With the holidays approaching I’m sure many of us will be purchasing cards for the people who are special to us. Hallmark has a line of recordable cards that allow you to record your own message in your own voice. I know sometimes when I’m looking for a card I can’t find one that says exactly how I feel and the recordable cards would give me the opportunity to say exactly how I feel.
We received two recordable cards to review and I thought a video review would be perfect. I was going to let my children record their own messages but they got camera shy. So, your just stuck with me.
Recordable cards are such a nice touch and puts a little bit of personality into the card that you are giving.
Buy It:
You can view the entire line of recordable cards by visiting any Hallmark Gold Crown store in your area.

Hallmark is the best. My favorite Christmas memory is when Santa broght me my new roller skates with Zinger wheels.
my older sister took us to midnight mass at a nearby church and the sound of the people singing was so magical.
My best Christmas memory only lasted 2 weeks. I grew up in Jersey City and always wanted a bike. I got one for Christmas and was thrilled. 2 weeks later someone stole it. I was sooo upset but we couldn’t afford another one.
My favorite Christmas memory was my baby girl’s first Christmas. She was so curious and funny.
My favorite memory is driving around after church looking at christmas lights.

My fave holiday memory is my uncle dressing up like Santa and interrupting our Christmas dinner every year! Now I’m lucky that he still enjoys doing it for my kids!

My favorite Christmas memory was when I flew in and surprised my parents for Christmas. They had no clue that I was coming in town. My sister picked me up at the airport and dressed me up like a package. I had a huge bow on my head and ribbons all over my body. She went in the house first and then I just walked in. My mother just stared at me in total shock and it took her a minute to realize that it was really me standing in front of her. I loved surprising my parents that way. It was the perfect Christmas with the whole family together.

My favorite Christmas memory was putting up the tree when I was about 5. I had just started Kindergarten and made several ornaments, which I was very proud to display.

My favorite Christmas memory was the year I found a child sized roll top desk from Santa Claus. I was a nerd even then, and I spent hundreds of hours in my ‘office’ until I outgrew it and had to ask for an adult sized desk for Christmas.

My favorite Christmas memory is that when I was 8or 9 I had this huge Christmas book full of Christmas stories and songs that I loved to get out right before Thanksgiving ans read all the stories to my little brothers.And then we sould sing all the songs and just had so much fun. I read the stories so much that I memorized most of them.

My favorite memory is baking cookies from scratch with my niece. It is always fun seeing the different ways we can decorate them.
One of my favorite Christmas memories was captured in a photo of my daughter and I when she was a mere 3 months old. She’s trying to lift herself to get a better look into the Christmas tree lights.

Making cookies every Christmas Eve for Santa now I do it with my kids
My favorite Christmas memory is spending Christmas Eve each year at my grandparents, with the entire extended family. We would have a huge dinner and then presents (and more presents!) would be exchanged.

I think I have a number of memories that roll into one big memory. When I was little, every Xmas eve, we’d go to my godparent’s house. They’d have a HUGE party…and I’d get to see relatives I only saw once a year, be with my grandparents, and family. I miss that.

I loved spending the holiday with my grandfather in his old home.
I remember the year we went to Disneyworld. We ate Christmas dinner at a truck stop, but the memories are so awesome!

My favorite Christmas memory is when my mom & dad gave me a shadowbox with my baby outfit and bracelet framed. I actually cried. Thanks.
My favorite Christmas memory is helping my mom bake cookies and wrap presents for a family she knew who was having a difficult time financially and wouldn’t have Christmas without our help. It was so exciting when my dad got back from “doorbell ditching” the gift boxes — listening to him describe each detail about he got away without being “caught.” It set a pattern in motion for my own life.

My favorite Christmas memory was the year we had an ice storm and had no power. We went to Ryans Restaurant to eat and “Santa” walked around to ask what all the kids wanted for Christmas. My son said electricity!!

The time we had our Old Aluminum CHristmas Tree up and sitting around watching the rotor wheel coloring it and listening to CHristmas songs.
My favorite Christmas memory is the year that “Santa” left his footprints on the carpet. I couldn’t believe it! I will never forget that Christmas. It is the main one I remember. Thank you!
