I enjoy sending and receiving cards. I agree the cost is outrageous! When I was married and the ex and I had mutual friends, we rec'd many more. Now it's pretty much family and a few close friends. Honestly the distant cousins that don't respond at all are the people I've cut back from. I send a few to close friends at work 'cause I don't want to hurt anyone and make them feel excluded. I may to my version of The Night B4 Christmas set to a retail/restaurant theme. I need to get on that one soon since it takes a few weeks to get it completed. I will tie each copy (just generic printer paper) with thin ribbon from the dollar store or a rubber band will do as well. Put them in a basket from work or a large display jar we use at work. Anonymously, of course!
