Buffalo_Gal Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Nope. I stopped sending holiday (Christmas, Hanukkah) cards last year, and we got a whopping 5 this year. I have saved the last birthday card (and the $50 inside it - his signature gift) my grandfather gave me. He passed away a few weeks later (he was 95), so I was glad I did.

LB3 Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I open them, look at them and then immediately throw them in the trash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I put Thanksgiving, Christmas and birthday cards (my birthday is a few days before Christmas) on the fireplace. Around New Year's the cards from my Dad and Brother go in a big Ziploc bag, which goes into a box, which goes on the top shelf of a closet. Everyone else gets tossed.

DC Tom Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Yes. Because I haven't received any in five years, so they remind me of when people cared about me, and why I hated it so goddamn much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t tell if a computer card is to me or to 499 people in a mass campaign the latter will be three pages of boasting about their life over the year, something worthy of summary execution, unless I specifically asked for this info beforehand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOKIE Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) I got one card this year. From the former very cute, single and young but heavy accountant girl for whom I brought the the only housewarming gift for upon the purchase of her first house and subsequent housewarming party. She is still very cute, a little older and thinner, and now #2, as chief program manager reporting to the GM, in my company which has increased in revenue 10 fold since her hiring (10M to 100M in ten years). I shoulda hit that! Her card with a photo of her blossoming family went straight to the trash. But it was nice to recieve.

Mark Vader Posted December 25, 2018 Share Posted December 25, 2018 My grandmother would save some Christmas cards, then she would cu out the designs and then re-use them as labels for Christmas presents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 The only time I save, hell, really the only time I read any sort of card is one with a personal message written to me. I got a ***** ton of wedding cards sent to me. Unless they had something meaningful written in them, they all got tossed right away. I don't even waste my time reading some sappy poem that as put in there by someone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
