Re: how many cards have you received to date?

I stopped sending them a couple of years ago. It has nothing to do with the expense. I just don't have the time or, quite honestly, the interest. I may receive a few, but the vast majority of my friends/family stopped sending them out as well.

Back in the day, Daddy would send out several hundred cards. Many would go to his Army buddies from WWII. I can still see him sitting at the kitchen table writing the cards.

Re: how many cards have you received to date?

Back in the day everyone would send out cards. Cards were so pretty then

 

The first year I was married ,we lived in town, and  during the Christmas  season we had 2 delieveries of mail each day

 

I have a couple of cards but, I stopped sending cards years ago. I just didn't enjoy doing it any longer

Counting the ones from Chewy.com, the American Heart Association and The Salvation Army, four!  I sent about 20 a week ago.  I make my cards.  Even if I don't receive cards in return, I so enjoy the process of crafting my cards and sending them.

[ Edited ]

Only 1 "personal" card from a friend who lives on the other side of the country.   

 

A few from "other" contacts (businesses, etc.)

 

Just about all my friends and family send e-cards.  

 

Rather than spending money on gifts, we decided to donate that money to charities.

Re: how many cards have you received to date?

We have received 4 so far.  We just mailed out 38!  In the past we used to send about 50 to 60. Over the years I just stopped mailing cards to new friends and started sending e-cards to them.  Now my number of cards mailed has shrunk down due to people passing away or just losing contact with them!  Merry Christmas!Woman Wink

Re: how many cards have you received to date?

I've gotten about ten, but only three of them were from friends.  The rest were from businesses, etc.  I only send 15 cards now.  I used to send much more.  I never get many until much closer to Christmas.
