Christmas card expense

Now that stamps are so expensive so you plan to send many Christmas cards this year?

I give to charity instead. :xmassmile

last year i went to card factory with my list and ended up spending over £25
( i do have a large family)
then £12 on stamps at the post office, there is no way im doing that again this year, i would rather give it to charity

I have cut them out to all except immediate family. Give the money I would have spent to Alzihmers Society instead, all my friends know this and as such I do not expect any either

I dont mind the cost of the cards, I usually buy some nice ones half price in January, its the price of the postage that's the stinger

I tend to buy my cards in jan sales and hand deliver them!! If I don't see family but other family members do I pass the cards to them to deliver to others when they see them this way I save on postage x

I hate the clutter of xmas cards. I think they should be something you send to people far away who you won't see over xmas as a way of exchanging seasons greetings, but its not, you have to give the bloody things to everyone & everyone gives them to you!!!!

I used to think I "had to" give cards but 3 Christmases ago I stopped and explained that I was donating to a children's hospice instead. :snow_laug

I've lost count of the people who said "I wish I could do that".

Maybe it's my age but I don't feell I have to do anything . Great feeling!
