Yes. It's a beautiful tradition and doesn't have to cost a lot.

No. The photos and card costs are too high and they just get tossed in the trash eventually anyway.

Maybe. I'm considering an e-card this year. It's the best of both worlds.

I received maybe one or two and I know how excited it is to receive, it's more exciting for me sending them out even more

Making my own with card stock, a computer program, and the children. Have pared the list down considerably though.

I think about doing an e-card but it just feels cold and impersonal, although easy and inexpensive. I really hope we don't move to a future with no Holiday cards arriving in the mail.

It is a holiday tradition that I make our Christmas cards, make them far too complicated, with little time to finish them so I have to pull a couple of all-nighters and almost loose my mind in the process. A tradition I would just hate to give up!
