When do you send out Christmas cards?

My late mom had a friend who somehow timed her Christmas cards to arrive a day or two after Thanksgiving each year. December first hadn’t even hit. I know a lot of you don’t send them, partly these days due to the ridiculous cost of stamps. Some of you might send e-cards for Christmas, which is a cute alternative. I’m a little exasperated with the post office. I won’t get into it though. I’m sure Canada just wants the post to just not be on strike anymore. So what do you guys do? If you don’t send them, do you put the ones you receive anywhere special? I put them on the back of my front door.

Usually closer to the holiday yours though I will be sending out early next week, maybe it will have a chance to get there then!

Yeah, your card will most likely be the first I send due to trouble I’ve had getting it to you in the past. Last Christmas, I think it took two weeks.

I used to send in December whenever I got the time. I actually used to do them at work on break or lunch when I ate in my office many times. Now I do them whenever I get the chance and in the mood. I was thinking about that the other day and about getting my list together and cards! I used to display them, but we don't get very many these days.

Sounds like a great idea.

@AmbiePam It will be hung on the wall and those who come for the party can also scan it.

I stopped sending Christmas cards a long time ago. But I send personal Christmas message to messenger or email to my friends

I am addressing Yule Tale envelopes right now. Its an aggravating year due to Canadians having a postal strike. Four of mine may not get to their homes until after Christmas. (Happy Boxing Day!)

George would probably get his sister and aunt one early december and just hope it got there before christmas. I don't know what we'll do this year since the stroke and all.

You will proabably get a card with your present, but that's all I'll send this year.

I haven't sent them in a long time. My family agrees that we don't do that...so we don't,and as you say, stamps are so ridiculous. The ones I get I enjoy, but I don't get enough of them to make a display anywhere.
