Although one can still find traditional Christmas Cards in some stores, this was the first year that I actually made my own by printing an image on some fancy paper. The image I chose was a Medieval European etching. In the past I use to send cards as a matter of course/courtesy to people that mattered to me. However, this year, I had a much greater sense of enjoyment by sending something that I produced myself (at least in part). If I was more artistically talented, I may have created my own image. In any case, these cards meant so much more, and I think it’s something that Trads might consider doing themselves in the future if they can’t find Christmas paraphernalia that is religious or traditional. It’s a small step in culture-building.
