Sounds of the Season Christmas Card

By Kathleen Hernandez


INTRODUCTION:

I always associate Christmas as a festive event with all the wonderful and sparkling colors with everyone spreading good tidings and happy cheer. It’s the most awaited season for me – from the preparation and to the event itself. Never mind the fatigue that goes with it for it’s all worth it, right? It’s the time to rekindle old friendships, forge new ones and gather with your own families all under one merry season that is Christmas.

Christmas songs would be played on our radio as soon as the “ber” months would arrive in our country. This is the inspiration in the creation of my Christmas card with the sentiment or card title: “Sounds of the Season”. I hope you do find the Christmas Season as wonderful. Make your own Christmas card and enjoy crafting!
