Do you put your kid's age on holiday cards?
For example:
Love, Joe, Jane, Kid (2), and Baby (7 mos)
I forgot to do this the past two Christmases but would like to this year since a lot of our family members don't see LOs often and don't know/forget how old they are.
At what point do you stop using months? After 1 year? 2 years?

No, I don't think I know anyone who does this. I would stop with months after 24!

@autumnlove: @Mamaof2: @Smurfette: Haha, really?! I've seen them in cards I've received and thought hmmm I should do that! Looks like it isn't as common as I thought!

@mauxie: I think it's helpful if you send to people who might not be on top of it.
I'd use months up to 1 year. then use years until first grade (if you send school photos)

I think it's clever if you have a large list with people you're no longer super close to, though I don't think I've really seen it done either. I'd use months up to 2 years.

I just started this year because I saw them on previous year's cards from others!

Yup we do this. I think its helpful when include it because I always forget how old everyone's kids are.

I'm going to start doing it 
I am planning to not do months though... just rounding.

I did it this year-- our first year with two kids. I'll only do months this first year for H (he's 6 months come Christmas), and then I'll put 1, 2, 3, etc. for age after that.
People don't care about months after the first 12, tbh.

I haven't done it and only know one family that does - but I like it because it helps when their birthdays come around because I can just refer to the Christmas card to check the age lol.

Nope but I always sign cards with the holiday and year.

Nope! Only because I feel like the people we send cards to know how old the kids are.
