I no longer bother. When the postage stamp costs over six times the price of the card it's time to take stock. I find that most are trite and insincere.
It is only once a year for a postage stamp altho I may say I have cut down also in the postings. Not so many now - I did make a mistake when I bought really beautiful cards but because they weren't "letter box size" I had to pay for extra postage so they are just ordinary size now.
I'll be sending more E Cards than ususal this year, I know it may seem less personal to some but I do take time to choose the right ones and add a personal message, it's largely due to cost and I have a subscription with a company and they have lovely cards.
Hi, Nailit....I've received two through the post and thought....that's early.
I have made all mine now and have to sign and address them by the 13th to get them into the Scout Post as most are local......I usually do this at the last minute!
Longer distance will go in about two weeks.....x
I'm not going to send any this year, will be making a donation to charity to the value of the cards and stamps.
(Have been doing that for a few years now)
