Christmas Cards
 
Do you still send them ? I have been slowly weaning away from it and may not do any this year.

Mostly just to the one who sent to me the previous year. Past couple years did the Sam's photo cards. Newest thing we have started is picture with Bass Santa one free and cards with envelopes 10 for like 5 bucks printed on the spot. While I drool over the gun case.

Here's my take: I consider a Christmas card a "token of love". A "gift", if you will: freely given without compulsion, with no strings attached. If I send someone a card at Christmas, on a birthday, to cheer them up, whatever, it is with absolutely no strings attached and under my own free will.
 
Any other condition, in my opinion, makes it become an "obligation", which, in my opinion, was never what "card giving" was intended to be.
 
The only time I ever gave out Christmas cards was when I was teaching high school, and I wrote out a card for each one of my students individually. Because I wanted to.
 
Do it because you WANT to. If that means only 5 people who are special to you will get a card this year, then so be it. If it means only 1 person gets a card, then so be it. If you don't WANT to do it, then it becomes an "obligation", which is not what it was intended to be in the first place.
 
That's just me. I've never felt bad about not sending out any cards. And if the people sending cards to me get offended because I never send one back, well, I question their motives for sending me one in the first place. And if I do send out a card or two, most people understand how special that is from me.
 
That's just me.

For me, I share Christmas cheer everyday to all my family and friends. I have two Christmas groups on facebook. To me, everyday is Christmas, Msgem!
 
For this reason, I have no desire to send paper cards every year as I did in the past.

I used to send photo cards of the boys every year to family and friends. Not so much anymore...I get to see everyone's families online so holiday cards aren't as important as they used to be.

I "always" send Christmas cards...I make them out the Sat following Thanksgiving..so I made them out today..I love sending them and hunting for the perfect card...They don't cost that much and it's kinda like a gift...
