Spread joy with locally printed holiday cards

  • By Kaci Yoder

The holiday season is a time to revisit traditions of the past—log fires instead of space heaters, warm cider instead of Starbucks standbys and personal correspondence instead of group texts. There’s something comforting about boxing up a care package for friends or family far away with a handwritten card.

For that extra personal touch, send your long-distance loved ones a little local sweetness with one of these holiday cards, designed and printed by artists right here in Baton Rouge.
