Who Do You Send Your Xmas Cards To?

Of course there's always friends and family on the list first, but who else do you send them to? Have you ever considered giving a card to a company that you regularly do business with? Or how about your neighbor? How about that mailman or mail-lady? Since I live in a town with a population of 3,000, I hand-deliver to: my bank, the veterinarian, feed supplier for my donkeys, my electrician, the girls at the local tobacco shop, the employees of Dollar General and Family Dollar, my hairdresser, my part-time job at the newspaper, the local sheriff and police departments, my doctors office and my water company. I also always include a brief note thanking them for their service to me and the community. You would be surprised at the smiles and thank-you's of appreciation. So this year, just give it a thought.

I send cards only to some of my friends. We exchange the wishes with family in person.

The area I live in doesn't have any festivals which are enjoyed at your places. So it's hard. But though I share cards on facebook to my friends. Me myself will be working on this Christmas.

@nanette64 I am in IT field, and we can't let business go down on X'mas day/holiday so we have to provide support to the employees and customers.

I like the idea of hand delivering them. The cost of mailing out cards has gotten astronomical!! I have presently about 10 on my list... most family.

The maillady's gift/card is sitting waiting for the right time to give it. The dental hygienist got hers and her gift the other day. Same with the beautician I don't get as carried away as your list LOL! My whole county doesn't have 1,200 people and if I were to give/send Christmas cards they would probably look at me like I was loony tunes.

@nanette64 I don't give them gifts as bribes - I give it to them because they treat me/us well.

You are too good @AbbyGreenhill . I'm glad I'm not the only one. And who knows, maybe those folks will remember us doing that and give us a free-be or discount. Maybe, lol. I thought about sending the Mayor one, but I hate his guts.

I exchange cards with my fellow employees. I mail out cards to some people on here and to a few of my facebook friends. I don't send a lot of cards because of the cost. The postage here is ridiculous. I like the idea of what you do. That is great.

It definitely makes it easier to buy a box of cards for $2.00 and hand-deliver @Happy2BeMe .

My mom usually give gift cards or gifts to people that touch her over time. I, on the other hand, only gift Christmas cards to my girlfriend. I am not that showy I guess but I so love my parents and family.

Great idea about the Christmas cards. The town I live in is quite small also, so I could hand out some cards to the people I encounter all the time.
