Christmas Cards

Mistreatedbycs · ‎03-10-2010

Seriously I used to go through an entire box of cards, maybe 2, remember the piles of cards dumped in the mailbox?

Today, I think I send a total of 3 and that's pushing it for me.

If you are on a list for charities, a lot of them send you a pack of 10 really nice cards but this year, I bought an entire box of some really nice cards (was surprised) for $1 and change from Walmart and thought even if I go to the dollar store and get the .50 cards, I'm still better off with an entire box just incase I may need another one or two.

I think maybe in one or two generations, they'll be saying, what were those Christmas cards all about?

@Mistreatedbycs, you've sent three more than I have, or will! I stopped sending them years ago. I have an old box of them left over and the only reason I use them is to tip my mail carrier and the sanitation guys!

I still send them but not as many as I used to. I don't send them to people I will see over the Holiday season. Most of my cards go out of state. I always write a personal note in them so it takes awhile. I also love to get them!

I agree they will be a thing of the past. The rising cost of postage and cards plus having a nice handwritten style is not something people want to spend time doing. Sadly, seems a nice little courtesy like the cards is a reflection of where things have gone.

I have some of the nicest cards that were reprints from the early 1900's. They're still in the closet!

they look like nice sets of greeting cards. i dont really send out holiday cards anymore, but i do use them for gift cards or cash.......or to give to those people that provide services and "keep me beautiful" all year long. LOL

i do like the all occasion cards and may get a set of those.

I think I'm down to sending about 10 Christmas cards a year now. People lose touch with one another or sadly pass away. A friend I've known for 50 years sent me an e-card for my birthday this year. The first time she hasn't mailed a regular card, even though I mailed her one. It felt very weird to me.

It is a great buy, but I just don't send cards and I never receive cards. They are very cute.

I haven' t sent cards in many years....those cards are pretty but people have to keep in mind they will have to put extra postage on them...not sure if Rick mentioned it....but I thought of it immediately when i seen all those doo-dads on them....and then i read the description and it said some may require extra postage...
