Have you heard from old friend this year? I always get so excited when I get a card for old friends. It's so nice to catch up on all the news. I don't know why we don't get in touch more often over the year but it's very nice to hear from them at Christmas time. How about you?

no, personally I am not in contact with many of my old friends. I know, this is not the best answer to give here but unfortuantely, my friends and I don't have any bond anymore. The reason is usually the same. I mean as the time passes, the characteristics of people change towards something else. And if you're a friend with someone who has some valuable personality, then if his or her personality changes by time, that will mean you won't want to be a friend of that person in future. This is what the basic reason behind my situation.

I hear from them every now and agian throught the year. I know for me I mean to get ahold of old friends but life gets so busy. Sometimes the holidays are the only time I have set aside time to drop them a line to let them know I am thinking of them. I guess maybe I need to set aside time during the year also.

yes,we all so busy.this make me feel sad.i really think i need spend more time with my old friend.i mean,even we leave in different area,we should contact them more.but i don't.cause i'm busy.but sometime,i know that's not the trouble,the trouble is,i don't know what can we talk about?we all grow up,and we have different life,there are not so many thing that we all interest.sometime,i think,when we grow up,we get sth new,and we lose sth old,that's pay of grow,or,that's pay of life.

I talk with a few old friends a few times a year. It seems my generation isn't huge on Christmas cards or such (I am 25), but we do like to chat on the phone. The holidays aren't a good time to do so though.

This year, I actually made contact with several old friends. I got in touch with two of my close friends from high school, and two close friends that live in my old town. It is nice to hear from them and know that they are all doing well.It is also very nice to know that I can pick up the phone and call them and we are all good enough friends that it seems as though we can simply pick up where we left off the last time we spoke.
