I love choosing & sending Christmas cards, I'm already stocking up and adding to my Jan. sale stock.
Frodo ~"..... I wish none of this had happened. "
Gandalf ~" So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us."
Hi, i send cards to friends although i dont have a wide circle, but i dont send to family anymore, it used to cost a fortune sending "special ones" and after my daughter spent her first 6 weeks in hospital i now give the money that i would usually spend on their cards to the hospital charity, they all understand and have no objections.
i'll be sending to family (because i will make them) and relatives (think box from poundland) but i think with e-mail and facebook so accessable now I'm not going to send to anyone else. stamps cost more money then cards at the moment!! at work we always put card money towards charity.
loves how my "I've been censored" signature has been censored. LOL. Happy Christmas. :xmastree:
I don't do Christmas cards either. After 3 years I don't feel guilty anymore. I really do not like getting a Christmas card with a present either. It's such a waste of money and resources! The tag on the present says all that needs to be said, doesn't it?

i dont feel so bad now -a few of us at work have decided not to send them but theres always some who want to. i might suggest the money to charity option.
i dont send christmas cards
i make seeded card and send them instead
i save all the junk mail and use that
like this
i write a poem on them so they know what to do with it
i send you this greeting instead of a card
being a friend of the earth is sometimes quite hard
when springtime comes and no frost on the ground
plant this somewhere nice, and flowers will be found
It used to cost a fortune getting all the 'sister, auntie, brother' cards so a few years ago I started getting a photo card of the 3 kids and sent the same one to all the family.:D Particularly nice for family who live further away and don't see the kids often.
However I don't bother sending to work colleagues etc, I draw the line at family and close friends and that saves me feeling guilty )

I make all my Christmas cards, but I do only send to family and close family friends, and I seem to cut down each year that goes by, so it is getting cheaper for me every year.

I send birthday cards and will keep doing that because it's a bit more personal.
