Warm your loved ones’ hearts this winter by sending winter ecards. Here are the top 10 greetings for all ages to show you care.
Why send winter ecards?
Did you know that between November and January there are more than 20 different religious or cultural holidays? These include the big holidays like Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, and New Year’s, as well as lesser-known holidays like St. Lucia Day or Boxing Day. However, winter is not just a six-week event. There are three full months filled with holidays, cultural days, and personal memories to be celebrated. There are cultural days like Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States, Valentine’s Day, and even the beginning of the Lenten season and Mardi Gras.
Outside of the main holidays, there are personal birthdays and anniversaries to be celebrated, or you could send a card to remember the Winter Solstice – the shortest day of the year. Sometimes it can be fun to send a card “just because” and to celebrate the broader season. Whatever your reason for sending winter cards, these tips will help you find the right words to convey a loving message.
