Christmas Cards

[Maydup]

Tonight's the night .... when I sit and write them all. I best get on with it before it gets too late. Done yours? Or maybe you don't send them at all?

[sherrardk]

I don't send any - no one to send them to. Fortunately, all the kids are now old enough to do their own :)

[Prudie]

That's a job for later in the week.Yes I send them to family and friends I don't see very often. The ones I do grudgingly are returns for those I get from people at work I see every day. I don't see the point but it's rude not to respond.

Mañana

[Cloverjo]

I've got to do it soon. It's a bit of a chore, but I suppose it has to be done. One year I couldn't face it at all. I don't know if anyone noticed.

[Baldric]

///Christmas Cards/// I think that's a phrase I've heard my Wife mention.

[pusskin]

Will write cards for abroad tomorrow, then send in the post.
Then write tons more for my large family and friends.
Must admit.....finding it a bit of a chore as I get older!

[Psybbo]

Baldric like your good lady, it'll be down to me!

Not for another two weeks.

I inherited the job after I finished work,as my hand writing since my stroke is vrtually illegible I always buy the cards the same size and bang them through the printer.I've created a mixture of massages in several different fonts half an hour and the jobs done,envelopes and all.

[tonyav]

Hang on and I'll ask Mrs av if their done yet.


Good idea that, paddywak.

[DTCwordfan]

Just finished today, 40 for me, 27 for the mater and I have had to do the envelopes and a message as to her big A, this being the first time that her writing has revealed that she has something wrong...... I also prefer cards that are hand-written as to contents and envelopes - it's too easy and impersonal to print them off.....

Anyway, all done, and thank god, if you believe in one.

[paddywak]

DTC,I too would prefer to write them by hand,especially as I won prizes for my writing when I was younger,but as I said I had a stroke which left me barely able to hold a pen and my writing now looks like a spider has dipped its feet in an ink well then walked across the paper.

[DTCwordfan]

I can understand that paddy, but if your writing is still legible......... the mother's is a bit scrawly and she is losing her ability to spell....

[Maydup]

I have about 40 to send and a dozen to pop in the letterboxes around the neighbourhood. I've done the ones to post abroad and now I've made a start on the rest I'm on a roll!

Mostly going to extended family and a few to ex colleagues.

[paddywak]

It starts out legible (just) but by the time I get to the third or forth it's not.I've been doing it for fifteen years now so people understand.

[DTCwordfan]

A few immediate family ones to do.....tomorrow is getting the overseas pressies off - and a few UK ones too....the first wave.

[Tilly2]

I did all mine last week and bought the stamps today.

The stamps are now on the envelopes but I need to go to the Post Office to by additional stamps for those 'Special' big cards that I have bought for special people.

[DTCwordfan]

well it's all about maximising what we can do, paddy, and that is what is appreciated, I am sure.

[DTCwordfan]

I 'did' the foreign ones today.....ouch.

[Elina]

Just one so far ... to my grandaughter .... I've stuck a pic inside of nanna & grandad .. she's too young to understand who wrote it .. or what the occasion is ... but it has a cute scene on the front that she can look at.
