Re: CPW: Christmas Cards

  • I did not send cards last year.  I intended to but didn't.  I love buying boxed cards but also like the picture cards.  I think this year we will do picture cards since Vinny is looking so cute these days :)

  • We send cards to our clients because my SO thinks its important :-/

    I might keep a Christmas card until Christmas and then they all go to the recycling bin. If there's a heartfelt note included, I might keep it. If it's addressed to Haddock, I'd keep it for him to do with what he will later in life.

    I personally think they're kind of wasteful. I'm not a Scrooge or anything, I just don't personally send them out. Not my thing.
  • We send photo cards, but only of Feli and only to immediate family and best friends/godparents. I'd feel weird sending pics of my kid to people who hadn't gotten holiday cards from us before Feli came along.

  • We send nothing but neither do any of our friends so it's normal in our group. Most of us don't really celebrate Christmas I guess.
  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • I haven't before, but I want to this yr. (photo cards)
  • It depends, if I spend it in Mexico we don't send anything to anyone... if we spend it in Europe, I send cards (no pics) to my family... I guess it's just because they are way more sentimental about it, I know DHs family doesn't care while mine probably cries on Xmas day when I'm not there

    This. Except not every year because it's a lot of work so I missed a few years. I really need to get the pic taken but I would like to wait until Christmas decorations are out because I like doing them outside in a park or something and I don't want to pay a photographer to set it up with their own props. I'm cheap.

  • We send photo cards. That's typical of all my family & friends with kids.
  • We send photo cards.  Speaking of, I need to find my list and update addresses and take some people off/add people.

  • I used to send greeting cards with hand written, personal notes.  Now I do photo cards but I always add a personal greeting

  • We do a little of everything.  Close family and friends get a photo card and photos.  Extended family and friends get a signed card.  We sent out letters when something extraordinary happens... like a baby being born :)
  • Depends. I've sent regular cards and last year I sent a picture card of Zoe. Not sure about this year. I might not even send. It's a lot of work and it seems like most people I send to don't even care.

  • Team procrastinate and send late if at all. I prefer handwritten notes in boxed cards but have a hard time executing it since kids.

    The end of the term grading + Christmas shopping + travel for holidays + Christmas cards = crazymaking.
