We send out lots of cards and now print the addresses off on labels. I deal with my friends, my husband deals with his and we share the remainder between us. It's a long chore which we spread out over a few days, whenever we have spare moments.
To all you wonderful women to seem to do everything at Christmas, why not post a big notice on the wall saying:
" WANTED: VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO:
- Write and send the Christmas cards
- Put up the decorations
- Buy and wrap the presents
- Buy the Christmas food and drink
- Cook the Christmas lunch
