When do you mail your Christmas/Holiday Cards?

I've had them for 2 weeks now and plan to address them this week so they'll be ready to go...but I don't want to mail them about before the 2nd week in December...is that still too soon?

(My pregnancy hormones have had me over preparing/ preparing for things weeks early...)Chat Icon

Re: When do you mail your Christmas/Holiday Cards?

Haven't even taken our picture yet! Not quite sure how to do it this year b/c my twins are not sitting (4 months old). DS 1 has had a cold for a month now so we just haven't had a good time to do it. Hoping to take pics in the next few weekends. As long as everyone gets the card by Xmas I'm happy. I can't worry about my Jewish relatives this year, Hanukah is way to earlyChat Icon Chat Icon

Every year I TRY not to do this, but most if the time it's how it goes.Chat Icon

SIL had hers done, addressed, ready to go out about a month ago. I am guessing she will send them out tomorrow or Friday the latest. She likes to be the first one.Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: When do you mail your Christmas/Holiday Cards?

Usually sometime during the second week of December. I usually put up my Christmas tree Thanksgiving weekend, and then I try to dress DS up and take his photo in front of the tree for use in the card. So by the time I do that and order them, I don't get them until December.

Then, DS's birthday is Dec. 6, so I am busy with that. I usually try to get them out b/w Dec. 6-10, so people get them in the Dec. 10-15 range, which I think is fine.

Re: When do you mail your Christmas/Holiday Cards?

I know I'm strange, but I don't like receiving Christmas cards before Thanksgiving.
Friday is fine- but when I get one before Thanksgiving I get a little miffed.
I like to take one holiday at a time!

Re: When do you mail your Christmas/Holiday Cards?

This year, I'm ready to mail ours 1st week of December. There was one year (when we didn't have kids yet) that I was able to get them out right after Thanksgiving. It has NEVER happened again. *lol After the kids, I get to mail them around the 19th or 20th. I have this thing that I must write something else in each of the cards aside from the usual Dear ___ and love, ___. That's what delays me. I also handwrite the recipient's mailing address Chat Icon (the return address is stamped, I've gotten smarter hahahah) . Still, no wonder it takes me ages to get done.
