12 Unique Christmas Cards for Your Year’s Most Memorable Moments

A unique Christmas card surrounded by pink ribbon and ornaments

There is no month that comes more quickly than December.

When January hits our calendar, we’re hit with plans — plans for trips, for goals, for milestones. We make lists of New Year’s resolutions and dream of new jobs, vacations, or moving into our first place. And as the weather gets warmer then colder again, suddenly it’s the twelfth month of the year and we’re wondering where the last eleven went.

Hopefully, they went something like this: You made new friends, you closed a few business deals, you started a project you’re proud of. You watched movies on your Friday nights in and tried new bars and restaurants on your nights out. You wrote emails and Instagram captions, screenshotted a few memes, and overall spent the year with the random, wonderful people in your life doing the most random, wonderful things.

It’s fitting that we send cards at Christmastime — that time, of course, that just happens to fall at the end of the year. It’s an opportunity to show gratitude toward those who spent the last year with us, acknowledging the highlights, opportunities, and favorite moments.

And if there’s a particular memory that stands out, there’s surely a unique card to match it. Below we’re sharing twelve of the most unique holiday cards on Greenvelope, perfectly matched to the most cherished memories of your year.
