It's just nice to know someone wanted to add at least a couple of personal lines to you. But, I agree, it's a dying tradition probably. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404746 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:50:25 +0000 DillonLion 404746@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope - and no one writes any on the ones they send to us either! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404745 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:47:00 +0000 fairefaire 404745@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: that's probably true :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404732 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:31:12 +0000 Andrea 404732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@alie: Eeeeeeeh. I wanna be mean, it is less work. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404728 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:29:35 +0000 fairefaire 404728@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: You bother because you're nice :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404720 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 10:23:37 +0000 Andrea 404720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@BeachMama: @Beebug: @alie: None of my friends write anything anymore so I don't know why I bother? I blame photo cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404606 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 08:44:24 +0000 fairefaire 404606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, always! I'm with @beachmama on this... if I can't even think of one sentence to say to someone, then they don't need to be on my card list. </p> <p>And receiving a card that doesn't even have a hand-signed name on it always bugs me... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404592 Sun, 18 Nov 2012 08:00:47 +0000 Beebug 404592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, any card (like holiday, or thank-you) has the next closest thing to a novel for a personal message.</p> <p>I don't see the point otherwise! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404471 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 23:26:47 +0000 BeachMama 404471@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's such a pet peeve of mine to get holiday cards without a written message. What's the point of sending me some generic card? I feel like the whole point of sending cards is to say hi, give a little update and wish you a happy holiday. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404439 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 22:43:54 +0000 dagret 404439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually do, but since most people on our Christmas list will get thank you'd from my baby showers about a month before Christmas I will probably slack this year. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404416 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 22:01:49 +0000 bpcmarj 404416@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. Some people, like a great-aunt and my great-grandma, even get a full blown letter with their card! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404401 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 21:40:22 +0000 Andrea 404401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: I always have a sense of annoyance about it, too, but I keep doing it! It seems like a dying practice so I might stop soon. I don't even know if people appreciate the effort. Sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404309 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 19:28:10 +0000 heffalump 404309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes, depends on the card. This year I am because I made Chanukah cards. I could have printed a generic happy holiday message on the back of them ( they are postcards), but I just feel better hand writing so I can personalize holidays. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404304 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 19:18:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 404304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>this will be our first year sending out cards... I might... not sure! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404302 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 19:16:48 +0000 sslm 404302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404289 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 19:07:16 +0000 Mrs. Blue 404289@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, much to my annoyance since that's what I'm working on now. :) I always appreciate getting a handwritten note, so I always add one to our cards. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404278 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 18:58:05 +0000 sorrycharlie 404278@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>nope! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404273 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 18:47:56 +0000 wheres_c 404273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Always </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404254 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 18:19:51 +0000 chopsuey 404254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope! Last 2 years we got the kind that you can add a generic message to the back :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-hand-write-personalized-messages-on-your-holiday-cards#post-404253 Sat, 17 Nov 2012 18:17:31 +0000 regberadaisy 404253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup!
