Re: The Annual Christmas Card Counting Thread

Puppy Lips · ‎05-09-2010

We have received maybe 8 so far. I usually send out about 40 cards. But I think this year I am going to skip it. It has not been a great year for us for many reasons, and I am just not feeling it. I don't think I would be feeing any joy filling them out, so I am not going to force it.

So disappointed... Sent out 38 on Dec 9th...4 days to Xmas and I have received just 11.

I know the mail is slower this year, but...

Sent out 20, received 10 so far. I always say next year I will only send cards to those I received cards from. Never works out, though.

Sent 2. Have received 4 thus far. I ask people not to send to us, but they don't listen.

I haven't counted how many I have received but I sent out about 25. I love doing it to keep in touch with so many people and I will continue every year. I just love keeping the tradition alive!

I never gave it a thought--nobody I know sends cards, and I haven't for years. And this year, knowing the stress on the post office, seems like a good year to refrain. Sorry, I don't mean to imply it's wrong--a lovely custom for those who find it meaningful. I'd rather have a phone call or facetime.
