Snail mail Christmas cards, do you ?

That is one of my fave things to do for the holidays. I love to go thru my address book and write a quick note to people I have known over the years. I also buy cute stickers to jazz up the envelope. How about you ?

I send them and usually put stickers on the envelope, I never thought about the confetti, so thank you for the idea This year though I am finding it hard to write out the cards and the notes only because I can't seem to get into the Christmas spirit due to this being the first Christmas without my brother.

I always put confetti in mine too. It's really funny. People actually look forward to it. One year, I didn't put confetti in and I got several comments about being disappointed. I also have some people who wait for my card to arrive, so they can send the confetti back in their card. Simple minds, simple pleasures.

Usually I try to especially since I love receiving them. I love it when there are family photos in them too!

Yes, I send them out every year. I love receiving them too, although not many people seem to do it anymore. I love when people include a picture of their family or pets. I don't like those long form letters though. ~Lisa

I do mail them out each year, and look forward to receiving them as well. I usually send out about 75 or so.

I very much look forward to sending them out and appreciate so much receiving them. I don't understand those that receive them year after year, but do not send them out in return. I also love receiving a photo of family and pets.

we usually send one out. The last 2 years have been engagement pics and wedding pics
This year will probably be just the 2 of us sometime in the past year in the picture, but I do love to receive them too and hang them in my house.
