My wife sends out about 100 damn cards for every holiday. I don't know how much I have spent on professional pictures and card stock prints. But, it makes her happy I guess.


Try a tri-fold color card with 6 separate pics, a message and a sitting with the photographer. then we order pics as gifts. Probably $1500 a year in Xmas cards if i had to guess.

The ones I enjoy the most are the ones with a typed little brag blurb on their kids they throw in with the card Does anyone else get these? So ridiculous.

And yeah you send them you get them. My wife's a Christmas nerd and pretty social so she orders and sends like 150 a year.

I think they because of the proliferation of digital images and how easy they are to send and receive, the old Christmas cards are kind of obsolete. It's too bad though because as an amateur photographer, they were fun to shoot.

I don't doubt it. I imagine I am close. I don't even bother to ask because I don't want to know.

We send out over 100 every December 1

We hire a photographer to come to our home and take Christmas themed pictures in mid November

Christmas cards were the pre-Facebook way of seeing if the old girls and family friends you knew growing up had gotten fat or not.

We had a blonde who I wanna say was one of mom's friend's daughters who mother of god got hotter every damn year. Always used to love getting their card lol.

Turn on the TV and watch the Christmas podium. The economy will get so much better folks. This I can tell you. People will be merry and send out Christmas cards again.

Do not send the- Katie is taking flute lessons and Jonny is in stick ball, Kyle got all A's, and KellyAnne started her period, you will be going to Aspen- and you got a puppy cards. PLEASE!
