Are you sending Christmas cards this year?

Yes.
I love sending & receiving cards.
It’s all part of Christmas for me

Yep, me too.

Yes I’ve already bought some for the family. I just love all the traditions.

The best part of Christmas for me. I love keeping in touch with friends and family and you get to receive them before the hustle and bustle of Christmas Day.

Very few.
Sadly hardly any family or old friends left, the list grows shorter every year.
A couple of old and valued friends to post and to local friends and good neighbours will be hand delivered.
The days of strings of cards adorning walls and surfaces, an excuse not to dust properly for a couple of weeks, have long gone.

Yes, but nowhere near as many to post as when DH was alive, but I regularly buy stamps when I buy birthday cards, so I’ve enough to use up.

Yes, I also enjoy sending and receiving Christmas cards. We are away for a few days shortly, I shall take my cards to write in the evening with a glass of wine. Also start my Christmas letter, which I know not everyone on here likes but my family and friends do. One year I decided not to do one and it caused a bit of a stir for my sister as people kept contacting her saying was all ok with me and mine.

Yes, I still enjoy sending and receiving them. But my list is a lot shorter than it used to be.

Yes I am. Probably giving more than posting.

I' m just about to start making Christmas cards, the list is not as long as it used to be, now I only have half a dozen to post, the rest for neighbours get put through their letterbox, but it's nice to give and recieve them.

I will send a small amount, noehere near as many as I used to.

Reasons being mainly that it seems only a few older people I know bother now, and the exorbitant postage costs.

I don't think royal mail do themselves any favours, a lot of folk can't afford the price of stamps, but the price still goes up,
as another poster said, gone are the days when we had strings of cards on the walls,

I probably will send a few, but I don’t enjoy it. I like getting them, though!

I stopped celebrating christmas in 1979 and havnt send a card since. Too expensive.

Yes, but like others, sad at how the List has diminished.

Yes. Love sending and receiving them.

I love all the Christmas traditions so will be sending cards as usual this year albeit to a smaller list of recipients. I love receiving cards and always read them a second time before everything is put away.

I’ve just sorted all Christmas stuff - tree, trimmings, tinsel and you wouldn’t believe how many bottle bags I have…🤭 folks know me too well!

I send fewer cards every year as folks drop (down or off) and one book of stamps does the trick nowadays as most get delivered.

Yes, I love sending and receiving cards. For older people especially those like my friend without a mobile phone I often think the cards landing on their doormat must make their day.

If I could email a card to all my friends, I would, and give the money saved to charity. Unfortunately I don't have email details for everyone. So, I'll be buying several books of stamps and keeping the Royal Mail busy 😉

I send a few to non Jewish friends and workmates, or rather give them rather than send, as postage is way too expensive. The best ever received ones were some very glittery robins.

The jury is still out on that. I've sent them for so many years that it would feel odd not to. However the cost of postage is ridiculous.

Yes I expect so. Went to Tescos this morning to buy postage stamps. They said they hadn’t had any for weeks and have no idea why. Anyone got a guess?

No, I won't. The cost of postage has scuppered all Christmas wishes. Unless someone is on email, they won't hear from me! Bah, humbug!
