Send out Christmas cards

“For probably 15 years I sent our photo cards. First funny ones of our pets and then when my daughter was born we did more formal ones with photos of her. Last year I think the cost of cards, stamps and envelopes was close to $200. But I loved doing it. This year I realized I didn’t really like half the people I was sending cards to, my daughter is 11 and isn’t into posed formal portraits anymore, and it seemed like a lot of work. We also have gotten way less cards through the years, I do think it’s falling out of fashion overall.”

“As I was addressing my Christmas cards this morning, I just was curious how many people actually sending out Christmas cards anymore? I have sent out cards every year since we got married in 1982. That is normally my day after Thanksgiving thing along with decorating my tree. I was a little late this year but they are done. I actually have a friend on the list that she knows Christmas has started because she got my card.”
