Do you send Christmas Cards?

I send Christmas Cards, but it seems like people are not into this much anymore.  For the last several years I have send more than I received.  I know postage stamps are expensive, but after all it is only a once of year thing.  Do you send Christmas Cards?

@mormel20 Yes, I send cards, mostly people I don't see often that live out of town.

Yes and I put mine out the day before Thanksgiving so that many local friends and family get them on Black Friday.  Now I get more texts from friends and family referencing they received my card but no longer send out cards themselves.  I just like doing it.

No, I can't remember the last time I sent a Christmas Card to anyone. It was long ago.

Bought cards to send, then decided I've had enough of that! Not doing it again. Put the cards in my Goodwill bag to drop off next time.

No.  I used to send cards to my older relatives but they've all passed on.

I still send Christmas cards, but, every year less.

Stopped a very long, long time ago.  Found that I enjoyed the catchup and well-wishing by phone for those who were far away.  Others I would normally see during the course of the month.

@mormel20

Yes, I do still send them. Not many maybe 10 or so.

Most of the ones I send are to friends or family I rarely see and want them to know I'm thinking of them.

 Most of the ones I do send to still like to send them too so it's Christmas card greetings from me to them and them to me. 

 

I did kind of feel too at one point earlier that I might not send them anymore but I did and I'm glad I did.
