Christmas card etiquette

jallen76

I got my Christmas cards done early this year.  I was thinking that I would see a lot of family over Thanksgiving and could just hand deliver them and save some stamps.  Is that just wrong? and should I just send them, or can I do that?

I am not sure about the etiquette, but part of the fun (in my opinion) is opening the mailbox and pulling out cards.  

I am sure there will be someone with an idea of what Emily Post would say...

I would mail them. They're Christmas cards, not Thanksgiving cards.

I agree with this^^. Getting cards in the mail is half the fun in my opinion! I would mail them out.

Ok...didn't take much to persuade me.. :-)  I'll hold off and mail them later...just being cheap!

I am hand delivering them to family we are seeing for Thanksgiving. This is the first year I've had them done this early.

I think hand delivering early is fine. I'm perplexed by the ones I get hand delivered at gatherings on Christmas Day or after  :-?

Like they had some extras laying around, so thought you maybe would like one?  Ha!
