Who still sends paper Christmas cards?

[ChiroDoc]

I'm old fashioned and traditional (surprise), so I never quit sending Christmas cards USPS.
The practice seems to have diminished over the years. I remember as a kid selling boxes of Christmas cards to fund some of the H.S. band's trips. We sold cartons of 100 or 200 cards each! People sent out lots of Christmas cards in those days, and of course postage was only a few cents. These days we probably send out 20 or so.

TBH I'm not impressed by getting Christmas greetings by Email, or even one of those E cards. It's nice to receive the wishes, but it really took little effort on the part of the sender. Soon folks will start using AI generated greetings!...

And it's always nice to receive a little note or letter along with a paper card.

I really don't have anyone left to send them to. I think last year I may have sent out 4, but maybe that was 2 or 3 years ago. For certain, this year the count will be zero. I'll call my brothers and text my grandsons. That's it.

Canada Post is still on strike .. who knows if their Xmas cards will reach their destination.
I prescribe to Jacquie Lawson e-cards, and go through their extensive collection to send to individuals.
I also receive e-cards, and appreciate them.

To each, his own .. paper card or e-card, you were thought about.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

We do. We send cards to friends and family.

 

[katlupe]

Only to the other people who live in my apartment building. Everyone does that. I got 3 today!

 

[MACKTEXAS]

I still send paper cards and always will. I think I better mail them earlier this year. Yesterday I received a Thanksgiving card mailed November 18th.

 

[dilettante]

I read that USPS has stopped forwarding mail to Canada. Probably nobody to accept it and store it all.

 

[jujube]

I do.

 

[Debrah N.]

I sent four this year! Man, the list gets smaller and smaller. I remember when I was a kid and mom would tack a string up high and then we'd hang our incoming cards on it. If you were a really popular or big family, you might have strings on more than one wall!

 

[Olivia]

We do. We send cards to friends and family.

I'll be doing the same in the next couple of days.

 

[Eupher]

I stopped sending paper cards about 3 years ago.

 

[Twostep]

Stopped at the post office today to get them out.

[DaveA]

We do. We send cards to friends and family.

Same here, Patty.

I've sent out all my cards today. I used to send about 8 overseas cards in years gone by but only sent one today. I love to go to the letterbox
to see who still remembers me.

Usually I paint a small watercolor and reproduce it on a card. I haven't done that yet. Maybe tomorrow (or not). I spent Thanksgiving in the hospital and came home yesterday. I might recycle an old card. There are very few to send.

 

[mrstime]

I send one, to a friend who has no computer. Now with the posties on strike I think we will order a gift for her from Amazon, then call and tell her it is on the way.

 

[papa tiger]

Nada -- Send texts.

 

[SeniorSally]

I make my own cards—lots of them. However, I mail fewer than twenty Christmas cards. I am much better at mailing get well and sympathy cards.

 

[Mr. Ed]

My wife does

 

[Aunt Bea]

No.

I send one card a year to my sister on her birthday.

 

[hearlady]

I said I wasn't but I did. I sent about 12 cards.

 

[Tommy]

We mail out a lot of cards. My wife is the correspondent in the family. In addition the family and friends, she good at spotting people who are lonely or in pain and adds them to the Christmas card list. Every card includes at least a note; often a more lengthy letter. I'm so proud of her.

I always send Christmas cards to my relatives. I prefer the old retro style cards. The type that features a Christmas setting that looks like it's from the late 1800's, or early 1900's. People going to Christmas on a snowy evening. Santa by the tree drinking a bottle of Coke while eating some Christmas cookies, thngs like that.
