up until the past couple years i went all out sending Christmas cards, to all family, friends and co-workers. i didn't buy cheap ones either! aside from the expense, i spent days writing personal notes in each one. last year i missed Christmas and had an excuse, this year i am opting out of the annual frenzy of cards. i am going to be tacky and use the internet! the hallmark card site has lovely free cards to send on the date you wish, i love it! what about you, still following the old tradition? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes I enjoy sending cards. Id like to send you one. Would you be comfortable with that ? Or do you think I might hop on a plane to come down there and personally "Nomad" you ?

just send card with your social security number, address and and W2 to my new address, IRS, Washington DC....theyll route it to me.

Yes, I still send cards the old fashion way for Christmas.

Think their more personal than an e-mail card, especially if you plan on adding a note or photo's.

But...since you're gonna do it the modern way LC, I hope I'm on your list! :wah:

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU!!!!

I love sending Christmas cards! Family members will get a homemade one with a photo I took of the kids, others will get some lovely Native American Christmas cards.

bah humbugi just bought the new christmas stamps at .37...when are they going up? -------hey Lil, of course you'll get a card, and a merry to you too!

I used to but it was one of those things I eventually gave up to cut

my stress level. I know everyone knows I do wish them a Merry

Christmas.



I have a bunch of cards from the sixties, gonna see what kind of

decoration I can do with that. They are way cool.

LC...stamps increase the first of the year!

Yep....I'll be sending out cards too for our business. I always liked doing the card thing. Some folks will get the e-mail cards too.

you have a good point JAB....i like getting them in the mail! maybe i will eat my words and start the cards! the ones for family have to be special individual ones, and the work ones are generic, some need religious missives, and some humorous or nostalgic. it takes some thought. ...one tip...every Dec. 26 i go to barnes and noble and buy the really pricey cards i like for at least 50% off. then stash them.

Well I don't send card any more.. no time, cost to much and I hate to write.. So I do e-cards....!! So far no complaints..!!

This is one of my favorite sites..just beautiful cards not a lot of them but extremely well thought out and beautiful to send. LC know how beautiful these cards are.

I never send them because I'm the Bah Humbug person.

I send special cards to special friends and family. No cards to 'acquaintances any more. Small but nice cards to people at work....(feel obliged).

I'll send cards if I feel like it. Often I get too busy and end up forgetting about it, anyway, though.

My ex-husband's aunt was so organized that after New Year's, when cards are on sale, she would take a night and just go card shopping. She would get all of the birthday cards, anniversary cards, holiday cards and whatever occasion cards that she knew was coming up for the year. She kept a folder and kept everything organized. Then she only had to get the card(s) out, fill them out and send them. I wish that I could be that organized!

I've got loads of cards last from last year that I 'forgot ' to post....make use of them this year.

I'm still sending cards. It's good for me, it's good for those gettin' 'em. Helps get us all in the spirit of the whole thing.

I love sending and recieving cards...it lets people know you are thinking of them at this special family time of year..:p

I'll send a few cards out. I won't like it, but I'll do it. Also, sending out cards to key people assures that I won't have to actually visit them.

I see my friends have missed me in my absence. Evil bitch. :yh_kiss

I'd love to be independently wealthy! If you can make that happen, I'll gladly quit my job!!

Yes we send tradational Christmas cards, we love sending them, & even better love receiving them!!! It's also a way of keeping in touch (putting in personal message & pix) with friends that we were not able to get to visit with during the year.

if anyone wants to try this, click on free-e-cards. www.hallmark.com. -----i order cards way in advance for every holiday and birthday, you can specify a date when it will be sent. so if i drop dead people will still get the cards and freak out! hahahaha:yh_ghost :yh_ghost

Well I still do send Christmas cards out to people, but not as many as I used to. Is such a nice feeling though to get them, I remember we always used to play the 'see who can get the most cards this year' game back at school. Sadly I never won, but heh I didn't mind.....much..... grumble.....

YEP! I go all out with the cards! I figure at least once a year all my friends and family can know I'm still alive and thinking of them! LOL!!

I am doing so. I love it.

Me to O, I have a "Greetings Card" disc I got with my PC, it's great! I make many "personalized" cards for our relatives. But my wife still thinks she should also send a store bought card, that's just the way she feels. So some get "2" cards!

GAWD! Thats WAAAAY too organised for me! LOL! (you have a morbid streak methinks!):yh_laugh

Totally agree with you! Over here, they have the kind that are called 'charity cards'. The proceeds from the cards go to charity. I get those. And the ones from last year I recycle as tags for this years pressies!:yh_bigsmi
