slo’s THURSDAY 5/5 poll - Mailing Greeting Cards

[bobbiwoz]

I do, and sent out 6 just this week for friends’ birthdays. One friend turns 80 next week!

One cousin’s birthday is nearly the end of the month. That one will be sent later.

I don't send out cards anymore. I think it's a dying art.

I'm not so sure. With the pandemic the volume of cards we have received has gone way up. And for holidays I would not expect to get a card for. One of my Fraternity Brothers sent out an Easter Letter and photo card because they never got around to doing it at Christmas.

Here's a Cinco de Mayo card to all!

It say "Hugs, Enrique" but those two words are my Spanish name.

PS:

As the DJ on Sirrus XM just put it....."the only day it is a good thing to have Corona"

I'm absolutely terrible at it and I feel so guilty. I send a lame text on people's birthdays, but that doesn't work for everyone.

Try to keep up this tradition

I don't typically mail them. I send e-cards, and give them in person, though. The exception is sympathy cards - those I send with a thing (usually snacks).

Yes!! Love sending and getting greeting cards in the mail. As a military fam, that was sometimes the only way we'd be able to "celebrate" a bday or holiday. LOVE USPS!

I primarily use ecards, but always send a physical sympathy card when the need arises. I like that you can usually schedule ecards ahead of time, but have the option to send one last minute too.

I am terrible at it

I have great intentions. My problem is that my brain doesn't want them to get it too early, and I often wait too late.

Pretty good at birthdays. Horrible at get well, holidays, etc.
