A Question About Holiday Greeting Cards and Letters

This time of year, many of us send out a holiday card or letter to friends and family. Even people who do not celebrate Christmas or Hanukkah often send a New Year's greeting.

Opinions vary widely about acceptable format for holiday greetings. 

I enjoy catching up with friends and past acquaintances annually at this time of year, and I love getting newsy letters and lots of photos from friends and family. I know, however, that some people roll their eyes and don't understand why others choose to share so much information.   

Today, I'm curious about the majority opinion, and I'm asking you for your thoughts on this topic.

What's your opinion?

What is your favorite type of holiday greeting to receive?

1. A store-bought card.
2. A custom photo card.
3. A newsy printed letter.

 When it comes to content, is it true that "less is more"? Do you prefer:

1. One simple photo of a family or friend.
2. A variety of photos taken by the sender throughout the year.
3. A note or letter without photos.

Do you send out holiday greetings? 

1. No.
2. Yes. If so, do you:

• Just sign and send a card.

• Put a photo in the card or send a photo card.

• Send a holiday letter with one photo.

• Send a holiday letter with multiple photos.

4. Do you send your holiday greetings to:

1. Close friends and family?
2. Only people that are far away?
3. All of your friends and family?

 5. If you do send a card or printed letter, do you:

1. Have it printed and send it without signing or adding a note.
2. Sign your name but never add a note.
3. Add a hand-written personal note for each recipient.

Please leave your answers in the comment section. Let's find out how people really feel about the cards and letters we've sent throughout the years!
