Signs of Christmas

You know that Christmas is near when the cards start coming through the door. I love opening Christmas cards because it makes me feel that the festivities are near at hand. Another thing that most of us enjoy with Christmas cards is finding out who they are from. This is the time of year when people will send cards to all those that they may not see from one year's end to the next. This sort of rememberance is one of the signs of Christmas, a sign that always makes people feel better.

When people are sick or ill then they appreciate a card at any time but at this time of year it is a good idea to send those people a special card to let them know that you are thinking of them. Even if you don't know somebody who is ill many people will make a point of buying cards where the manufacturer/retailer donates a portion of that revenue to a charity or cancer research facility. If you look online you will find www.astonishingcards.com, who are making a point of advertising their cards to get more money for cancer research. If you are reading this blog then why not take a look at the website and if you still need to buy Christmas cards order some from there.

Writing and Christmas

Writing Time

If you write for a living then holidays do not always happen in the same way for you, partly because you have deadlines to meet and partly because for most writers, writing is their passion. This can result in other people viewing you as a bit of a scrooge and a spoilsport.

Christmas

The fact of the matter is that writing and Christmas don't go well together. Traditionally Christmas is a time for socializing and being with friends and family. No matter how much you love your writing you should try to negotiate deadlines and your own desire to write to allow for quality time with your loved ones. Writing and Christmas are not mutually exclusive but sometimes it is good to take a break.

Card Power

Not had time to pay the gas bill yet? How about paying for your utilities online? The rise of the internet and online buying has meant that more people than ever are using some sort of credit card. Even our utilities can be paid for with utility specific cards like Gas Credit Cards. Getting the right sort of card for your needs involves comparing what different companies have to offer, the traditional Visa or Master card is not always the answer.

If you want to get a clearer picture of what is available and the different rates that card suppliers offer, it is well worth taking the time to look at credit card comparison sites. Some of these are better than others as not all of them offer quite the same variety of cards as others. Busy housewives, students and business owners can benefit from having cards that are directed at a specific area such as untility payments. You can get low interest and reward cards and cards are also available to those with a bad credit history.
