I love getting cards but……

I don’t like writing them!!
Never mind I got the job done this afternoon.
I didn’t send very many at all last year but I have managed to whittle them down to only needing 25 stamps.
I plan to deliver as many as I can this week as I’m up where we used to live on Thursday for a funeral.

Sewing Bee on tonight……I love that programme but hate seeing!

NB @floralchick. The air fryer you gave us in its place. Nice & neat there. 😍 xx

It's a shame you don't enjoy it Pat. I do enjoy it because it makes me feel connected to the people I'm sending them to.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Well done , I finished off writing mine this afternoon ( everything on the go-slow with this Polymyalgia - !! but must not complain!) I always hate the starting off but quite enjoy the journey as I go through my list with a little snippet written in some of the cards! Thanks for reminding me - I love watching Sewing Bee!

[Pat Knowles]

@susiemc @beryl Yes actually you are right Beryl I get into it & don’t mind in the end! I like it better now we send fewer…,. Only three b&bers this time! I was more organised too this year!
Still not a favourite job though!

I'm not very good in sending cards anymore.. think Social media has killed that off..
Kitchen looking as nest as a pin.

@julzmaioro I got the impression NZ doesn’t send many cards Julz….. better things to do in the summer !!!!!

[carol white]

Nor me, must start on them tomorrow

[Judith Johnson]

Your kitchen looks lovely. Well done on getting the cards done in one afternoon! I've been doing it over the last few days, still not quite finished!

[Carole Sandford]

I think it’s a bit daunting before you start. But we have to send to receive I suppose . I like because it means connecting with people far & wide.

[Dawn]

I’m with Julz in this , I must say I did but it’s really trailed of now days

[Pat Knowles]

@carole_sandford That’s why I do it Carole. The postage is a bit daunting but they might think we’ve died if we stop.🤣🤣

[Pat Knowles]

@Dawn it’s summer in NZ…..dark & cold here so we stay in & perhaps write cards! We are much more into it than you New Zealanders,

[PhotoCrazy]

Hahaha, I agree about the cards!

[Babs]

I don't post many cards these days and most are overseas. Local ones I just hand over in person.

[Maggiemae]

Nice look at your kitchen and I can see the red envelopes for the cards. I'm afraid I send email xmas cards - the same to everybody!

[Joan Robillard]

I stopped writing Christmas cards years ago. When I was working it just got to be too much. Glad you keep it up.

[Pam Knowler]

I decided to donate to Children in Need this year rather than pay postage for 50 cards. Just not feeling Christmassy while recovering from my knee replacement. Have been feeling rough with after effects of anaesthetic and the strong meds!

[Renee Salamon]

Well done - I’m no good at writing cards so I send ecards now, I know it’s not the same but it’s the thought that counts

[Brian]

Well done

[Issi Bannerman]

That looks very organised Pat. I too love getting cards, especially from abroad. I think I sent about 50 this year, which is about half of what I used to send. I think people, generally, are reducing and donating to charity instead. I do a bit of both as I think we need to keep some traditions, even though it is, effectively, money down the drain. Everything in moderation is my mantra - boring though that may sound!

[Boxplayer]

Oh dear me too

[John Falconer]

How about doing my cards now you’ve some free time!

[Dione Giorgio]

I used to be tone in the family to fill in Christmas cards and I really hated doing that. Now we send greeting through the Internet though it is not the same like sending personalised cards.

[Pat Knowles]

@johnfalconer Ha ha no thank you, I will pass on that!
