Christmas cards

Most people cut back at some point and 150 does seem excessive unless it's a business. Apart from family I would ditch people that you never see and just email the others with your plans to reduce the number of cards.

I post around 30 to family and faraway friends but wouldn't mind an e-mail at all - in fact it makes financial and environmental sense.

I have cut mine down drastically. From well over 100 I now send about 30. Quite a few of my friends and relations have done the same, the cost of the stamps is outrageous.

In these tough times financially I am sure they would understand. They probably are thinking along the same lines.

Last year a lot of people I know sent me messages on FB,texts etc that they wouldn’t be sending cards but donating to a charity instead. I understand the reasoning behind this but was sad to see the dwindling number of cards to display.
