When are you sending out Christmas cards?

[AKL_Megs]

I can't decide... December 1st seems too soon. Sending them on the 7th, perhaps.

I'm sending them December 1. Normally it is later for me. or never, lol. So December the 1st it is. I wrote a bunch of them out tonight. My tree is up, decorated and 3/4 of my shopping is DONE. I am on the ball.

I'm still stamping and assembling mine. I also have to do a photo and get it printed. Dec 7th sounds good to me.

 

[monkeyboy]

Done and sent

 

[Kathi OD]

Normally they are done on BF when the rest of the world is out shopping and then mailed on Monday. For some reason I just didn't do it yesterday, and I didn't do it today either. Maybe tomorrow while watching football...then again, maybe not.

I always send on Dec. 1

 

[TheBigBadWolf]

I always mail mine on Dec. 1. I went to buy Christmas stamps yesterday and the post office didn't have any yet.

 

[disneychrista]

I don't send cards.

 

[luvmarypoppins]

If I get them done before sat. then they will go then. If not they will have to wait until we get back from our Disney trip which will be around the 13th.

I enclose a family picture with most of them along with the family letter update (see the other thread).

I wrote me yearly Christmas letter, signed and addressed the cards on THankgiving afternoon. They're stamped and ready to go. I always send my out after the first week of December, except for the ones going to the UK. They'll go out Monday.

Mine went out friday.

 

[Pixiedust34]

I don't have a specific date in mind. I'll send the cards when they are ready to go, which will probably be sometime in mid-December.

I ordered my Christmas stamps on line (USPS.com) right after I ordered our Christmas cards (on line) Weds p.m.--my stamps came it the mail today! I should get my cards Monday or Tuesday and I will mail them Sat.

This is my plan too.

 

[Handbag Lady]

I don't.

I used to send them out religiously. Then, I noticed a pattern. I would only get one after I mailed mine out.

I stopped one year and only got two.

And that was the end of that! I was so relieved.

My sweet, on-the-ball daughter-in-law has already addressed all their cards! Not sure when she'll mail them, but I'm impressed!

We were in WDW last year from 12/6 - 12/15, so I wrote notes in them and mailed them from Florida. I bought them at the Christmas store in Downtown Disney, but brought along pre-addressed labels. I can never remember if I bought cards on clearance the previous year, so I will wait 'til next week to see if I have any for this year.

 

[LukenDC]

I'll mail mine on December 3.

Christmas season in our household doesn't start until December 15th.
Outside lights go up, as does the tree then.
Do the Christmas cards then.
I'm willing to START hearing Christmas carols on the radio after that date then.

I'm trying really hard to to get into the Christmas spirit this year, but with the radio stations starting Christmas music starting on NOVEMBER 15th
and with the first Black Friday sale being held on the Friday before HALLOWEEN, I'm almost burned out now.

I don't.

I noticed the same pattern. Now I send a handful to a few. Much less stress.

My friend and I are actually going to a Stampin Up Card Making session today. We cannot wait!!!!!!!! We were both demonstrators quite a few years ago and have since sold our stuff and haven't stamped in AGES!!!

So we're getting our cards made today (or atleast 25 of them) and I'll probably mail them out next weekend.
