I miss Christmas cards a lot. They remind me of when America was still America. +1. I still by a box and send to friends and relatives. Hate any sort of e-cards. phony lazy chit.

I don't mind getting Christmas cards. It's the 4 page (front and back) brag letter that some relatives have to send every year that I hate.

Emails, and phone calls have pretty much replaced the cards. As said, god days in America back when.

The wife sends cards with a "newsletter". I have been assigned to do them, and I try very hard to make them unlike most others.

Look at the bright side. It gives you something to do.

It sat on the valence above the front windows.

.....the annual Christmas card selection/build nightmare??? Wife INSISTS we hafta have a card.. Fine. She's a ".1" on a scale of 1-10 when it comes to computer use.. She uses Shutter-fly (actually a good site).. BUT - and this is where I come in... I gotta help her 'find' the damn pics, then help her figger out a card, then help move the damn pics over to the card...and then yada yada yada... Grrrrr.
Me? I'd just buy a box of generics and I'm DONE...
Rant over.. I'd just drink a beer and forget the whole card matter entirely.
l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot. Make your life go here. Here's where the peoples is. Mother Gue, I says, the Rocky Mountains is the marrow of the world, and by God, I was right.

Walmart is the place to do cards in a normal year. It's so easy on their machines. Of course during Corona Days they aren't available. My wife would be .01 on the computer Literacy scale, on a good day. We have to help her with that too but you upload pictures, then it's a bunch of tapping. Super easy. Wife is working 58 hours a week so Xmas cards are probably out the window unless I do them. Which I dont really mind, sounds kinda fun. Thanks for the idea, fellas.

I can take the cards. It’s the obligatory pre card photo shoots I hate.
Nobody wants to see my ugly azz on a card anyway.

Those cat cards are creepin' me out!
I still enjoy sending and receiving Christmas cards. It was a huge deal to my mom, so after she passed away, I felt an obligation to carry on with her card list. For the 12 years since, I've been exchanging cards with people I've never met. Sadly, the list grows shorter every year as her friends and family members grow old and pass on.
