It seems like every year I send out about 15 cards and only get about 3 or 4. Are people really that cheap? It only cost $5 for the cards and 41 cents a stamp..... I really don't get it.....

Yep. Every year I send out cards and I always know who is going to send me one back.
One year I only sent them to people who sent them to me first.
Then there are the people you never see and they sign their name only, nothing that says how they are or anything.
I used to send pictures of my kids whent they were little. Last year I sent a picture of my family at our daughter's wedding.
There are some people who send a photo every year and a letter too.
This is one of those years I am going to keep track of who sends me one and those are the ones who are getting one from me next year.

As Christmas is a Christian Festival to celebrate the birth of Christ you don't even need to consider Christmas cards if you're not a Christian. It is a time of year when Christians think of Peace and Goodwill to all men and some Christmas cards illustrate this. I am a Christian of no religion - I send Christmas cards to about 60 people who have played a part in my life at some time or other and who I wish to remember with goodwill. This year was a bit different as I started getting phone calls from some of those on my list about three weeks before Christmas - it was then I realised they were checking up that I was still alive!! I don't think I am supposed to be by now, but I have faith and that is working wonders. When I stop posting for more than a month you will know I have lost my battle. In the meantime the World has taken on a whole new perspective for me and I see things in a quite different light and most of what is going on disgusts me! Merry Christmas and a very Happy and Peaceful New Year to all my readers!

I enjoy sending out Christmas greeting cards to friends and family. So even if I don't get a lot of Christmas cards in return. I don't feel bad because I'm just happy to spread the Christmas spirit. Gee! I am so fortunate that I can afford buying something to give people.

I get Christmas cards but don't send them. It's easier for me to call and say "Merry Christmas" than to send a card to 40 people and waste a tree. I wouldn't mind if people stopped sending them to me.

Sweetheart people now thinks to send mob. msg. or ecard they think it is enough but ur way of thinking is more polite and high class but no one understand and as u said may be it is matter of cheap stuff or may be they r lazy to go out and buy card and write on it and send it anyway finally u r way still respected and nice.

yes, i always send out more than i receive.
one reason is I send it to senior citizens or sick people, that need a boost, but don't have the energy to send out cards. I've also volunteered for seniors to address their cards for them...as they can no longer write.
i also send cards to some family member, like great nieces who don't feel the need to send any back. i keep hoping when they are older.

Well, I did get 2 and well, I did not send any. It's not the price though it's the laziness.

ooo didn't think about that. really I don't sent Christmas cards but I don't receive either. just presents and when no presents are given we get together and drink a little and bring food kinda lika a reunion.

I always get less than I send out but that's okay with me; better to give than receive :) But I agree; it's not that expensive to do ... some peeps may not have the time or inclination to do it ...
Happy Holidays :)
