Let's talk about Christmas cards...
Christmas threads are popping up but didn't want to hijack any of them ;)

Do you send them out? Snail mail, text, a website, email? How many do you send out? To whom do you? Do you purchase or make them? Do you do traditional cards or photo cards? Do you have them professionally done...

I have not decided yet on my "theme". Have some ideas though :stir: Oranges, holly...

Tell me about your cards :santa:
 
We send out actual cards. Normally Dollar Tree has cute Disney Themed cards.

We also do a Family Newsletter; we try to summarize what has happened each month, especially being a military family.

We opt to hand-deliever some; (we live about 10 minutes from my parents, my grandma, one of my brothers, so we save postage that way)
 
I was always a huge card sender, but last year I was so busy I just never got around to it and noticed the amount of cards we got was much less. I think we got a handful, so it will be another no card year this year too. I think for me, facebook has been the greatest change. Everyone I want to be in contact with, I keep up on facebook so there is no need to do cards and newsletters anymore.
 
Hoping to get a great family photo this November in front of Cinderella's castle! Any good WDW pic of all of us will make my day. Then that will be our Christmas card. :D
 

We always send out cards (about 100 or so). Normally they are photo cards, with a short hand written note on each.
 
I usually send out 50-60 photo cards. I'm a photographer so I just take a picture of the kids and then I use photoshop to design the cards as a 4x6. It's a lot cheaper then printing cards.
 
Ever since having kids we always do photo cards - snail mail - usually about 100 of them between work and friends/family. I love receiving them, too - it's the only "nice" mail we get all year it seems, lol.

I try to do something funny or clever - not just a regular photo.... there are tons of fun ideas out there online I always scour through.
