..I'm with Niamh on this..I rarely send any paper cards anymore, just a few to elderly people in the village who don't have internet but mostly I send E-cards and greetings instead/more environmentally friendly..I did get loads from children at school, like Cherie but they now mostly send one collective card to all of their friends/staff which are displayed on a special card tree for everyone to read...and if they want to, they can make a small donation to a charity for children who are not as fortunate as themselves as to be able to have lovely things at Christmas ...this was all the children's own idea btw...

I still send them and receive them, but I have noticed that the numbers of both are decreasing.
It may be the cost. I used to always receive a hundred or more Valentines cards but that dwindled to just a couple because of the cost - I just couldn't afford to keep buying them, and addressing them to myself took too long quite frankly. :joker::dance::dance: |
I always send cards, special ones for family and friends and then more normal ones for neighbours.
I also send them to long distance relatives and friends with a small note and photographs etc and they reply in the same way, I find it sad that it's a dying tradition tbqh. |

So do I, it makes for part of Christmas to me, I recall when I first started writing my own cards and posting some and giving out others in person and how exciting it was to do so. It may just be a bit of paper but I know I get great pleasure from receiving them, thinking that someone has 'wanted' to send me one and took the time to,so for me no contest. I will always send cards myself. I get a mix, some charity cards and others I particularly like especially for family, I really go overboard for my Mum and Dad's. I actually find it quite sad when I visit anyone and they only have a few cards,it is nice to greet people and you cannot get to see everyone,a card as the ad used to say, can say so much. So like you I am sad to see this dying away. |

We were really discouraged from giving them at my secondary school because of it being harmful to the environment lol, suppose they could have just encouraged us to recycle them instead
