Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

I can honestly say that I never enjoyed sending Christmas cards, it was just another Christmas chore!
I never understood why people sent them to the people they were likely to see over the holiday, and there were very few that I didn't see.

For the last 3 years I haven't sent any but, I do send ones via the internet, to people who live abroad. The rest I speak to on the phone, and many of them now see sending cards as what they really are....a means of card companies & the post to make more money.
My money now is given to Animal charities, where the recipients wont be stuffing their faces with too much food.... but it may offer them a place to sleep and a guaranteed meal!

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

I do Muddy, I was planning to buy a few boxes this week but decided to ask HWMO to go up in the attic and fetch the box down that holds all the previous years' boxed cards.
There were dozens!! (when I think of all those times I ran out of an envelope!).
So, being the tightwad I am, I refuse to buy any more until each and everyone of these are used first.

Silver, you made 120 cards? Wow, that is a lot....you must have a lot of friends. They are all lucky to get one of your home made cards, they are the best I have ever seen anywhere....

Way to go silver

I think I may have sent 20 this year of which most were to immediate family and old friends.
Muddy, this is the first year, I just haven't been able to get around to do this and other things for Christmas. I just am not up to it this year...

Last year I sent about 5 out-of-towners......

I tried that last year and I swear some of them were from the 70's.

Re: Do you send Christmas Cards ?

No, I hand-deliver the few cards I give out. I'm not really into Christmas but I consider it rude to get a card and not return the favour.

Yes, of course, I send cards.
But yes less than years ago, as many have now passed away.
