Anyone still send out these? In today's modern world of instant connectivity it's far easier to call, send a text or a virtual card, but is it better?
I think something that was hand written and sent by that person acquires a bit more significance and intimacy / familiarity.
So, do you still send Christmas cards to people or thrown in with the modern times? I plan on sending a couple, but won't go to the lengths my grandmother would with a gigantic mailing list  |

I will send a few to close friends and family (I'd be in trouble if my nan didn't get a handwritten card).
I love receiving handwritten cards and letters, especially in this digital age that we live in, it just feels so much more personal |

I stopped sending crimbo cards a few years ago, instead I make a donation to a local charity.
I also am not fussed on receiving cards at Xmas because they just clutter up the place....
I promise I am not becoming the Grinch

I agree. Now, are they written in print or cursive?  |

There and to the left a bit |
Anyone expecting a card of any form from me that isn't family (and even then it's selective these days) will have a long wait - stopped doing it 20 odd years ago when I realised I was just sending them willy nilly because I felt I *had* to and was receiving the same in return only to bin/recycle them after Xmas so decided those that I really wanted to send them to I'd buy a pint for and enjoy time in their company instead |

"I still send Xmas cards.
And I make sure they have as much glitter on as possible 
It's christmas after all!  "
Exactly
I always buy a box to send to family etc and to my Sister and neice in Canada.
I maybe old fashioned but I prefer the personal touch of a Xmas card rather than something online.
If there's any spare cards, I write some out to my neighbours, addressed to the house number. |

"My folks and that generation get hand written cards, everyone else I’ve previously designed one I can send electronically.
"
Do you think folks from older generations are generally more appreciative of this? I think so from my experience. |

Definitely, they like receiving a card through the post whatever the occasion, it’s their way. I remember one aunt saying after I’d had my lad “oh how nice, I’ll get two cards now”, and she does, it makes them smile and that’s important |

Can't remember the last time I gave out cards at Christmas. They can be handy for making tags for presents the following year though if you receive them.
Think it's mostly older generations that make it a yearly thing to write them.
It's a lot easier to just send a Christmas message to everyone I think |

Print, because it's neater than my cursive handwriting - but is cursive in style (if that makes sense as long as people can read it it's good) |

No postcards, no decorations, no cards, gifts or trees, no Christmas generally speaking. Just how I like it.
Tbh, the twats I'm spending this year with are lucky I'm feeding them

"I paint, draw or print a dozen or so every year. Just for family and a couple of friends.
I just like doing it. "
Adding that extra touch would make it far more personal |

I send Christmas cards to some family members and friends (generally those of a particular generation) because I know they like and appreciate the effort. I've been exchanging inappropriate Christmas cards with one close friend for almost ten years now, it's our weird little tradition. |

I’ve sent out four plus one birthday card.
I tend not to write many as I used to write out bloody shedloads for my Nan and gramp and it just killed it for me. Was like a military operation.
Find the address book - panic because address book was missing - find it - go through cards received so far and reciprocate - go through address book alphabetically - debate if need to send one to the person they met on holiday in Isle of Man 10 years previously - do they have correct address for Aunt Florie in Sidmouth - Ring Aunt Florie and discover she actually lives in New York now.....
And on and on it went... |
