Why should I use GotFreeCards?

We get many notes from our users but we thought we should share this with you … (Thanks Rachael)

Every single time I have to go to a birthday party I go to hallmark to get cards but once we ran out, and we did’nt have enough time to go buy another card so I ran to my computer and searched for ”online printable birthday cards”. so i browsed through all the sites and found ”gotfreecards.com”. so since then I always came on this site to get my birthday cards for my friends. I also told my friends about it. they tried it and liked it too. I have’nt tried another site yet because I don’t need to try because I already have a fantastic site.well, the way I got to this site might be a boring story for you but the site is a wonderful, awesome, and helpful site to me. I also don’t have to pay for the cards! which is super duper cool!

A Month for Giving Thanks

Some of us may already have holiday plans in place. Others may be planning the Thanksgiving meal of the century and looking forward to playing host this year with friends and family coming over to celebrate.

Convey Appreciation and Gratitude With Free Ecards and Printable Cards

As you know, free ecards can help you say, among other things, “Thank you!” which is great since Thanksgiving is a few weeks away.

Some of us may already have holiday plans in place. Others may be planning the Thanksgiving meal of the century and looking forward to playing host this year with friends and family coming over to celebrate.

Giving Thanks…Beyond Family and Friends

Even as the majority of us make holiday plans, there are those of us who have to work until the holiday eve or perhaps through the Thanksgiving break. This includes doctors, nurses, firefighters and other professionals providing emergency services as well as retail workers who will be busy prepping stores for the mad Black Friday rush and barely have enough down time to celebrate Thanksgiving with their families.

Sometimes, the mere nature of one’s profession demands his or her time and presence even on Thanksgiving. People have to show up at work in hospitals, fire departments, airports and other places just so the rest of us can enjoy the holiday.

It’s surprising we don’t pause more often and thank the people who make a difference in our lives everyday without us even realizing it. Our lives would come to a standstill without them showing up for work day after day like clockwork, and yet, we barely know their names or faces. This includes the mailman, the school bus driver, the garbage collector, maintenance personnel, public transport drivers, cops and many others.

Then there are those who simply can’t afford to take a break to celebrate, for whom, Thanksgiving is yet another two-shift work day.

For them, Thanksgiving isn’t a long weekend of celebration but just another day of trying to make ends meet, getting up and going to work to put food on the table.

The Thanksgiving Month

What if we could turn this November into a month of gratitude? How wonderful it would be if each of us could express thanks not just to our friends and family but to those whose names we may not know, but who matter all the same?

Free Printable Cards and Ecards are a great way to send your gratitude, appreciation and best wishes to people who touch your lives but who may not be at your holiday dinner. Here’s your chance to thank them and wish them a happy season nevertheless.

Take some time this November to send free Thanksgiving ecards or perhaps to send printable Thanksgiving cards to people beyond your immediate circle of family and friends. When you see your child’s school bus driver or the mailman making the rounds, greet them not just with a ‘Hello’ but with a Printable Thanksgiving Card.
