I am having the same delima. I kinda got out of it last year cause of DD and we had just finished sending out all the thank yous. I suppose I need to make a decision and soonish....just seems a lota work right now!!!
For the first time, this year I am actually organised! I have all the rellies addresses in my book and last night I started writing out a whole heap and sent off the interstate ones today. (feeling a bit chuffed really!)
I am guilty of buying lots, writing them out and then totally forgetting about the big pile sitting somewhere "safe" when I cleaned out my desk just before jacob was born, I found some from 3 years ago, stamps on and all.....
I just bought 10 from World Vision & 10 from Kids Helpline today, have txt everyone for address' and am slowly writing them out, will post all together next week! This is the first year i've really done it tho! So proud of myself for pulling my finger out!
Yep, I'm thinking of making the effort this year... I have about 5 years of unused/unsent cards to use up! I figure that getting an actual letter/card is so rare for people these days that it will really make them feel Christmassy I say wait until the kids are in bed, pour yourself a nice drink (I'm thinking a Bailey's or two here) put on some Christmassy music, maybe light the vaporiser with a tea-light and start writing! "We wish you a Merry Christmas, we wish you a Merry Christmas...."
Much like Bath said, its a part of Christmas - its so traditional and its been so quickly phased out with email and FB. We make every effort to keep to the traditions we enjoyed as kids for our kids.
I LOVE christmas cards, always nice to get them and know someone was thinking of you
I just started my list organising last night, will write and post out this week
since 2006 we take a family pic and put merry christmas (year) love Jason, Rachel and Jack (obviously this year Luke will be added ) printed on it and print them out...
