I fall under option 2, a total of 20-odd mailed and half a dozen to be hand delivered. Started with the international ones last week and popped the bulk in the postbox this morning. I love getting cards so like to spread the joy.
Mind you, at 60p a pop for first class stamps these days, it isn't a cheap undertaking!
No.
My wife sends a few out to close friends and family.
No, I hate cards. They're wasteful
While I love Christmas, I don't have a tradition that involves sending christmas card.
I better not have that P, Glitter Berry.
Yep. All my friends and family get the joy of getting a tree-killing Christmas card from me every year.

Recyclable :goodboy:
Yes, just to a select few friends and family: Mom and deployed firends.
Yep.
Maybe less than 12, if the holiday mood suits me. But this year everybody can eat a bag of yuletide Baby Jesus dicks.
:o Monstrously Shocking
I've already FedEx'd you your bag, Scooter.

How thoughtful.
I send one card, to my mother, she nags me mercilessly about it in the run-up to Christmas. Apparently last years card did not make the grade, it was a slightly foxed budget card that I found in my wife's stash. She requires a "decent" card this year. I don't really know what that means though, it is like asking Captain Hornblower to hum an improvised catchy tune :hmm:

You can't beat M&S. Good quality, charities benefit, cheaper than card shops, and you can get one tastefully artistic, mother-specific or both. And they have a three for two on cards and wrapping at the moment :P
Or you could play the kid card (pun intended) like Nick Clegg's family:

As usual, I mucked up one of the cards I wrote last night and put it to one side to be recycled (or until someone's name came up that I could adapt to my mis-writing). By the time I'd enveloped and stamped all the cards, that one had gone missing. So someone will receive a card that says "To P..." and nothing else :lol:
Used to send a lot, but now send less than a dozen, mostly hand delivered.
I haven't spoken to my mother in 5 years, but it appears I've just received a card from her. I'm not drunk enough to open it yet. I may put it off till the weekend.
