Do people still send Christmas cards?
I used to send out a lot of cards every year but really scaled back in the last few years and don't plan to send more than 2 or 3 cards this year.
What about you? Do you still send cards? Have you scaled down in the past few years?
Also, for those folks under 30, have you ever sent out cards?
Thanks for your responses --- I'm just wondering whether I've turned into Scrooge or just following the trend.

1. I sent out a handful of cards to the US six days ago.
Wondering if they will reach their destinations in time for Christmas.

2. I send thank you cards for gifts I receive.

I don't send out cards wishing people a "Happy Holidays."

edit :: I turned 30 a few months ago. If I care enough to send a card I will send a gift.

3. I've gone through spurts over the years
Edited on Sun Dec-16-07 10:11 AM by hippywife
but more years than not, I don't send any. I'm just not inclined to go through that whole process that I used to assist my dad with when I was young. Plus, I'm not inclined to celebrate Christmas anymore. I wish I could take a nap around Thanksgiving and wake up a week or so into January when all the hype is over.

5. I send about 30 each year
I tried to leave a few people off the list this year and then I got cads from a couple of them, just in time to rush them one too :eyes: I kinda wish I'd never started sending cards but there are a few important people who I don't keep in touch with any other time of year so I need to keep it up I think.
I have a theme, I buy pretty animal cards to send from now on, or cards about peace.
