I'm sure some people enjoy getting them, I just don't qualify.

When people sent Christmas cards years ago we always got one from a cousin explaining their past years kids accomplishments. We haven't gotten one in a while.

Used to get half a dozen or so in Christmas cards. We significantly culled our Christmas card list over the last couple of years so the number of cards we receive has declined quite a bit. Now we don’t get any of those letters.

We haven't done cards in probably 5-6 years.

I think that is another thing that social media has almost killed.
No need to send that letter so everyone knows what little Johnny did this year when it is all out there on the web. |

My wife does one at Christmas that is focused on the kids. I got one line... "Buzz is still blah blah blah".
She sends it out with the Christmas card to about 15 people. Everyone else gets just the card. |

I figure it this way: if I don’t bother to keep in touch during the rest of the year, what makes somebody think I ****ing care about their family newsletter?
It’d be nice if they start writing the letters on triply ply so I can at least put the paper to good use. |
