Yes I do, Muddy

Like you though, my list has dwindled and amounts to 18 this year.

Same here.

My list gets smaller every year too.

Aren't stamps expensive now too, even second class ones!

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

Who doesn't? Unless you're a Jehovah or a Muslim of course.

It gets a bit trite when you have to send them to the neighbours who you may nod to once a year if that.

Only ones that are hand delivered, letter/card postage is far too much these days.

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

Christmas cards for neighbors thankfully doesn't seem to be a "thing" in my area, which is great as I know two well enough to pass the time of day with and the rest I wouldn't know from a hole in the ground. I agree with Floydy there.

I send maybe five cards in total to family & friends who are bothered by that kind of thing, to be polite, but that's it for me.

I made and sent about 120 this year - a lot of them can be hand delivered (thank goodness ) but - yes - the list diminishes year by year. I love making them though, and I love receiving them - they bring a lot of joy.

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

Yes, l always send Christmas cards and my list has dwindled too because some have died.

I always have plenty of postage stamps because being a practical person, l request that my family do not buy me stuff l will never use, for my birthday or Christmas, just buy me postage stamps!!

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

We only deliver by hand these days I've got about a hundred to deliver over next week or two. Most easy enough as they all congregate in a few places so I'm not pounding the pavements.

We also send e cards to anyone we can't get to.
