I often find myself at a loss for words when it comes to writing my Christmas cards. I want them to be unique, festive, creative and personal. Yet it is not easy to come up with just the right sayings without sounding to cliche or to ordinary.

This year I decided to research the web to come up with some ideas for my holiday cards. Although the ideas I found were not my own, they were very helpful and inspired me to write my own holiday card for my friends, family and clients.

The web sites that I found most useful are listed below. If you are anything like me and waited until the last minute to come up with a personal holiday card, I am sure you will find these holiday web sites very useful.
