Among Friends

It is a week until Christmas and I have received only four Christmas cards.  One from my dentist, one from my financial adviser and two from relatives.  This is a lot less than years past.  

How about you?  Are getting significantly less cards this year?

I don't send out cards anymore.  A lot of people I know stopped too.

I would say we are getting about the same, but maybe just a few less!!! I have had a couple people call me and say --- we appreciate the card but because of the virus we didn't go out to buy cards so don't be disappointed that you don't get one from us and Merry Christmas!  I thought that was very sweet!

We’ve received two so far....lol.  I suspect we’ll get a couple more before Christmas but that’s all.  I’ve stopped sending them except for those to whom we are sending checks or gift cards to.

I bought my cards on sale after Christmas last year so I sent mine out as usual.  I don't send that many, maybe 26.  I have only gotten 11 so far.  I would have expected more.

  I got 2 Christmas cards & 1 Hanukkah card.I used to get about 50.People stopped sending them.

I like sending and receiving Christmas cards.   I’ve received about the same as last year - maybe a couple less.

@ninjawife   I have only received 5...all family members.  I can remember many years ago when my mom and I would make a special trip to the mall so she could pick out the "perfect" card.  It would take her forever to chose.  It had to have the perfect sentiment as well.....This is also when we would actually have 2 mail deliveries a day the week before Christmas because there were so many cards.   It was exciting to see how many we would get....  Unfortunately those days are gone.   Just thankful to have the memories....

I sent out about 30 cards and have received cards from most of the people who usually send me one.  I hardly ever see my cousins and so I really enjoy getting cards and photos from them.  The same is true with some friends who have moved away.

We send a few. Some to the Netherlands. Some to the elderly. Some to people far away.

Most people have the E-Mail,but we like the personal touch.

Daddy loved to send cards. I can still see him (in my mind's eye) sitting at the kitchen table doing the cards. He sent about 200 cards and we received about the same.

Daddy was WW2 and snt a lot to his old war buddies.
