Hi!
I always reply to the cards as I get them.

 

[jcrow]

hum. i hadn''t thought of that. i usually send them all at once to those on my list.

first week of december to my list year after year and then supplement with extras if we receive new ones etc from people who aren''t on my list.

Usually the first week of December and like Mara when we get ones from those not on my list I send them out as I get them.

I use to be very punctual about cards and sent them along with kids'' photos the first week of december. Now, over the last few years, I''ve pretty much slacked off in the card department because organizing photos and filling out all the cards is too much work. Plus, I always stress over dividing up the kids'' pictures. Who do I send the wallet size to? Who do I send the 5 X 7 to? Will the wallet-size person visit the 5 X 7 person and get pissed off that they didn''t get a 5 x 7? (once one of my relatives had a photo of her daughter on the fridge and her brother confronted her for not sending him a photo!

)

Anyhow, I think I''m becoming more and more lazy about the holidays in general. My main focus this year is going to be the after-Christmas sales and all the cute outfits that''ll be marked out! lol

First of DEC, and I got the most gorgeous scrapbook type cards from Costco! I''m so excited to send them!

I send mine out on Black Friday. That way if I realize I have forgotten someone I still have time to get it to them on time.

I just learned postage stamps are going up to .39 cents. Hmmm. If it happens prior to Christmas...I bet you will receive more cards earlier than last year. When gas prices go up .02 cents we all panic...The .02 cent postage increase just may be enough for people to switch to electronic Chirstmas greetings.

How sad. Save your pennies now...and be prepared! Let everyone know they are still worth the .02 cents extra to you.

Just My 2 cents
