Disagree. We love them in my family! Every night in December we sit on the couch under blankets with mugs of tea or cocoa and open the Advent calendar with the story and read that, then open the Advent calendar with chocolate and eat that (or opposite order), and then if any cards came in the mail, we read those. My kids definitely "know" their West Coast and overseas cousins who include those letters better than those that don't send them. It gives them something to talk about on phone calls, too.

Love the letters and wish more people did them.

Graduation announcements are fine by me. If I was planning to give a gift, it's a nice reminder. I almost always try to send a card to graduates I know. If it was for someone I barely knew, like a non-close former colleague, I would smile and say "that's cool" and maybe email or text their parent a brief note of congrats but probably wouldn't send a card because it wouldn't mean much to the kid.[/quote]

Same. I love all the things.

We received a HS graduation announcement for the daughter of an old friend. We see that friend maybe once a year and don't know the daughter well. Still, it's their only child and this is a major milestone for both my friend and the daughter. I'm definitely sending a check but don't feel remotely obliged to do so. I want to.[/quote]
