Will You Be Sending Christmas Cards This Year?
Ask a Question
Due to the cost of stamps will be sending cards or just cut down? The cards are cheaper than a stamp, doesn’t make sense.
JLouM I have really cut down over the years and also hand deliver when possible. I think eventually it will die out as my children don’t bother.
I always send Xmas cards. Nowadays I don't have hardly any to post. Deliver the rest by hand
How bonkers is this article.

Apparently if you send more than 75 Christmas Cards it would be cheaper to fly abroad to post them!
blacklabrador I can totally believe this. But unfortunately all the cards are going to different places. I wouldn’t mind hand delivering abroad.
I stopped doing cards a couple of years ago tbh for most people. I’ll give my two kids one but that’s about it as they only go in the bin anyway
EKWilkes89 I have cut down and it is becoming a bit of a waste now. I still send a couple abroad and to my dad if I don’t see very often.
eyeballkerry yeah something like that is understandable tbh but family nearby and friends etc I don’t see the point nowadays
eyeballkerry I think a lot of people are growing out of it now just because they do only end up in the bin anyway
Only to ones I can deliver myself cost of stamps are bonkers and normal urgent mail is taking 2 weeks to get to us!! May have to start posting them at Easter
I send a few cards especially to friends and family I don’t see often. Then I hand deliver majority of the others. I must admit I do enjoy receiving a Christmas card.
I don’t tend to send cards by post , jeeze that would add up! I just give to family members and and neighbours.
my wife will drop a few to the neighbours but thats about it these days. Last time I posted one was about 4 years ago I think
I will post a few this year but it has really decreased over the years. I will also hand deliver to a couple of the neighbours but otherwise it is mainly family that I give to.
Yes..
I will wrote about 14 to partner's family in Portadown Northern Ireland, put them in a big brown envelope, address it to his brother in Portadown & I will take it to the local post office & get it weighed & send it that way ...Saves money..
I will send to family & friends as I have always done, send family's together & walk up to a few mile to deliver
We probably post about 10-15 in the UK and a few to Australia, the others get hand delivered locally.
