Acceptable time for cards?

When is the acceptable time to start sending/giving out christmas/yuletide cards? When do you start giving them out/posting them? :P I am getting too excited this year!!

Anytime in December would be ok in my eyes.

The 16th of December?

Mine are written and I post some of them the first week of Dec and give the others out as and when I see my friends

I used to write mine in the October half term when I was still teaching as I knew I would have little time in the run up to Christmas at school.

Strangely, since I have retired, I put it off and put it off (I think it is because of all the little catch-up notes I have to put into them) and I end up posting at the last minute.

On that subject, a friend of mine sends a "round robin" typed out newsletter to everyone with, perhaps, a personal little note at the end. I used to get annoyed but am now considering doing that myself! Especially to people who don't do email etc.

Noooooo not a round robin! Those short, personal notes mean so very much to the recipients

Definitely agree - I do cards early but add little few personal lines before posting in Dec.


Really hate those round robins things - worse than nothing in my opinion - make it personal or not at all.
