Re: Do you send holiday cards?
I always buy them to send, but have only successfully sent them once. (Last year as a joint baby announcement.)
We don't receive too many now that we live here.
I've never sent holiday cards. My mom gave me some great advice when I was a kid: she told one stressful pre-Christmas day while she was rushing to get all her cards out, not to start sending cards as it's a pain in the butt. I seriously took that advice to heart!
I don't receive any cards. I know the people I care about and who care about me/us think about us over the holidays, I don't need paper proof.
I do send a personal email to friends and family to wish them happy holidays etc...
I don't do it. I have little fantasies of doing it now that H and I are officially a family (and to show off our dog), but I doubt I'll follow through. I'm not all that Christmas-cheery and it's a PITA that I've always been too lazy to do. I doubt this year will be different, especially as we are moving from Tstan to the US in mid to late December.
I receive some from a few people and I guess it's nice, but mostly it just makes me feel guilty for not reciprocating.
Yeah, I do. I always have too (i.e. pre-H). I don't know, it just seemed like the 1x/yr I caught up w/ everyone. Seriously, I'm nutty w/ holiday cards-- my first job boss (dry cleaner cashier) and I still xchange cards (I've been gone for 17yrs).
Heck, we (aka I) just order 30 ceramic ornaments to send out (buon natale--and yes, I'm lame and send ornaments saying that to our non-Christian friends... it's more a 'we're thinking of you' thought than shoving Xmas down peoples throats, it's just Happy Holidays doesn't really seem to translate down here. Thus far none of my friends have been offended)
Does it count if I plan to every year?
I always want to buy cute Happy Chris-makuh cards and send them out from our little interfaith family, but never do.
I don't think "it's the thought that counts" applies to thinking about sending holiday cards, huh?
My Israel Blog!
Nobody loves me, everybody hates me
I bite off the heads, and suck out the juiceThink I'll go and eat worms
Long ones, short ones, fat ones, thin ones
See how they wriggle and squirm
And throw the skins away
Nobody knows how fat I grow
On worms three times a day
Ohh...nobody loves me.
I'm glad there are others out there in the same boat. I have several year's worth of really cute cards, some even addressed. I write Christmas letters and then don't send them. I don't get myself. Ah well....
I never knew all the lyrics to that song. lol. It gets violent!
