Title: Have you sent out your Christmas cards yet?
Post by: Dynamite2013 on December 17, 2013, 09:18:38 am
I finally got my done and mailed them out. 70 cards this year. 40 family and 30 friends. The list grows every year on both ends. I hope I can keep up. But I know some I won't get back and I know they can't send cards out but I know that they want to know that I am thinking of them. It definitely brightens their day. So how about you did you send yours out yet?

Sending Christmas Cards is one of my favorite things to do every year.  I start shopping for the cards early because if you wait to late you won't get the good ones. I usually buy about 1-10 diffrent sets. The real issue is.. Which one to give to which person? LOL i always have so much trouble with that.. I know they are just cards.. But they do brighten up peoples days when they recieve them. It is time consuming though.. To sit and write the same thing over and over again and then your name.. Although sometimes i do change it up a bit. Also we buy cards for people in the church because we do card exchanges each christmas.. The hard part with that is.. You don't want to get a card someone else is giving out.. Hahahaa.. But you never know.. O_O  Oh i love christmas! And to answer your question Yes.. and No.. I sent the ones that needed to be sent before christmas.. I did up the church ones.. Haven't really gotten them up to the church yet Slow and steady wins the race!

Wow that was expensive I bet :)

Only sent a couple, every year I send less and less. Mostly because I can keep sending to the same people, and they never send back. No thanks, nothing.

No!! Usually I'm done but this year has been so busy, I don't think I'll be sending cards out. We're leaving on Sunday to go visit family for the holidays, and the rest of this week is going to be nuts getting ready to go away.

Nope .. and I usually don't do Christmas cards .. I think with the internet this age old tradition is starting to fade away.

I haven't done Christmas cards in several years now. With postage on the rise, rather spend the money on gifts for my kids.

Yesterday--and the Christmas cards went straight to the post office. I was told it was their busiest day of the year.

I do a letter and have about a dozen of them to still get out.  I can't seem to get to it - procrastination  :-\

I only mailed a few this year due to postage being so high. I am using facebook and twitter to send most of my holiday wishes this year.

I finally finished my Christmas cards today.  It seems like Christmas came so fast this year and I had good intentions to get the cards out early but, oh well!

Not yet.  I typically do a one-page letter to my extended family - so I need to get that update for this year and printed out.  I don't have too many people to send things out to, so hopefully I can get them in the mail by Saturday...

I just got mine in the mail today.  Realized last night that it was only 5 mailing days til Xmas so it was last night or forget about the christmas cards and do new year's cards instead.  The Christmas cards were already purchased.  My husband helped and we sent out about 30.  With the cost of stamps and cards, we have restricted our list alot.

I sent mine out earlier this month. Had a few more to deliver to this year but I don't mind it. I'm starting to enjoy sending them out.

I sent mine all out a week ago.  I hate it when I get one from someone I didn't send to!
