I don't send them out every year, I seem to do them every other year for some reason. I'll usually send them out the second week in December or whenever I get around to it. Christmas cards are one of those things that I don't really give much thought to.
Dh did jokingly say that we should pose for a picture with one of our friends kids this year and use it as our Christmas card with a saying like "We don't have kids so we borrowed this one for this stupid card" just because he hates receiving family pictures like that for Christmas and thought it'd be funny.
We won't be doing that but it did make me laugh.
TTC since March 2012 w/irregular and anovulatory cycles.
Moved to an RE October 2013 HSG- All clear , S/A- Normal , Bloodwork -Normal
My cards are all in envelopes, labelled and stamped. I just received them in the mail today. I'm itching to send them out but DH and I think it should wait until after Thanksgiving at least. Just wondering what everyone else does! Lol
I ordered mine off shutterfly, they should be arriving by Monday. I'll send them out as soon as I label the envelopes. So they'll probably arrive to their recipients either right before thanksgiving or afterward.
ETA Mine are Happy Holiday cards vs Christmas specific cards, otherwise I'd wait until first week of December to send them.
I never know what I want to do for a card, so I drag my feet and am late

We didn't send a card last year. MIL sent one with a picture of me, DH, SIL, and our niece who was 2 last year. Not sure what we will do this year. May just order a lab puppy one from Ducks Unlimited.

Whenever I get finished making them.. usually ends up being the week before Christmas. Sometimes a little earlier. I think this year will be right before Christmas.. I am still trying to decide on the design to use this year and then need to figure out what supplies I still need.. ahhhh
In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!
T-TTC since Dec 2008. PCOS/nonexistant cycles(anovulation) and endo. HSG in '10 revealed both tubes blocked. Lap surgery in Dec '10 to correct. Failed Clomid/IUI and injectable(Bravelle)/IUI cycles so far.
I send them out whenever I get don't making them. That is typically right before we go home for Christmas. I'm going to try to buy the supplies this week and make them next weekend.
Not sure if I am sending out cards this year. If I do we will probably be sending them out the 1st or 2nd week in December. Still unsure. I did receive a few cards AFTER the holiday though. lol
