Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

Only a few mostly to elderly relatives who don't have computer access or folks who l know would be upset not to get one.

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

I went through my list and found three people on it had died since last year. I only send about 12 and hand deliver the rest.
I has got expensive especially if you make or buy some that are layered etc.

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

Yes I still send and am dreading the postage bill. I also have cards to send to the US, birthday and Christmas, and one fits inside the other.

One or two nieces and nephews have stopped sending, so they came off the list some years ago.

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

My list is getting smaller every year. Last year I made a note of those that sent them to me and those that didn't so I will be referring to it it this year. At one time, that would have bothered me for being so mean but I am past caring now.

Yes I do still send hand written special cards to a few family and friends....nowhere as many as I used to though.
I really enjoy recieving handwritten thoughtful cards and keep these from year to year.
I do tend to think it will die out altogether sadly ...in time!

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

The price of cards and the cost of posting them has made it an expensive business. I'm sure the whole idea will disappear eventually. Another thing that greed had destroyed.

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

No. I had one sent to me by a woman from the next town so I will hand one in to where she works as I dont know her address and dont want to.
She sent me a hand made one with Happy Christmas and big romantic love hearts on last week.
I will give her a cheapo one with no verse and just sign it From Mr D******.
I'm just not interested in her. She wont get the hint. 😠😠😠
I will give my family theirs with their presents, and if my neighbours give me one I will send a return one. Some of them appear to have fallen out with me.

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

I really dont mind the cost to send any "special" cards as I think its all part of the seasons greetings....I cant be doing with quibbling over a few pounds here and there to make someone feel theyre cared about .....how humbuggy!!!
