Do you send out greeting cards for the December holidays Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year?

Asked by jca2 (16736points) December 20th, 2022

I’ve always sent Christmas cards out, since I was a teenager. When I worked, I gave some out to coworkers, as well.

I just mailed out about 60 yesterday. I used to send more, when I was working and when I was more into mailing one to everyone.

I’ve noticed I receive less now. Sometimes it’s because people have passed away and sometimes it’s because people just don’t mail traditional cards. People keep up via social media now, more and more. Also there’s the cost, the cost of the cards and the cost to mail. For me, it was over 30 dollars for stamps and about 50 for cards.

Do you mail out traditional (paper) cards for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, New Year?

About once a decade I do, I write a note in each, and I really enjoy it. I grew up in a house where the level of judgement and obligation surrounding the sending and receiving of Holiday cards so high as to ruin the concept for me. But, as I said, about once a decade I really enjoy it.
Then, of course, for a few years I get about a zillion, then they trickle off.

I still send out about 20 cards to family and friends that live out of state. I also send one to my yard guy so I can tip him.

Usually not. Maybe two a year for some particular reason.

Yes, every year.

I send Christmas/New Year cards every December. I haven’t received so many this year perhaps due to the postal workers strike in the UK.
