How many Christmas Cards did you get?

[tvguy]

While sending Christmas cards is less common now, seems like every time I was at a CVS or Walgreens in the past month someone was in picking up custom Christmas cards.

We sent 20

We received 11. 2 from family, 9 from friends.

Did you get any?

We got one today, mailed 9 days ago.

Sent zero.

Haven’t sent any in years. When the kids were small we would send photo cards, never sent a traditional card.

Received one. From my financial planner.

Haven't sent any cards in probably 25 years or longer. Used to get 3-4 or so but haven't gotten any in few years. I am okay with not getting any. They seem like a waste to me.

No Christmas card from my financial planner, just a box of Ethel M Candy. HOWEVER he sends a card for every other holiday. His now adult children are both into photography and he has custom cards made for every holiday with photos they have taken.

25 years ago probably was peak Christmas card sending and receiving time for us. Our kids were 13 and 9 so we had to send cards to the families of their friends in school and Little League and Soccer. Great Grandparents, and Grandparents , Aunts and Uncles were still alive and EXPECTING a card.

You did not HAVE TO send cards to the bolded people. There may have been social pressure to do but there was no requirement to do so. 25 years ago my daughters were 9 & 7 and we never once sent or received cards from these types of people. I only ever sent cards to a handful of relatives.

Not a requirement, just a social norm.
