Christmas cards
Have you noticed as the years roll on you no longer get Christmas cards from people you knew well years ago.It makes me wonder if they are still alive not have got one from them last year. Do you carry on sending a card to them.
Maybe they have moved and you didn't know?

Yes, that happens to me too. If I don't receive a Christmas card one year then I don't send the next, assuming they are no longer around or have moved.
Over recent years I've also noticed how many people are no longer sending cards in favour of online e-cards. Possibly very much less cost when postage is considered, far easier and usually a donation is made to a charity. These are also more environmentally friendly.

We re-cycle them don't we?

Re: Christmas cards
We send cards to those who have stopped sending them to us. Only for a couple of years though. After that, we assume they have moved or died.We don't send eCards but I don't mind receiving them. The Jacquie Lawson animated ones are particularly good.

Mrs mart used to hand-make cards only for close friends and family but now she makes them for everyone. I design and print the inserts.
