Together against loneliness: A Christmas card that brings a smile
Christmas is fast approaching, and festive preparations are already underway. While many spend the holidays with their loved ones, some people experience this time alone. This is precisely where the "Post with Heart" campaign comes in: With a simple Christmas card, you can bring joy to someone who is lonely and provide a little light and warmth during the Advent season. Gründl has supported this heartfelt initiative for years, as it combines creative design with social commitment. We warmly invite you to craft your own Christmas cards and spread Christmas cheer.
is a nonprofit organization committed to making sure lonely people are not forgotten during the Christmas season and do not feel forgotten. Its goal is to give these people new hope and joy through heartfelt mail. To do this, "Post mit Herz" connects volunteer card writers with social institutions that pass the cards directly on to the recipients. After registering, you receive the address of a social institution to which you can send your Christmas card. The staff there then distribute the cards to the people who will benefit most. This ensures that no one is left without a loving message at Christmas.

- 1. Crochet a heart - you can download our free pattern here and crochet it with either Häkelgarn 100 or Cotton Quick uni. In Christmas colors, your heart will shine especially brightly.
- 2. Attach the crocheted heart: you can glue it on or fasten it to the card with a thread, so it remains removable and can later be used as a pretty decoration.
- 3. Write your personal Christmas wishes or encouraging words. Let your card become a true message from the heart. Whether your own words, a Christmas poem or inspiration from the internet - the main thing is that your message brings joy and courage.
- 4. Write down the address, add postage and send the card - that is how easy it is to create your gift from the heart!

Your commitment gives lonely people not only beautiful moments, but also makes the world a little kinder and warmer.
