Christmas cards - to send or resent?

Dec 03 08:56am

Kochie's wife says they are too busy this year to gather up fifty cards, write somehting meaningful on each one and send them off to people they rarely see.

Kochie says it's an obligation and you can't just drop it.

Is the tradition worth it? Is your family facing the same issue? Tell us below...

I send e-cards, i create my own in powerpoint, put a photo of us and a short message. Who keeps xmas cards these days, they all get thrown in the bin... what a waste of paper. My whole family now do e-cards as well.

I look forward to getting Christmas cards from people I have made friends with, some I have sent to for the last 30 years,I don't have any other contact with them but is great to hear from them at Christmas.

I received an e-mail Christmas card from LIDO group. It said they were not sending out cards this year but donating the money to charity. I was then given the option to vote which charity was to receive the money. Good on LIDO group.

We are decreasing our list of Christmas Cards based on who we recieve them from - I get sick of sending them year after to year to people who don't bother sending them back. If Koshie wants them to go out - he should write them instead of making his wife do it!

This year we have decided instead of sending Christmas Cards out we are sending a magnet with a picture of our kiddies wishing them all the best for Xmas and the New Year. They are just as cheap and they can be used all year round... The only thing you have to write is the address on the envelope.

It is not an obligation.
We send cards because we want to. Xmas serves as a reminder to us to send a message to those we still love, even if we haven't been in touch for ages. It keeps the contact going.
We don't send cards to those we don't want to.
If you feel it is an obligation, don't do it.

I think sending christmas cards is just a nice gesture at christmas time.. Although you may never see the people your sending to i think its nice to give and receive them at a special time of the year!

Email christmas cards to those who love & live through the cyber world (they'll be pleased... your saving the trees after all)
And send cards via the mail to those who arent. Being traditional is important too, especially to those who are older.
Its putting pen to paper and thoughts into words!!

E-cards are for Facebook friends. Real cards are for real friends. I love getting cards in the mail. It always means so much and it's great having cards from close friends and relatives decorating your apartment. The best decoration of all!

Love Xmas Cards, especially for people I don't see (too far), always write/photo's a little note with what we've been up to and they in turn do the same. What would Xmas be without the Xmas Cards. Years ago I stopped Easter Cards though.

Kurt Fearnley: I was relief teaching in Blayney when I met Kurt as a young school boy. The first thing that struck me was his smile and contagious positive outlook at all times. I see nothing has changed with this outstanding Australian. Although I never saw him again, it is a testament to the power of his personality that I have not forgotten him more than 15 years later.
