A couple of decades ago, some days before Christmas, a postman would bring some white envelopes with a piece of finely printed paper called a Christmas card, which contained wishes from people you knew and who cared about you. (Note: Did you feel weird that this phrase was written in past tense? Better accept it.)
Today, those who don’t follow this traditional way of Christmas greeting share their wishes online, via e-mail or on social media, so we thought we could lend a helping hand. Go ahead and share these pics to spread that Christmas spirit all around.

That’s a beautiful Christmas image with red ornaments on a white table, which is great to share with a friend, man or woman, who is going to appreciate the good taste in it.

What is original about this image of a Christmas sweater is its intention to appeal both to someone who might not be so much into the Holiday spirit and to others that could be absolutely crazy about it. Share it with someone as a warm Christmas greeting and rest assured it’s a winner.
This classic Christmas-themed image with its ornaments on the foreground and its clear Holiday greeting will be a standard for the Season.

This image looks exactly like an old-style Christmas Card, which is something which adds to its appeal. Feel free to share it with anyone, but especially friends or family that are coming back home for Christmas.
Here’s a very original Merry Christmas image that depicts an elf and a piglet trying to find their way out of a forest while standing next to their (or Santa’s?) sleigh full of gifts and bunnies.

We absolutely love this pic: although not typically Christmassy, it combines several elements that feel like winter – season associated with Christmas in the northern hemisphere. The stylish armchair, cushion, tea pot and some books on the floor compose an image that actually shows what some people want for Christmas: a good rest.
This illustration of a mistletoe wreath with a Christmas greeting under it, all on a blue background with falling snowflakes is ideal if you’d like to share a wish with literally anyone, from the most traditional ones to those seeking something more modern.

Another beautiful Christmas wreath with a joyful message written in it makes a lovely image to share with family and friends longing for festivities.
This Christmas pic has a velvety texture and joyful message on it. Since the message is so out-of-the-box for Christmas, you can share this image with young friends and family members who might not be so into Christmas anyway. Problem solved, greeting sent!

This one is really beautiful, with the deer looking up in the sky and the forest background painted with water colors. Share it with family members who are going to appreciate a classic scene – almost out of a Disney movie.
There couldn’t be a pic to share this Holiday season without a cute Santa. Since we love background with textures that look 3D-like, he stands out on this rather neutral background with snow falling, Merry Christmas indeed!
