December 2015 Desktop Background & Letter from our Editor

November 30, 2015 by bluemountainecards

12022015_Desktop_BMA_1280x800

It’s the most wonderful time of the year!  Flannel shirts, snowy walks, fireside talks and family gatherings.  Party planning, decorating and shopping can also make this a very busy, hectic time for some of us.  But the real gifts of Christmas have a way of reminding us of the things that matter most—the gift of love and the special way it shapes our lives, the gift of sharing and the closeness it creates, and the gift of family and friends and how much they mean to us.  The spirit of the holidays is not found under a tree, it is found in our hearts.

At Blue Mountain this year, we’ve created a dazzling array of Christmas cards for you to express what’s in your heart.  Inspired by Charles Dickens’ description of London,  “A Merry Christmas” embodies all the beauty and magic of a Victorian Christmas.  As we follow the gas lamplighter down the street, we see shoppers and street musicians and children playing.  In the closing scene, we hear a hauntingly beautiful rendition of “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen.”  On the lighter side, we have the Can-Can Candy Canes, Your Christmas Cod and A Holiday Barbershop Quartet.  Our spiritual card, “Christmas Glory” depicts a lovely country church in a snowy woodland setting and features the refrain from “Angels We Have Heard on High,” along with the story of its origins.  In “Holiday Hearts” we celebrate the warmth and coziness of the winter season.

We also have a brand new, beautifully Christmas-inspired desktop background for your computer, phone, and even your Facebook cover image.

How to Write Letters From Santa

December 9, 2014 by bluemountainecards

Now that your little ones have stickered, licked, and stamped their letters to Santa, they wait in eager anticipation, dreaming of how fun and magical it would be to get a letter from Santa Claus himself! Here’s how you can bring that magic to life.

12092014_letters_from_santa_BLG_BMA

Start off with one of our newly-designed, festive Santa Letters that you can print from the comfort of your home. Then try some of these helpful tips to do that jolly old elf proud:

Begin by thanking the child for their letter and add a comment or two about their writing skills or drawings.

Follow-up with their inquiries about Mrs. Claus and all the elves.
Say fun things like how busy Mrs. Claus has been trying a new cookie recipe this year which you find quite delicious, and how the elves just brought all the reindeer back from flying practice and they’re taking them to the barn to feed them lunch.

Acknowledge what the child said in their letter about being naughty or nice.
Tell them how wonderful you think it is that they helped Mommy dry the dishes or feed the cat, etc. If they had admitted they did something bad, add a positive thought like you see them working very hard not to do that again and what a sign of good character that is. You could then mention a recent accomplishment the child had, like getting a good grade in school, or learning to tie their shoe or play a new instrument.

If the child thanked Santa for any toys he brought them last year, be sure to mention that you’re happy they enjoyed them and you think they’ll be very glad with the surprises you plan to bring them Christmas Eve.

Before closing your letter, add that you’re looking forward to stopping at their house on Christmas Eve, and that you always enjoy the milk and cookies that are left out.

To close your letter, you can say that you need to get back to checking your list and preparing the sleigh for your big ride. Tell them to be good and that you’re watching over them and sign your letter, “Love, Santa.”

For some added fun, use an old-style font that you think are letters from Santa himself. This gives your letter a more authentic touch. When your letter finally arrives, enjoy the squeals of delight, and revel in the magic that lives on in the hearts of children everywhere.

How to Write Letters to Santa

December 4, 2014 by bluemountainecards

There’s magic in the air, which may have something to do with the thousands upon thousands of sugar-plum wishes riding on the north wind to find their way into the loving hands of Santa Claus.

No doubt your children and grandchildren are busy telling you all about the latest toy they just “have” to have, and so there’s no better time than now to sit them down and have them write their letters to Santa.

To begin,  choose one of our newly-designed, FREE Letters to Santa that you can print from the comfort of your own home. Then follow these helpful tips for a letter that is sure make that jolly old elf’s eyes twinkle.

12042014_Letter_to_santa_BLG_BMA

  1. Be North Pole Polite. Begin with “Dear Santa” and ask how he, Mrs. Claus, and all the elves are doing. Then have your child tell Santa their name and how old they are.
  1. Naughty or Nice? Before diving headfirst into that long list of toys, have them tell Santa the ways in which they were good this year and what they did to help their parents, siblings, neighbors, friends, teachers, or pets.
  1. Practice gratitude. Next, have them thank Santa for what he brought them last year so Santa feels appreciated and knows he made them happy.
  1. Think about why. Here comes the march of the toys! But instead of having them simply list one toy after the other, have them put some thought into what they really want by telling Santa why they would like it.
  1. Reindeer games. For a fun, thoughtful ending, have them tell Santa to pat the reindeer for them and to shine Rudolph’s nose so Santa can see clearly and has a safe trip.
  1. From.. At the end, they can write “Love” or “Your Friend” or “Sincerely” and sign their name.

Now they’ve written a thoughtful and kind letter to Santa that’s sure to put them at the top of the “nice” list!

December 2014 Desktop Wallpaper & Letter from the Editor

December 1, 2014 by bluemountainecards

12012014_Desktop_BMA_1280x800

 “I will honor Christmas in my heart,
and try to keep it all the year.”
_ Charles Dickens

December is here and for many of us around the country, it’s the season to be freezin’!  But we’re from hardy stock, here at Blue Mountain, and we think the best month was saved for last. December is sparkling snow, crackling fires, and frosty mornings.  It’s wonder and dreams, laughter, nostalgia, old friends, and traditions we treasure.

December brings the holidays, giving us the feeling of hope in our lives, the promise of peace in our world, but most importantly, the gift of love in our hearts.  It’s a joyful time of reaching out to those we care about and remembering that the greatest gift we can give someone is our time and attention.

We’ve pulled out all the stops for this year’s BlueMountain.com Christmas offering.  We created a beautifully rendered and richly animated show that takes place in New York’s Central Park in Charles Dickens’ time.  You can watch the horse and carriage walk over the Vine Arch Bridge and the skaters spinning on the Pond.  We brought in a special choral group to sing “The Carol of the Bells” as the choir in the Pavilion.  At the end, you can roll over the historic landmarks and learn more about them.  Our new religious card celebrates the first Christmas in Bethlehem.  We brought in an ensemble to perform an awe-inspiring version of “O Holy Night,” and have included the amazing story behind the hymn at the end of the show.  We have warm-hearted wishes for the season and light-hearted smiles, such as our talking Chihuahua, “Feliz Navidog,” and our adorable talking Penguin, “Let It Snow!”  For those of you celebrating Hanukkah, we have a fun snowman surprise for you in “It’s Hanukkah!”

We also wanted to offer our friends and fans a beautiful winter-inspired  download for your desktop background, your phone background, or even your Facebook cover image. All of us here at Blue Mountain wish you peace and joy and beautiful holiday memories to keep throughout the year.

Merry Christmas!
