Festive cheer on the cards as the holidays approach

Locally made Christmas cards with the personal touch are more important than ever, writes Lindsay Woods

In what has been a tumultuous year for many, how we communicate — and indeed, words — have become a precious and cherished commodity. In the absence of physical contact with our family and friends, we have relied upon our dialogue and conversation — be it virtually or via phone.

With the impending festive season upon us, our thoughts turn to those who we have missed these last few months and who we may have to miss for a little while longer. In light of this, there has been a resurgence of sorts in the tradition of Christmas card sending; with many creatives and designers who I have spoken with already reporting a notable uptake in sales compared to previous years.
