you send someone a Christmas card and they don't send one in return?
And at what point would you remove someone from your Christmas card list?

I've always thought it was a courtesy to send one back to whomever sends you one, vice versa. I continue to send my cards every year even though some don't reciprocate. Heck, I even exchange with my ex-husband and his wife (they always send one too) because it makes my son happy that we do that. For the ones that don't send one back to you after years of sending one to them, I'd stop. It's not too hard to spend a few bucks on stamps if you spend tons of money on gifts.

Personally, I would not be upset if I did not receive a Christmas card back from someone I sent one to. I would never remove someone from my Christmas list. It's not really considered to be rude if you don't send a card in return. Some people just don't send Christmas cards out.

It doesn't bother me.. Some people just don't have time to write/send cards.. I would continue to send them and maybe after the New Year give them a call and maybe get together if possible or at least "catch-up". I ALWAYS send my cards late and I've NEVER removed anyone from my Christmas card list, I think that's childish.
Good luck

It depends on what the reason is. I have a couple of great aunts that just can't write very well anymore, so they don't send cards, but I know they appreciate them. I send to a few people who prefer to make a phone call instead.
I only remove them from my list if I don't get some kind of contact back. I usually give it 2 or 3 Christmases and if I still didn't get a card or a call, I don't send anymore.

To send or not to send is entirely up to you. I am so busy with my job that I rarely get around to sending cards. I love to receive them and many of my die hard relatives are kind enough to continue to send cards to me (along with pictures of their children and pets). I did send ecards this year and it was great fun.
Removing names from your list should depend on more than receiving a card from them. Is it a close friend or relative? Do you hear from them regularly throughout the year? How much do they have on their plate?
Sometimes we get so stressed out by trying to do it all and have the perfect Christmas that eliminating just one thing on our list helps immensely.

Somewhat but, if it is family then I send a card regardless, if they send a card or not. I want family and friends to know I am thinking of them even if they don't send a card back.

It doesn't bother me. A lot of families don't have time to take the picture, get the card, and send them all out. Or they don't have enough money to afford it. And it's not about giving something to get something in return. It's just to spend holiday cheer. In my opinion I wouldn't remove someone from our list unless their family and our family had a big mishap and we despise each other or something.

Nah, I almost never get Christmas cards back. I don't mind, though, it's a hassle to get tons of cards for people and send 'em off, etc.

You really should never remove someone from your list. Even if they are rude to you. You never know spreading your Christmas cheer may help someone or your relationship with a person.
