Snail mail.

I love getting the mail each day. It's not a long walk for me to the mailbox, considering the postman drops my mail into a slot that drops the mail into my living room, but every day I get antsy when I hear the mail drop, hoping there's something fun in there instead of just bills and credit card offers. Getting the mail is about to get a lot more interesting as we are approaching the holidays ... I love love love getting and receiving Christmas cards!! It's so fun to hear how everyone is doing, getting updates on their lives, and most importantly seeing the cute Christmas card they send.

I have been itching to send out birth announcements for the little guy, but instead I'm going to try and refrain and wait until Christmas when I do a joint birth announcement and Christmas card combined. Considering almost everyone I'd send a birth announcement to is either on Facebook or reads my blog, I think everyone knows about Cohen's birth anyway. :)

But, that doesn't stop me from looking at and dreaming about which Christmas card I'll choose. Here's a few I've been crushing on, compliments of Shutterfly.com ...

Love the "traditional" side of this one (the red and green colors) and wrapped in a chocolate color? Yes ma'am! Love it.

I love this one, because of the non-traditional colors, and the spin on the traditional letter that you get. It's quick and easy to read, instead of being long and way too over-detailed, like some letters you receive.

I love the formality of this one, the fonts, and the overall layout. Love!

I mean, really? What's not to love about this one? It's cute and fun.

Again, love the formality of this one and the simplicity of it. It's classy and pretty.
