Do you send ecards or mail cards? I still like to give and received cards by mail.
-
My wife and I have and will always continue to SEND Christmas cards. ;D ;D ;D
-
I have just received my first Christmas card from South Africa! It is always sooooooo nice to receive an actual card that one can hang on the wall as part of the Christmas decorations. I still send out cards with a personal letter to friends and family (it takes quite a long time to do), but I prefer the personal touch to a text message on a cell phone or a general message on Face Book. :thumbsup:
-
i send some cards... only to the family/friends i'm close to.
sometimes i include them with christmas gifts, though.
-
We continue to send Christmas cards.
I like to include a handwritten message too. We have done the typed "newsletter" when the kids were little and had many activities.
-
i still send cards through snail mail--i love to receive cards for christmas---- i send to people i dont see that much but still love and miss and to close friends and family--i usually have my christmas cards done the day after thanksgiving --things get so busy that i try to have some of the madness done ahead of time!
-
We have slowed down on the Christmas cards. Pretty much only family now.
-
We still send Christmas cards, and love receiving them, too. There's just something special about sending and receiving them.
-
I have never sent Christmas cards but I think I will get into the routine because it seems like a very nice gesture :peace: :heart: :D
-
I still do cards myself,but have cut down the list a bit. Gets pretty expensive otherwise.
-
We have never sent e-cards out at all we send Chris's cards on the time but not all the time so we got guess you would say we are still a Christmas card family we received Chris's card from some friends not friends and new letter from silo are old friends that moved away a but we look at the cards and letters and enjoy all so I think a regular card is better than e-cards as you get the cards just get deleted!If you mail a take the time to mail a card I hang it is better because you they think you take the time at least to sign and may address at mail it to them. That messages sent out automatically..
-
I rather receive a christmas card the old fashion way and that is by mail or have it taped to my apartment door. I wouldn't bother opening a ecard because I usually assume its a virus or something.
-
I have sent e-cards to friends and family. I've also received them too. I don't mind getting or giving ecards. Saves money, time, and less trash in the landfills.
-
Still send & get Christmas Cards. :angel11:
-
I love to send and receive real Christmas cards! I can't imagine sending "e-cards" for Christmas--way too impersonal for me! I used to buy expensive cards, but this year bought pretty but less costly ones--have to cut back somewhere, but I'm still sending my cards! I even went to the post office Friday and bought special Christmas stamps!
-
I used to send Christmas cards along time ago but I don't anymore.
-
I send cards to a few people.
-
I don't send cards anymore. I would rather see or call people over the holidays then send cards. :wave: :peace:
-
We still send Christmas Cards, have never sent e-cards. We have cut down list due to the cost of cards and stamps. Usually only send to family and close friends now, would love to send more, but the price really adds up :sad1:
-
We still send them, just not nearly as many as we used to. At the price of stamps these days, who can afford to send a bunch of them out????
-
I only give out two..lol
-
Usually I don't send out christmas cards but with our new business we are sending out cards to customers this year
-
I love to send and receive Christmas cards thru the mail..... although we just received a "green" Christmas card via email, with an attached PDF file... I didn't mind it, but for me, it is still paper envelopes and stamps!!
-
I don't send either one...to lazy to do the tasks.
-
I prefer regular christmas cards. You always have them. You can also put them in a fireproof safe. There are some you would like to treasure, do to someone passing. Some people say put them on a folder on your computers they can crash. Put them on a disk they can scratch and not play. Put them on a usb stick they sometimes dont work. Some people say treasure by memory, what if you cant remember? The most safest is in your heart. You would also like to keep it front of you.
-
I send emails for my friends; get together with some family; call on the phone for other family.
************************
I do have a small design business and type Christmas letters for the elderly. It's fun for them to choose designs....borders for the letter.
-
I haven't done either for some years now. With all the computer technology, there's information overload; however, I always buy cards for my mother who is in a nursing home.
-
i dont send any type of card,,,i use to get a few in the mail but bot in the last few years :cat:
-
I still send Christmas cards by the mail with a stamp. I think it's more exciting to get by the mail. :)
-
I do both. Online greetings consist of a letter which can be printed on the receivers end. Not just an email greeting. And the folks who I don't have email addresses for, still get the same letter by USPS.
-
i dont do christmas cards

Well, it depends who and where the cards are going to. For me, my family is primarily in the same area as I am so mailing a card is silly. But, to friends who live far away a card in the mail is always a nice way to say "thinking of you". Of course, e-cards are just as good if the person(s) receiving them are computer literate - if not, there's just no point. So, either way I really think it's the thought that counts!!!! Merry Christmas!!!!
-
not really, receive a couple here an there
-
I always mail my Christmas cards. I also like to recieve them in the mail. ;D
-
I don't really ever send Christmas cards, but this year my friend told me that she sent me a card, so I felt I had to send her a card back, it feels nice :thumbsup:
-
Hi,
I like to send cards because I am in love with the idea of shopping for them. There are so many variations available in the stores doing Christmas time, it's FUN :) ;).
-
I prefer t send and receive mailed cards. I feel it is a more personal touch. I enjoy hanging tem around the house and seeing them throughout the Holidays
-
:-[..no not at all..i just do emails..phone calls and visit people
-
I send Christmas cards to all of my family and friends, love hearing from them. e-mails are fun but not the same. I even send a real nice Christmas card to aclu. I hope they enjoy it.
-
I think there should be some sort of discounted greeting card stamp.
-
I do both, since some family members don't have a computer.
-
I usually mail Christmas cards. I send a lot out, but don't receive return cards from some people I send them to. This year I'm only going to send cards to people who send me cards. It costs too much to mail and never receive a reply.

I try to brush that off, but I am also sorting narrowing my list based on this!
-
still send christmas cards family tradition
-
Yes. My wife still sends them.
-
I make my own cards and send them out. It cost more that way 65 cents apiece if I add to many buttons to the front of the card.
-
I send cards to family members. It is a very cheap alternative compared with buying individual presents for each person. I actually have to send my cards soon, I forget how the mail gets crazy the weeks before christmas. ahhhhh i still have to take my christmas picture!!! how does christmas always creep up on you
-
I still sent out a few, but not as many as I use too.
-
I do both. I email if I don't have postal addresses on hand. I do like sending them by post rather than email. I think it's more personal. Plus, who doesn't like to get mail in their mailbox?
-
I make photo greeting cards and send them to friends and family. I have cut back a little over the years.
-
I like to mail cards and receive mailed cards
-
I send written Christmas Cards to family and close friends, otherwise, I post a Holiday picture and wishes online by email or social media. I LOVE getting cards in the mail!!
-
Sadly neither....I send a group text...
-
i still mail xmas cards to friends and relatives. i also like to receive xmas cards
-
I send Christmas cards out of town to all near and dear to me. The rest i hand out with some baked goods.
-
I usually send cards by mail! I love to get them by mail also!
-
My parents still send christmas cards and i still enjoy getting in mail email not the same
-
Interesting topic. I have never sent or received a Christmas ecard. Maybe I will someday. My mother and I have sent and received Christmas cards for years. Just this year we received a beautiful Christmas tree card with red glitter from someone. It's on the entertainment center. My mother likes the nativity scene cards but they aren't as easy to find.
-
I love actual Christmas cards, though I don't think we'll be sending any out this year.
-
Sadly neither....I send a group text...
I do that for New Years :)
-
I typically do real cards with a letter to close friends/family. I occasionally send an ecard to several online friends I've accumulated through activities (people I met on vacation or my trivia team). Just got my cards done last night and in the mail today, hopefully ahead of the storm that's coming tonight.
-
wow I didn't realize people still actually send Christmas cards. I remember when I was a kid my mom you to get them every year.
-
We send cards and send them thru the snail mail. Since the cost of buying and sending them has become so exspensive, we limit them to close friends and family.
