I only get cards back from my sisters. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-holiday-cards-do-you-send-out-vs-cards-you-receive#post-1203772 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 05:02:52 +0000 Andrea 1203772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only send people who send to me, with a few exceptions. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-holiday-cards-do-you-send-out-vs-cards-you-receive#post-1203763 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 04:33:10 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1203763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I send way more than we receive. Hardly anyone from the States actually send one back! Hmmph! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-holiday-cards-do-you-send-out-vs-cards-you-receive#post-1203704 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 02:14:09 +0000 Kimberlybee 1203704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@heartonastring: I save every single photocard that I receive but I recycle paper cards. I also feel our generation is losing the tradition of Christmas cards and writing letters. My cousin is a 1st grade teacher and said handwriting is not even on the curriculum anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-holiday-cards-do-you-send-out-vs-cards-you-receive#post-1203703 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 02:10:54 +0000 Kimberlybee 1203703@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I get about the same amount of cards that I send out, 30-35 cards each year, I send it to the same friends that have exchanged cards with in years past. However, this year I plan on sending out more b/c I want to send it to everyone that came to my baby-shower also. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-holiday-cards-do-you-send-out-vs-cards-you-receive#post-1203639 Fri, 08 Nov 2013 00:23:36 +0000 birdofafeather 1203639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We send about 100 and get maybe 30/40?

We don't live near family though, so it's a good way to keep in touch - I try to write a nice recipient-specific message in each one so it's worth the time and effort! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-holiday-cards-do-you-send-out-vs-cards-you-receive#post-1202765 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:31:53 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1202765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We sent around 80 and got under 40. I'm only sending this year to people that sent to us! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-holiday-cards-do-you-send-out-vs-cards-you-receive#post-1202762 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:31:18 +0000 heartonastring 1202762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We definitely get fewer than we send. I feel like our generation is losing the tradition of Christmas cards. Also, most of our friends don't have kids yet...I feel like people are more likely to send cards after they have kids, because then everyone wants to send cute photo cards! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-holiday-cards-do-you-send-out-vs-cards-you-receive#post-1202760 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:30:57 +0000 jmarionsmith 1202760@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we send out about 25 and get around 20ish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-holiday-cards-do-you-send-out-vs-cards-you-receive#post-1202744 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:27:24 +0000 GrapeCrush 1202744@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we sent out about 50 cards last year and didn't get even half that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-many-holiday-cards-do-you-send-out-vs-cards-you-receive#post-1202734 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:24:04 +0000 BSB 1202734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I send out way more holiday/ photo cards than I receive. I still use my wedding address list. I don't get nearly as many cards in the mail anymore. I like getting mail! I know cost of postage and the internet is part of the reason why people don't do it anymore. </p> <p>Last year, I think I sent out about 60+ cards and got about 20-25 cards. I think I should reduce the number of cards we send out.</p> <p>Although, since we moved across the country, Christmas is the one holiday where we make contact to people we haven't seen in a while. </p>
