It seems every year I send out less and less cards.
Do you Send Out Christmas Cards?

Nope, postage is too expensive.

Getting Christmas cards ready for mailing is my project for today (if I can keep my hands off this site). I don't send a lot, but more to family and friends than I used to now that I don't have 30 munchkins each year that always got one in the mail.
I dislike phones and probably wouldn't like the internet if it didn't let me write -- something I really enjoy. Sending cards to special people is never a chore whether I get one in return or not.

Does a email take the place of a card?

OMG! NO! NO! NO! Not to a dinosaur like me. Hey, I am having fun playing with the text items. So much more to learn

Don't send them. Between postage & time they just don't get done. I like them but they are a low priority so they often don't make the deadline aka Christmas

We're sort of at the stage where we go "Well, rats, the Smiths sent us a card, so now we'll have to hurry and send then one."

Theoretically I send them. In real life they rarely make it.
But I am accumulating an impressive collection of different cards to send when I actually do get to it on time.

Like Lynn, I'm writing notes to go in the cards, today. There's no waiting any later! It is kind of a bother because I try to make them personalized and it is kind of easy because they have a format after awhile.
Most of the recipients are very elderly people and I don't expect a response. I've done this forever and really, neither expect nor want a bunch coming thru the mail. Few folks send any information. It is good that they are thinking of us; it is better if they have a little to say. I'm not expecting to visit and don't use the phone . . . what's that leave? Good enough that I can communicate with them once a year.
The number has been an easy limit. After awhile, people shuffle off this mortal coil but I've been inclined to add a few new, every decade or so.
