Who still sends out cards?  So far we have gotten 3.  Less and less each year.  I think many people just put a general message on FB or other social media and call it a day.  Sort of sad really.  So impersonal.  I guess that is the way of the world.

I still send out some cards to relatives in other states and a few other meaningful people.  Don't send out a lot but I don't "do" facebook and other social media and don't look for greetings out there.  I always write a personal message too.

@bargainsgirl ...I send cards, but fewer and fewer every year. I agree that it is very impersonal to send greetings through social media or by text. 

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.

I still send to special friends and of course, family.

 

Last year we got quite a few.  I know my friends use social media or email cards, yet, I still enjoy sending them w/a small note.

 

My circle of friends (and family) have become smaller over these past few years.

I have always enjoyed buying and sending cards to family and friends and will continue to do so.  Maybe I do not receive as many greetings as I did but I still love my tradition of Christmas cards.  When something adds happiness and good feelings to your life, why wouldn't you keep it close to your heart.  Sending cards gives that to me.

I still send Christmas cards with a hand written message in all of them.  The list is getting shorter as we have lost a lot of friends and family members in the last 3 years.

My Christmas Card list has dwindled to sending 10 cards and I receivie about 16.  I also put money in cards for grands and put the cards in gift bags as that is now their gift (personally I would rather give gifts but they prefer money).

 

I used to send about 30 cards and receive about the same.   Seems sad the tradition is fading.  Stamps now cost .55 cents instead of the nominal amount they did when card sending was at its heyday and those young probably use social media and we older folks have lost family/friends along life's way.  I remember as a child Mom taping Christmas cards around the archway between living/dining rooms with the overflow on the mantle.  Those days are gone for sure.

I love sending and receiving Christmas cards and send them every year with a personal short note on each one. Many people I don't see or talk to over the year so it's just a nice way to stay in touch and let people know I care and think about them. It's something I really enjoy and look forward to all year.

I send Christmas cards every year! My son helped me last night... we put stickers on them, matching labels, etc. We did about 80 and I'm still not done! I have a few to go ... I put a check in my goddaughter's card and write a little note to the cards going to family overseas. 

So, yes, I still send cards! 🧑🏻‍🎄❤️🎅🏻 📬 🤗

Have not written any yet , nor received any yet. Though like others the number has dwindled. Not motivated this year for whatever reason.
