Do you send Christmas cards?

[Marjo]

Hey guys,

It's that time of year again when a huge amount of Christmas cards are being sent all over the world!

I happened to do a search with "seasonal greeting card statistics"  and found some interesting facts:

• The commercial Christmas card was invented in 1846 by Sir Henry Cole, the chief organiser of the Great Exhibition, pioneer of the penny post and founder of the V&A Museum.
• One of Sir Henry’s first Christmas cards, sent to his Grandmother was recently sold at auction for  £22,500.
• Last year, nearly 100 million single Christmas cards were sold in the UK.
• The vast majority of greeting cards are still bought in bricks and mortar stores, rather than online.
• Charities estimate that £50m is raised for good causes through the sales of charity Christmas cards each year.
• Greeting card making is also the number one craft hobby!

Do you send Christmas cards? In what format do you prefer to send/receive, paper cards via post or electronically via email? Or an image and greeting via WhatsApp perhaps? Do you make them yourself or buy?

No

I don't have anything against them you understand but my handwriting is so appalling it would be unreadable.

When a leaving/Birthday card comes round at work (never seen a combo one just yet but you never know) I just put my name on.

I send christmas cards to family, but I stopped taking them in for work colleagues a while ago due to now working in a large office.
