2025 Holiday Card Round-Up

[Anonymous]

Are you still sending?

Receiving?

How many?

I know it’s early and many people haven’t sent their cards yet, but I feel like last year I noticed a dramatic drop in numbers. I’m curious if those of us who typically send/receive can weigh in with an update on what they are seeing.

Fwiw, I’ve noticed multiple people posting comments on social media this week along the lines of, “Hats off to all the moms still sending holiday photo cards” and “Please don’t cut me from your list just because I haven’t mailed a holiday card in a decade.” That’s what prompted me to post tonight.

About 80 personal and 80 work. Just dropped them off.

I received 1.

I am going to send mine out after New Year's. I make photo cards and don't have any good pictures.

I don't get any so I no longer mail any.

I sent out about 90 personal cards on Monday. Will be sending about 250 Happy New Year cards for my husband’s business. Thus far have received 3.

I've mailed 60, maybe another 20-30 to go?

I’ve received about 10, all photo cards with absolutely no personalization or genuine greetings. I only send a very few fully handwritten, non-photo cards to people.

40 out, received 2 so far

To me a photo card is sufficiently personal. I like getting pics of friends and kids. Realtors and insurance agents don't send vacation pics.

We send 70-80 but are breathing this year. I like to DIY mailing them bc I write messages on some or have kids write or doodle. But this month has felt like a mess.

I’m still sending but get fewer each year. I love getting them and hope the tradition doesn’t die out.

No, I quit sending a few years back. No regrets!
