Non-clicky poll: Christmas Cards

If you send a photo card, do you write anything/put anything on the back?

I've seen cards with nothing, a quick "I love you" or "Hope you're doing well," and a whole blurb about what is going on in the senders' lives.

What are your thoughts on any of the above?

If it's like a great aunt/uncle or grandparent, I do write a little something because they care about letters. Otherwise I don't because most people are just going to go, "Oh that's nice." and then hang it up in their collection.

I'll usually add a little note on stationery for people who I know appreciate those things.

I never added anything on my photo cards.

This is what I do.

We've only sent out photo cards once and I didn't add anything. If I send them again the future I'll probably add a little note.

I rarely do them, but if I do, I always write a note. To me, if I wouldn't write them a note to wish them happy holidays, I'm not sending them a card. Unless you have a Duggar of kids (yes, I'm using that as a unit of measurement) and don't have any time to write SOMETHING, it comes off to me as cold or show-off-ish, depending. But I have been told that makes me a Grinch.

That's hilarious.

We don't send out holiday cards.  If we did a photo card, I'm not sure if I would take them time to write something.  Whenever we receive them, I take them out of the envelope, exclaim how cute the picture is and then add it to the collection.

I should qualify that when I just had my family, so 40ish cards, I wrote something on most, varying in length. But when I gained another family and his stepfamily, which in itself is about 30 people, plus his regular peeps (20) plus his friends (15), I stopped writing messages. I'd rather be thought cold than deal with carpal tunnel
