Do you send out Christmas Cards
« on: December 03, 2009, 04:48:44 pm »
I used to send out a lot of cards but I am finding that my list gets shorter each year.  Is it just me?

i love sending out christmas cards -- it is getting expensive though -- but I will continue.  last year I sent nearly 100 cards..... this year my husband would like to significantly decrease that but I don't know who to cut off the list.

This was a huge thing when i was a kid (before the days of e-mail) and I loved getting to read all the letters and see all the cards as they were delivered.  I now am the youngest in the family and feel like i need to keep this tradition going

I used to but I have lost contact with many people, and others I mainly send e-cards to so I pretty much don't anymore except to some extended family members that we don't see very often.

I love sending Christams cards out. My husband always makes the appointment to get Christmas pictures taken in late October so I send Christmas cards along with the new family picture. I know my friends and family love getting them as much as I love sending them!!!

We try to send a photo card each year.  It is fun to watch to see how the kids grow and change each year.

Hell NO!  Talk about a waste of paper, trees, time, money...and ultimately an xmas marketing scheme.  I literally hate getting them. But amen to those who love to send them...

Some years I do better than others.  It just depends on what is going on.  If cards get sent out for the family I am the one who sends them.

I use to send out Christmas cards out every year, but I stopped.  Finances aren't available.

I always send out Christmas cards. My family lives in Ireland, so its nice to send them a card to let them know that they are in my thoughts during the holidays.

no one says that xmass cards have to sent through the mail - do  a xmass sing song over your phone - do an email - do a facebook - do what ever it takes - but let your loved ones know - your alive and well and wish them the same - next year there will be few of them and then you will have wished that you cared enoungh to send the very best - your love - - IMHO >> In My Humble Opinion - The MUSEUM, Zazzle, deviantART, ArtFire, FineArtAmerica

I send out Christmas cards every year, but they only cost me postage because I use the free ones I get from organizations like Paralyzed Veterans of America. I don't send that many, so I always get enough free ones. And I usually have a lot of extra stamps hanging around, because I collect stamps and a lot of times I have to buy a whole roll or sheet when I just want a few stamps.
