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

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 I think a lot of people are growing out of it now just because they do only end up in the bin anyway

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 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..

We probably post about 10-15 in the UK and a few to Australia, the others get hand delivered locally.
