Do you mail or hand out Christmas Cards?

I've done christmas cards for friends but don't anymore. I'll probably pick that up. As for cards, they'd probably be mailed out as just for the reason you said the excitement the people experience once getting a card in the mail... it's more fun if you ask me.

I do a bit of both. Last year I was not able to post out cards, I was really busy and I procrastinated and left it too late. Imagine my surprise when not one of the people (friends?) I normally post to overseas sent me a card. I had to wonder if they only sent one if they received one first.

If I am going to see people, I hand deliver them. If not, I mail them. I saves some on the stamps.

I usually send my Christmas cards in the mail. I know there are cheaper ways, and a lot of people just do e-mail Christmas cards, but I think it is nice when people know you care enough to go to the trouble of getting, writing, and sending an actual card. Of course since my parents live near me I can just hand them the Christmas cards. Everyone else though gets the Christmas cards I send them through the mail. *Note that I am not insinuating people who send e-cards as Christmas cards do not care. I don't want to offend anyone who is thinking I meant that as an insult.

Hello my friend I usually hand them out, maybe mail one or two, I always say I will mail never work out that way I think mailing is so much better, love getting cards in the mail, maybe I will do that this year thanks to your discussion its only right Thanks for this my friend, smoochessss

I used to mail out a lot of Christmas cards. Back then postage wasn't nearly what it is now. Just mailing out a few Christmas cards now can cost a small fortune. Now i prefer to give out my Christmas cards personally. Sometimes I will even give them with a Christmas gift.

I mail many Xmas cards as a lot of my friends and family live quite a long way away from me. However, I do have some friends that I see regularly near to Xmas time, and I hand them their cards. - Derek

mailout out christmas cards was one of the first things i cut back on last year when things had already begun getting even tighter for us. i do not buy them anymore or send them as a way to save money. just need to put the money towards other more important things that we need.

i usually just send to friends and family away from here. its usually what they get their money in and now i dont know what they will think. only the grandkids will be getting any money. the grown kids will be disappointed. their going to think geesh, she forgot to put in the money and they all need it more this year

I have not got time to write everyones name and then send them all off so I rather give it to them personally as it's better and shows more respect! Not only that but the feeling is better too if you understand! I give out cards at around 5 December and onwards so I can start preparing now lol because sometimes I make the cards myself

I think I would prefer calling or visiting them and hand out my Christmas card. At least I would have time to chat with them and have a real fun. :-)

I used to mail out all my Christmas Cards but now I just mail out a few and give a out some if I am going to see the person.

HI Rosepedal, Nowadays I never send out any christmas cards to my friends and families. When I was studied at my primary and high school, I used to send and hand out christmas cards to my friends.To my classmates, I will just hand out to them by putting the card in the desk drawer.If to my friend out of town,then I will send it to them by post. After graduating from my high school, I never send out any christmas cards again till now. Sometimes, I just send e-cards to my friends,very rarely.

My close friends live in my town, I usually deliver it to them as well as the people who I work with. When I am sending out christmas cards, when there are people who live in my town or close to it, but have not kept in touch with them for a while, I would send it in the mail. For relatives and friends out of state, I send it in the mail.

I hand most of mine out or pass them on through friends.I do have few to post but we used to post a lot at one stage but quite a few relatives have passed away over the last five years.I actually went through our christmas card list last year and there were not many left,it is times like this that you realise how small the world is getting.Apart from that our post office workers are going on strike quite soon.I don't blame the post office either ,they are making everybodies post rounds longer and stop paying over time,some of these post people will have to walk over ten miles a day and are having thier vans taken away as well.My goodness these are people they will end up taking a paycut because they will work nearly three hours a day with out pay.We get terrible weather in England ,most of the rounds are in country areas.mile's with out a house,down country lanes on their own .I certainly would not fancy it,I can tell you.

OMG is it that time already?? My mum is the one that usually does all the Christmas card sending. She just rings me and says "who do you want to get a card" and I'll be like "whoever mum" and she says "ok" and she sends hundreds of them.. I'll probably just send an e-card to one or two friends but am too lazy to do that so got mum to do that for me

I typically mail all of my Christmas cards. This year though, now that I'm married, it's going to cost an arm and a leg in postage to send all of those cards! I love doing it though, so I still will. I just feel like it's more exciting to receive a card in the mail.

I have to do one by post as they live miles away from me,but all the other cards i tend to take myself to my friends as i think that is more of a personal touch.I see most of the people that i give cards to most of the time and to be honest i get lots of cards so now i tend to cheat and write lots out and then if i have forgot any i only have to write their names on the envolope.

hmm neither, i am not a christmas type of person, i am not a fan of the festive season. i would be more liable to send out a halloween card, via email or snail mail

i am mailing them. if it is a christmas card i thought for someone, i mail it. if it is a gift i am thinking for them, i hand the gift to them, with the christmas card (to those i feel i would send to). with the christmas card, u feel u can write more greetings and thoughts on it.
