Holiday card & gift

The holiday season is nearly upon us. For most, but not all of us, Christmas is the upcoming excitement. What holiday do you celebrate in your area of the world?

I am hoping that we try to get to know each other a bit by sending a nice holiday card including a brief description of how we celebrate the season. (customs, food, etc.) and a small gift. The gift should be small to reduce shipping costs and inexpensive - just a token to make your swap partner smile. It can be homemade. Just make sure it is something that you would also like to receive.

I have never created a swap before, so please be gentle with me! :-) Let me know if I have missed anything.
