I was just putting together my holiday card list, to see how many people I actually send cards to... I came up with 39, it seems like a lot, since I KNOW I dind't get that many last year, but, they are all people I feel I should send cards to. I'm hoping to get a nice pic of the 3 kitties and Lexi in front of the tree to send out this year (dobutful... but I'm going to try... photoshop MAY be involved, lol)

How many people do you send cards to? Do you indivdulize them? Do you do paper cards, family photos or kid photos? Do you include your pets names on the cards in the from line?

I send about 50 out each year. I'm a photographer, so I do photo cards. Sometimes I include Nora on it and sometimes I don't. I definitely get gypped in return b/c I only get MAYBE 5 from other people. My mom and dad, my brother in law, my mother and father in law, and my cousin. That's usually it. lol Oh well.

None...
Yep, I am pretty bad... My family is in Brazil, and I realized that I really don't get many, I pretty much only get those sent out of politics (job and stuff), so I do not feel obligated to send it either.

I call everybody on Christmas eve instead.

Here... or There... Hmmm
I've never really counted how many I send out, but I do tend to send a lot more than I get, but that's ok with me. I really enjoy doing it so I get my joy out of sending them, more than I do out of getting them. I presonalize them quite a bit, with markers, stickers, glitter etc. Sometimes and for certain people we do a photo, other we buy the premade cards but I tend to embellish them atleast some. I do always add Kitters on the from line and 2 years ago on one of my brothers presents I forgot to write it and he was like "what did I do, why didn't she want me to have a present? I knew she hated me!"

I send out about 45 I think. Sometimes regular cards but some years photo cards, the dogs are involved in photo cards. We might photoshop in the cat. She doesn't always pose well for group photos.

Last year, I think we mailed out 70-some cards. Most of them have cats on the front, although some of them usually have a Santa. Sometimes, depending on how much time I have, I'll do a card in PSP from the cats and send it to my friends who have cats....I'll just include it with regular card.

I only send paper cards to people who don't have email. If they have email, then I find some cool picture (not of us or the cats), but something Christmassy), then write up a holiday sentiment (not a boring what we've been up to letter) and email it out, letting everyone know this is this Holiday Card from us.

So...send maybe 10 cards, from a boxed set, which, of course, I have to switch back and forth from every few years.

I don't think I sent any out last year, ooops.

I don't even have a Xmas card list anymore, though I am thinking about getting back into sending them this year. I used to love writing out envelopes for my mom at Xmas time.

I only received 3 or 4 last year.
