Don't you hate it when friends mail out Christmas cards before you?

On the other hand, it reminds me to get with the program and get it done.

I hate getting one from someone unexpectedly. Makes me feel obligated to get them one in return and then not have any interaction with them for another 364 days.

We haven’t mailed Christmas cards in about a decade and most of our friends stopped too. Expensive, time consuming PITA. There are a handful that insist on circulating an annual picture of themselves with their kids in the form of a card. Started as babies and go all the way through college and expect grand kids soon for a handful of them. But most of those are done now that we are in our 50s.

There are so many scrooges here, haha

I don't have any expectation from anyone sending me a card because I sent one to them. This is another way to share something with friends that I have not connected in a long time. Similar to how I use Facebook and Instagram to see my friend's families grow.

I actually NEVER send mine before I get my first one. They are always done and ready to go, but I don't put them in the mail till I get one. I HATE being that guy that starts it, so I don't. LOL

I'll be 40 next year. I've never sent, nor do I even intend to, send a Christmas card ever.

Ha, not this year. With a lame horse, a horse that looks like the walking dead, and one that spooks at the camera flash, I opted for the hallmark boxed Christmas cards to send out.

I care about my acquaintances. Everyone I like gets a gift(s), those who are meh, receive a card.
