Chanukah begins at sundown on December 20th, and so that means there’s plenty of time to get cards made, ordered and delivered — still giving you plenty of time to address, send and have your greetings arrive early even! If you’ve thought about making calendars for the special people in your life, we also have Chanukah backgrounds which can be found in the Year In Review theme within our Monthly Celebration category.

So, why not get a jump start on some holiday card and gift making and lower your stress level when it comes to crunch time.
Holiday cards - easy
Photo Cards are fast and easy to make, bring a smile to the recipient’s face and aren’t just for the December holidays. Make Halloween party invitations, Thanksgiving family greetings and New Year’s wishes too.
If you’re going to make holiday cards, think about when you’ll want them to arrive at your family and friends homes, how long it’ll take you to address them and then order them 10 days before that. Have in mind the pictures you want to use – or still need to take and decide the background you want to use. Once you have the picture and background selected, you can make a beautiful card in about 10 minutes.
Photos organized by holiday
Photo calendars make a great gift. They arrive right at the end of the year and will bring smiles to Grandma’s and Great Aunt Dawn’s face each month. If you’re planning to make a calendar whose images matches celebrations that typically occur in certain months, like Halloween for October, make the process of laying out a calendar easier by putting photos in buckets such as holidays, birthdays and other events like family reunion, vacation and playing in the snow. This type of categorization will allow you to apply pictures to the appropriate month. Other calendar themes could be a year of family fun time, baby’s first year, wedding and so on.
Layout for October
Get creative and have fun. Like cards, remember to order early to allow for you gift wrap and deliver to the recipient – beat the rush, don’t get caught in weather delays and keep your holiday stress down.
