Programs and web to create a Christmas greeting

As every December 24 we celebrate Christmas Eve and Christmas tomorrow, so if we have not done it yet and we have waited for the last day, surely we will have to send the typical congratulations to our friends, family and other loved ones. Since the advent of the Internet, it has become increasingly common to send them by email or WhatsApp messages, to the detriment of the postcard in a letter. For this we can use a pre-designed greeting card or choose to create them ourselves.

If we want to be a little more original, it never hurts to directly create our own Christmas greeting to later share it with our loved ones. To help us with this work we can use some free web services, as well as some programs with which to do it in a simple and original way during this Christmas Eve.
