I notice that too, that not many people send them out anymore with all the social media we have now days. I still send out a few Christmas cards out though.

Yes, but I also noticed getting less and less. This is the first year in many that I didn't do a picture card. Gasp! I just wasn't into it this year.

I haven't the past 2 years just because I've had to let some things go in December...and that was one of them. It's just so expensive! I can get them printed but then take forever to address & mail them.

I used to, but then, like Brittanee, needed to simplify something during the holidays. I enjoy getting them, but it was an easy thing to cut out. Maybe someday I’ll do it again.

Not anymore. I used to feel like I should, but as other people stopped sending them I decided I was fine with doing the same. I have a relative (who's close to my age and much more active on social media than I am) who sends out 300 holiday cards every year. I can't even imagine the time and expense of that!

I used to but it took SO much time and effort so I just couldn't get to it on time 2 years and ended up not sending cards even though I had them ordered and everything. So, the last year I didn't send any (or order them. And this year I've only received 2 cards from people! So, either they've taken me off my list since I stopped sending them for the past 3 years or I'm not the only one not doing cards anymore.

I feel like the art of sending Holiday greetings has changed so much. Everyone I know and love sees our faces regularly on Facebook!

Yes, and I will continue to design and send cards for years to come. We do address labels to make it simple, but I absolutely adore sending cards and receiving them.

I used to - but now Jake is older and doesn't do as much interesting stuff. haha. We don't have a lot of friends and most of the family view sending cards a waste of money.

I love getting holiday cards from friends and family. We sent out a year in review card a few years back, and we just sent out baby announcements in October, so I’m not sure if we’ll get a card out before the New Year.

No. I can say it's because I live overseas, but the truth is even if I did live in the States, it would be one of those things that stays on my to-do list causing me guilt all year long.

We usually do but this year I'm such a slacker. Gemma is in Kindy, so all three of my kids are in school and it's made it so I have completed a ton of projects, but that has also made me super burnt out so.... no cards this year, lol
