Do you send them, not send them; receive many cards or a few? I used to send about 75 of them. No kidding. My husband has a huge family. I don't bother with all that anymore. I've sent about 20 the last few years. This year, not sure. I haven't decided if I'm up to it.

^ It does take awhile to sign & address all those cards. I'd love to be able to just email everyone a holiday card but over half the people I send them too do not have computers. Mainly the older relatives. So I've got a pick an afternoon to get it done.

With all you've been through the last few months surely your friends & relatives will understand if you don't send any out.

I send out Christmas cards.

I have mailed all of mine except one that will go in the mail tomorrow.

I get some cards and I like them.

That's so nice how you sent out so many cards. It's a shame more people haven't appreciated all that you have done over the years. Don't feel you have to send out cards. I know it's been hard the last couple months hang in there my friends.

I used to send out 12 or more a year. This year I sent 4.

OH Nuts! · 12-05-2012, 07:46 AM

I only send out a few - and generally send most others an e-card.

I really have to get started on this. Usually I have my cards sent by now. I am seriously considering cutting back as stamps are so expensive. I usually send around 25 but this year I will pare it down a bit My husband wants me to just stop sending cards but I am not ready to go that far yet!.

With the wedding next year my fiance and I did Christmas cards this year as almost a practice run for addressing all the save the dates that need to go out in February. It also gave us a chance to get more addresses for people on our guest list. Our cards went into the mail Monday.

I used to send over 50 cards, now I think I send about 20. Most of it was people not sending cards back. When I give them a couple years to send me a card, and they don't, I stop sending them, unless it's family. I'm the same as Penny Lane, I usually have all my cards sent, but I've been sick the past week and haven't felt like doing anything, even decorating.

gilligan fanatic · 12-05-2012, 03:36 PM

No, don't get them and don't send them. I'm still young enough where I really don't know a heck of a lot of people who live on there own though. I'll send some online greetings

AB · 12-13-2012, 07:47 PM

Sent mine off Tuesday, had to go buy extra stamps. Wish the post office would give you a free stamp for every 20 you buy. lol! Anyway I sent off 34 this year & hand delivered 12 more.

Mr. Television · 12-13-2012, 09:27 PM

I only send about 3 or 4 cards out anymore.

gidgetgrape · 12-13-2012, 09:50 PM

I'm only sending two this year. I just don't feel like it.

TVFactFan · 12-14-2012, 09:45 PM

I don't send them anymore because of the change at the Post Office. They removed the stamp machine which means I have to stand in a long line for 1 stamp lol

Not going to do it.

Coffeecup · 12-15-2012, 07:14 PM

I don't send out many at all. I have 3 aunts over age 90 and I do send a card to them. But I like to write a little something in the card and with most of my so called surface friends, I just can't think of what to say. So the card just says the Merry Xmas and Happy New Year and I tend to think that is a waste of 45cents.

dakert · 12-16-2012, 02:09 AM

You can get stamps at Wal Mart, Grocery Stores etc...

I like to write out my Christmas Cards while listening to Christmas music or watching a Christmas program. For a few minutes it reminds me of what the relative/friend means to me.
