How do you decide who to send Christmas cards to? Do you feel guilty if you get a card from someone but you haven't sent one to them? Do you keep a list of who sent you a card this year so you can be sure to send one next year? Do you send a newsletter telling people about what happened in the last year? Have you ever gotten a card from someone that was a total shock? How about someone you are not sure you even remember? I'm interested in hearing people's experiences with cards.

Wow that is a really good idea. How do you ever find the time to do this? 200 handmade post cards. I wish I was on your mailing list for a Christmas card they sound very beautiful.


myLot reputation of 97/100. blueunicorn (1091)   ranked 12 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

That is a really neat idea! I, too, wish I was on your Christmas card list. It sounds like your hand made cards are beautiful. That is really neat that you are thinking about Christmas cards in the spring when you are collecting the flowers.

I always intend to send out Christmas cards, but for some reason I never get around to doing it. No kidding, I am sure that I have Christmas cards in my box that I bought 2 years ago that never were sent.

I would send them to the people who sent them to me last year. I don't feel guilty for not sending someone a card that sent one to me, becuase my family is the only people that send me cards, probably because I don't send cards to everyone else in the world.

People really send newsletters about everything that has happened during the year? Wow, I wish I could find the time for cards let alone making a news letter. I think with all the modern technologies that we have today, more and more people are sending e-cards instead. It is much faster.


myLot reputation of 97/100. blueunicorn (1091)   ranked 12 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

I tend to buy cards with the intention of sending them, too. This year I am determined that I am going to get them out, though!

Sure, people put newsletters in Christmas cards pretty often. Or maybe I just have strange friends and relatives! LOL The cool thing about a newsletter is you only have to make one, then copy it for the cards you send out. I don't do it, though, because I figure I've already shared my news with everyone throughout the year.


myLot reputation of 99/100. LilMissB (612)   ranked 13 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

Blue I will be contacting you next month to see if you really got those cards out. LOL! It is just so hard to remember small things like cards when you have so much other stuff going on.


myLot reputation of 97/100. blueunicorn (1091)   ranked 12 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

Yeah, ummm, I have an issue with that. I went to get the cards out this morning and I can't find them! How sad is that? I know I moved them to a "safe" place so I would be able to find them when it was time to get them out, and now I can't remember where that safe place is!


myLot reputation of 99/100. LilMissB (612)   ranked 13 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

See, I have that problem too. I either can't find them or I forget to send them. How funny!


myLot reputation of 97/100. blueunicorn (1091)   ranked 12 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

I found them! Right in front of my nose on the shelf in my closet where I am hiding the gifts. See, I knew they were hiding!

I keep a 'Christmas card'journal & write each one I recieve & then the following year I send to those people. I also send to my great aunts & cousins even though I don't get one from them as I know they ar e on a very very limited budget. It's nice to remember those people too..Hugs..Lori


myLot reputation of 97/100. blueunicorn (1091)   ranked 12 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

Wow, Lori, you are very organized. I would lose the journal and be searching for it the next year! I'm terrible that way.

Christmas cards. hhhhmmm, our family has never been big on that side of things. Now I have a family of my own, I don't send them either, unless they are ecards! lol. I get sick of buying packets of cards and ending up with hundreds of them trying to take over the house.


myLot reputation of 97/100. blueunicorn (1091)   ranked 12 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

Yep, I have the same issue. That's why I won't buy wrapping paper and things like that on clearance, even though I know I could save a LOT of money that way! I just don't have enough room to store things.


myLot reputation of 96/100. newzealtralian (2038)   ranked 16 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

Not to mention stamp costs! lol. Oh, and having to remember to shove the card into the envelope. i have on more than one occassion sent empty envelopes to people! lol.


myLot reputation of 97/100. blueunicorn (1091)   ranked 12 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

Oh, no. That would be too funny. Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right?!


myLot reputation of 96/100. newzealtralian (2038)   ranked 16 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

Yeah, I think they thought it was funny too. Hey, I had a 10 month old at the time! After that, it went downhill even further, so now I send them through email! Easier to store and recycle too! lol.

This is so funny because I am doing my cards now. I am kicking myself because every year I tell myself to make a list. I always end up forgetting. This year the same thing. Now I have the computer, so I am going to put the list together from this years cards. Each year I will update, delete, and make any changes for next years list.


myLot reputation of 97/100. blueunicorn (1091)   ranked 12 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

As long as you actually keep the list up you will be in good shape! My problem is that I would forget about the list half way through next year.


myLot reputation of 94/100. dloveli (476)   ranked 99 out of 112 in christmas  11 months ago

Me TOO! But I dont intend to forget.lol

For the most part I send cards to my immediate family, since we live across the country from one another. But, I also keep extra cards on hand, so if I receive a card unexpectedly, I can send one in return. I usually enclose a letter with the cards to my family, even though we talk on the phone frequently. I've never received a card from someone I don't remember so that has never been an issue.
