Rb

I don't actually know anyone in our generation who would be sending them either, must just be a tradition(like many others) that our generation have chosen to retire.

Will be interesting to see what the poll says when it reaches a decent sample size.

Ah there's something extremely christmasy about sending and recieving cards.

patrickc

myself and my girlfriend sent loads out today, it's still the done thing

MagicMarker

As in, via the post? hahahaha, surely you jest?

Mossy Monk

Waste of money, can't be bothered.

Nightwish

No, I'm just not arsed. I've noticed that my relatives and friends dont seem to get as many either. The only ones recieved are ones that are from overseas.

leninbenjamin

chirstmas cards aren't environmentally friendly. if i had friends i wouldn't send any.

Fast_Mover

My parents send/receive them.
I don't. Will send seasons greetings to all my friends via text messages on web-text.

Next year i'll start as I'll have finished college/be in a professional job and will want to send them to all my friends from college.
I love sending cards/letters etc..cant wait!:)

Ruu_Old

I send a few, nice to get them from people you think have forgotten about you.

Dave!

Christmas... e-cards...?

No I don't send Christmas cards. My folks do though.

Black Swan

To family only, cause they would be hurt if I didn't. But not to friends or lovers. The manufactured card with it's Hallmark quote that's repeated to millions is sooooo plastic and superficial. (I guess that puts me on Santa's naughty list, with the rest of the fun people?)

humbert

I'll send a few to friends abroad. Received one from a Korean friend a few days ago and it really cheered me up!

l3LoWnA

Yep I love sending & receiving Christmas cards especially from old friends who you don't see as much anymore! I send little tiny cute ones to all my girlie friends and bigger "proper" ones to the boys and family people!

Got special "Granny" and "Grandad" ones for my parents and spent ages with my daughter today writing them/drawing pics on them - just special y'know!

I've done mine today and they're going in the post tomorrow! Sending one to my ex & his family just to stir the pot a bit now that I hear he has a new woman I love stirring the pot a little....I'm such a bitch :eek:

ericl

Just to the nieces and nephews their at the age were they just want money, so always a few quid in a card.

phasers

I used to but I'm at the age where I just cant be bothered anymore

if you have to post a card to somebody you don't see them enough to warrant a card

if you can give it to them then why the f*ck are you giving them a card

_blank_

Nope, waste of money, time and paper.

xzanti

I give a card to my bf and immediate family and that's it..

Cathmandooo

I've sent 3 this year, cos two friends moved into their own places and one to my godfather for the first time. I'm not good at sending them. I'll prob send them properly when I move out of my folks house, mam puts my name on all cards she sends out, sweeeeeet

Waste of money I agree, I hand the ones to immediate family, they all post them...and live down the road practically, saps!

Exactly, it's a lovely tradition. I think when people are settled and have their own home and family they're more likely to send them.

Jesus Wept

I'm going to send a christmas pm to every registered member on boards.

Can one of the admins add a 'msg all' button. It would make the task quicker.

The Real B-man

E-Cards FTW!!!

WindSock

Yes sent a few off last week. Most of them went overseas though. I like pretty christmas cards, me. I would buy the charity RNLI ones aswell sometimes.

deRanged

I sent a few, just to good friends.

Shiminay

Shockin' waste of money IMHO, don't tend to bother with cards of any sort with the exception of a Valentines card (if I have a girlfriend) which I'd always hand-make.

Rob_l

I sent three
One to my littlest sister who has flown the nest and left Dublin for the boglands and i know it was very warmly received and definitely cheered her up.

And two I sent to girls I know and also were very well received and unexpected.

Solarball10

Yeah, we send out xmas cards to close friends - i think it's nice to do!

Tar.Aldarion

No, don't be offended when you don't get one.

misswex

I love the tradition of sending and receiving Christmas Cards.

Long may the tradition continue

littlebitdull

This is the first year in ages we have actually sent any cards. And thats only because I happened to be sitting down with the smallest child making them, so it felt kinda silly not to send them after doing that.

cance

the missus sends them, i loathe the idea of it.

just pick up the phone and spend the x amount of cents per stamp actually talking to these people rather than sending them a half arsed card.

nialo

Always think of sending xmas cards as something my mother does. Never did it myself. Got a card in the post the other day and was extremely surprised! dont know if it means i have to send a reply now thou!

bragan

I sent some to my family and friends and my partners family and friends. I love getting them. I'm rushing home to check the post these days Opening christmas cards is like opening presents for me. I get that same feeling.

Long may the tradition continue!

Red Hand

Nope. Humbug!

Miss Fluff

Sure do, I think its a lovely tradition, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

Malteaser!

Nah, I live at home so my mammy takes care of all that kinda thing!

Dudess

I give cards to people I care about but don't care about enough to get them a present.

I did this year, first Christmas away from home.

themadchef

I send them to family away from home,friends and out laws. I include a pic of the brats as an update for the dublin side who rarely get to see the nephews/nieces. I think this is a very Americanised thing but it's only once a year so i do it. Only pic of the kids..... usually with chocolate covered faces or something funny. Nothing professional.
