'Tis the season for sending and receiving Christmas cards! This may make me sound old, but in the days of near-constant digital communication, there is something really lovely about an IRL card, you know? It's a cute way to say hi to your fave people near and far and let them know you're thinking about them—especially during the holiday season. So, to help lessen your December to-do list, we've rounded up the best holiday cards that you still have time to order, because Christmas and New Year's will be here before ya know it.

And trust us, these won't be the kinds of holiday cards people leave in a messy mail pile for a few weeks before tossing. They're legitimately so pretty that everyone will want to display them!
