Does anyone really go out of their way to send holiday cards?

I wish I was a card sender. It’s always been a source of guilt for me that I get to near Christmas and realise that yet again, I forgot to send them. I’ve even bought boxes of them over the years, and then don’t write them or post them.

I think we’ve lost the ‘writing’ skill and that includes cards and letters. Good for you @MooCows. I’m sure your recipients appreciate them.

I have been a sender, off and on, if I have good picture of the kids to send. Otherwise, I will skip a year.

My wife does, she hand makes most of them too.

We have a short list we sent cards to each holiday.

My father, sixty years ago, sent out up to 400 cards each Christmas. He was in a customer service position with customers in 15 different countries and all the states in the United States. My Mom had a spiral ring notebook with sent and received (along with current address).

I too have been a sender over the years when my daughter was small and the family/friends pool was bigger but in the last 15 or so I just quit. Card Turkey. haha
Honestly, I am not really a card person and I will throw your card away within a couple days tops. Thanks anyway.

I, too, am a holiday card sender. My mom did and I do and many of my friends do. I still send cards to certain former coworkers and friends and it is the only way we keep in touch, year after year.

I have sent out Christmas cards since I was about 16. I used to take great pains to choose just the right card, too. Now it’s a card with my daughter’s photo on it. I print 100 at Costco and I mail out about 40 and then I hand about another 30 to people at work or around the neighborhood or school staff. I like printing more than I need so I have spares.

I have my card list on Excel in the work computer and I update it as necessary. Every year I strive to send th cards out early but between getting them printed and then mailing them out, it’s often not far before Christmas that I’m putting them in the mail.
