cool christmas card enclosures

For the past number of years I’ve made it a tradition to put a little something extra in my Christmas cards.  Sometimes it was a handmade ornament packaged in a bright metallic bubblelope, or a mixed cd full of our favorite holiday tunes.  Regardless, it made my heart smile to know the recipients would get an extra grin when they opened their mail that day.

A couple of years ago, our family got these silly specs that made their tree lights psychedelic!

Last year the various characters from the Peanuts greeted our friends with some hot cocoa.

This year I’m including a couple sheets of flying wish paper, a wish platform and instructions on how to make them come true! 

Have you ever received seasonal surprises in the mail or sent something extra special in your cards?  I love hearing about fun ways to brighten someone’s day.
