it is much more acceptable to send a heartfelt wish for the season in holiday cards designed to acknowledge the season more so than a special event.

For example, Jehovah’s Witnesses do not celebrate any holidays while Kwanzaa is celebrated from December 26 to January 1 by many African-Americans.  Muslims celebrate two feast holidays during November and December and Hindus celebrate Diwali during the winter months of October or November.

Holiday cards recognize all celebrations during the season without offending anyone’s cultural or religious differences.  This is especially significant in the world of international business where you will also want to consider the holiday schedules of your business partners as many take extended time off.  A greeting card sent before their offices close for the holidays would be enjoyed and would set your card apart from those cards that stack up awaiting their return.

 

Thanksgiving Cards have become new alternatives to the seasonal holiday or Christmas greeting card.  Enjoyed by all Americans, they can be a nice surprise, arriving in advance of the traditional holiday cards.  Thanksgiving cards will also remain on display far longer.

No matter which greeting card you send, remember to make it of high quality and take the time to sign it in your own handwriting, even if they are personalized.  Your thoughtful gesture is certain to be returned in customer loyalty, strengthening business partnerships and connections with friends and family.

d person. Ensure that the card has been received; it should be checked with the recipient.

3. These are gift cards that are available for orders from the U.S. and are in U.S funds.

4. Though access is allowed for current catalogs, they cannot be mailed.

This is the third option; you can make your own Christmas card taking inspiration from bass fishing to make it a memorable one. Anyway, the thought is more important than the amount!

A simple self made Christmas card is special, but how much was it motivated by bass fishing? Isn’t it peculiar? But very easy though!

This is what is required:

A piece of card 17cm x 25cm

A piece of crepe or tissue paper a little smaller than the card

Several colored paper pieces, that are recycled or with an interesting texture

A metallic cord or braid, or a colored ribbon inspire

A scale or ruler

Glue

A pair of scissors

Pinking shears

Also remember to carry snaps of the bass fishes (ensure that it is scanned)

The easiest way to do this is:

1. The card should be folded in half carefully.

2. A very small quantity of glue to paste the tissue as a lining inside the card.

3. A colored piece of paper is trimmed using pinking shears , such that has dimensions 13cm x 8cm.Paste it on the front part of the card after leaving equal margins on either sides.

4. A simple shape of a Christmas tree, bells, stars etc., is cut from a paper of contrasting & interesting colour. This is glued to the front part of the card.

5. Once this is done, the scanned picture is edited. Paint Shop Pro is used for this.

And here it is, just by using your imagination; you can make a beautiful Christmas card for all those bass fishing lovers!

All summer long I went to festivals and other outdoor activities. In October I went to a hunted house. In November I went to see the Rockettes. In December I went on a Christmas shopping trip to Great Lakes Crossing. In February I plan to go to a Piston game. What can I do this month? I have run out of ideas. There seems to be a shortage of things to do around here during the winter months. Please help.

Are you kidding? The options are endless all year round!

You can go to:
- the Auto Show
- the Zoo (it's good in ALL weather conditions, even below freezing)
- the DIA
- the Fox or somewhere like that to see a show
- the Detroit Science Center
- Cranbrook Science Center and/or wander the publicly accessed grounds
- Boyne Mountain
- Frankenmuth (downtown and Bronners)
- Lansing or Ann Arbor or somewhere else out of the area

That's just a few ideas. There are many more.
