send minted.com christmas cards :: review and $75 giveaway
Christmas is my favorite holiday. The first thing I do to prepare for festivities is make a plan for card. Then I look forward to addressing them because it’s typically the first time I listen to Christmas music. (I say typically because there was one year I wanted a “snow” picture – I live in…
