Two Simple Ways to Make Your Christmas Cards Special
Christmas cards are a great way to show a little love. Here are two quick ideas that will make them extra special:
1. Make them Smell Good
Place a drop or two of your favorite essential oil on a cotton ball.
Put the cotton ball and the cards into a container with a lid.
Leave to sit for a couple of days.
The cards will take on a subtle fragrance.
Some suggestions for oils:
- Lavender
- Lemon
- Sweet Orange
- Cinnamon
- Sandalwood
2. Add the Power of Prayer
Pray for each recipient as you put their cards in an envelope, address them or place on the stamp.
Your recipients may be none the wiser, but you will have talked to the Father on their behalf, and that is always a good thing!
Even better, get the children involved in praying. It will make a lasting impression on them. This can even be a new Christmas tradition!
I love #2. We do this. Prayer is a powerful thing. We try to include a picture of the family for those who do not see us often. Getting just the right shot is always fun. 🙂
Lovely ideas, Stacy!!!
I love it! Now if I would just get around to doing this! 🙂 Last year I didn’t even get cards out. :/ Might be a New Year card this year!
