Last year I too was on the hunt for the perfect Christmas card. I went to several stores - even a stationery store & a Catholic Book store & many other different stores to no avail. Finally I tried Walmart & EUREKA! I found a box of exquisite cards at a normal price. Several people commented later on how beautiful they were. Sadly they were made in China - but then what isn't made in China these days? I haven't started my hunt this year but I think I'll start at Walmart.
