Yes - by postI can see where you are coming from with not sending them. However,...
An elderly friend of mine rather enjoys receiving Christmas cards, and they constitute a good 50% of her Christmas decorations.
I donate 'things' to the charity shops. Money goes towards their work but 'things' have the advantage of bringing in new customers as well as money.0 -
Yes - by postI am sending mine this year and giving out as many as possible. I am adding a bit of paper in some to say I will not be wending them next year and asking for their e mail address. The money will go to Dog's Trust instead next year. I feel it will be of more use to them especially as the Post Office has changed.Sealed Pot Challenge 1441

No - saying Merry Christmas on facebook etc - it's freeNo, but I have sent two to old friends I don't see very often and one to my grandparents. I've never liked cards and the clutter they create.Squirrelling away in September No 33It's not about the money, it's about financial freedom, being in control of it and living in the natural world and not a material world0

Yes - by postI make my present budgets a little less so I can splurge on lovely cards and postage - it spreads a lot of cheer.
A cheap flimsy card merely saying "To X from Y" is a waste of a stamp though.0 -
Yes - by postI'll be giving the cards to people when I'm seeing them, and posting the rest.
Probably, I'll be posting about 15 cards.
I don't enjoy writing the cards, I almost have to force myself to do it - it's very boring.
But on the other hand, I like receiving them - when they are all hung up on the line, they make a nice festive display.Early retired - 18th December 2014

No - saying Merry Christmas on facebook etc - it's freeI will send to relatives we rarely see, who live too far to visit. Other than that, I will wish a merry christmas in person. Hate writing cards. I've donated money also, in lieu of.Bossymoo
