If you are late as always and urgently looking for a simple tool to aid you in putting together a last minute christmas card, I advise you to take a look at Photocat now. All others can relax for the time being, but should take a long hard look at Photocat any time soon.

If you are like me, you like to send a special postcard to your loved ones now and then. Christmas is now as well as then. Since a few years I don't buy standard cards in standard shops but rely on online printing services. Day2DayPrinting.com is such a service, but one with a long history and decorated with awards. Day2Day Printing started 25 years ago and it is now, that they decided to give back to the community. They do this by offering 15 free holiday cards for a limited time.
