    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.....

    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...."

    DH and I make ours. Its so personalised that the family keep them. For example, this is the last photo we used.

    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.

    Mine are all written out and addressed and stamped - just waiting on some photos for some cards and then they will all be posted.

    I love sending christmas cards - there is something special about recieving cards in the mail
