I mail about 20 Christmas cards right after Thanksgiving. My list is way shorter now than from years past.

I will be sending eight Christmas cards this year. I enjoy sending and receiving cards although I know few others do. I like to enclose a note letting them know that I am thinking about them.

I email and call people throughout the year.

I'm totally old school. I always send cards out in the mail, no matter how much stamps cost. It's part of the holiday! Personally, I don't like, nor do I send an e-card. Too impersonal. When I receive a card in the mail, they go right on the mantle for display. My favorite ones are the photo cards from my family and friends.

I still send Christmas cards though like others my list is a bit shorter. We are not on FB so we really don't keep in touch with people through social media. I think it's a loss for the season that so many choose not to send anymore. I always find joy when receiving a card at the holidays, especially photos and I hope that my cards do the same for others.

I used to send about 75 now I'm down to between 30-40.

I haven't sent any type of greeting card with a stamp on it for at least 30 years or more!! Stamps are too pricey now days. I do send e-cards tho and if I am planning to see someone, like for Xmas, I do put a card on their gifts or hand them one. I have so many cards leftover too---but have to say, I don't keep the very few I get--really a waste of $$.

No email cards from me. Too impersonal. For family and close friends I make their Christmas cards. Don't care how much the postage is. I like sending out cards. It is part of the holiday season festivities.

I mail about 20 to out of state friends and family. I also include a card with the presents I give.

I mail about 20 cards each year to people who I won't see during the holidays. I pick out a card specifically for each recipient. I love the ones that are three dimensional, especially the ones that look like snow globes.

I mail 10 cards now and for those I gift, I put a Christmas card with their gift be it money, gift card or actual gift. For my grands who want money I put the money in the card and put the card in a gift bag so it at least looks like a gift. I do not like giving money but that is what they want. I definitely never wanted anyone to give me money, I always wanted a gift.

I receive about the same amount of cards as I send. Things sure have changed. I remember getting so many cards at Christmas, Mom would tape them around the archs in the living room and dining room. I remember when it only cost 3 cents if it was a Christmas Card and 2 cents if you did not seal the envelope.

I started out sending about 40 or so cards and now I am down to 10.

I still send Christmas cards out but the number has been decreasing every year. I am sending less than 30 at this point. I only send Christmas e-cards to my family in Italy because if I send them via snail mail I'm lucky if they receive them in time for Easter. LOL
