Birthday Ideas & Advice

Sending Thanksgiving greeting cards to friends, family and business associates is a tradition almost as strong as sending Christmas holiday cards. Many businesses are sending Thanksgiving greeting cards in place of Christmas cards because fewer Thanksgiving cards are mailed so the chances of your card being noticed and placed prominently in your recipient’s office are greater with Thanksgiving cards than Christmas cards. Some businesses do not feel comfortable sending cards associated with a religious holiday, so they send Thanksgiving cards instead. This year the Canadian Thanksgiving is about six weeks earlier than the American Thanksgiving, so Canadians will be shopping for their Thanksgiving cards soon.
