I remember being in school and writing loads of Christmas cards to give to all my friends. Now I only ever give to my parents, sister, Sam and then I give a 'general' one for my work all like 'thanks for working merry christmas'.

I do actually make them. I'm not talking stickers and stuff that's not really my vibe but depending on my 'craft of the year' will depend on what I make. Last year I was cross stitching so I made and gave cross stitch cards. This year my very adult craft is diamond art so I've almost finished making all my diamond art cards to send.

Do you send irl Christmas cards?!

I normally only send Christmas cards if the person I'm sending to lives far away, as it's just easier than sending a whole package to them.

If it's a family member or a friend that lives close to me, I normally just buy gifts.

Nah, I think xmas cards are useless.. In fact cards altogether are useless...
Cards are, IMO, supposed to be in replacement of wishing someone happy birthday or merry Christmas in person... So if you're not going to be seeing said person, you send them a card instead...
Just a waste of money tbh, unless you put a gift in the card such as money, tickets for something, or a gift card etc... You just read it, then for me it goes in the bin because I don't display them anywhere as I'm hardly home :)

I send cards to a handful of friends that don't live close.
People that I see over the Holidays that get gifts don't get cards lol

I agree with the distance thing. I do live like 100 miles away from my family that's why I send them cards

I do like to, but apparently I've left it a bit late to send the few abroad I want to (America and Canada) so they might get them late :'(
(Sorry @jamiexo,)

I've been thinking of creating personalised digital ones instead but I'm not sure because I know people like to have something physical...
Maybe just digital for the abroad ones?

We'll see...

I used to love drawing in them all individually and it would take me weeks as it took over an hour per card... but my hand is too week to do that anymore sadly :'( So got to personalise digitally instead!
