Around the 'Net

 

Do you still send Christmas cards in the mail?  I do, even though the number I get in return is less and less every year.  That's ok, I love sending them and I'm grateful for those who are still sending them as well.

I found this little tidbit intriguing.


and I have another one - in the case of a couple, never separate the man's first name from his last.  So, Jane and John Smith, never John and Jane Smith.

  1. I send Christmas cards if I have a good family picture of us (lame but that is honestly the criteria that I use). I liked reading the information about names. I had seen most of it before but not the last part about the woman´s name going first and not separating a man´s first name from his last. Very interesting! Thanks for sharing this...

    1. I've given up trying to get a (good) photo of the three of us! I've switched to minted.com cards which have beautiful artwork.

  2. For years I put my Hubby's name first! I am considering sending out cards this year - the first time since he died. The last few years, the number of cards received has dwindled. But maybe I can jump start that!

    1. I once reached out to an estranged member of the family with a Christmas card, and it rejuvenated the relationship. It was lovely to hear from them every year.

  3. I only send a few Christmas cards a year, mainly to older family members who don't keep up with things online. I never thought of the etiquette of Christmas cards. How interesting.

    1. I had a couple of elderly family members who always sent cards - neither of them ever had a computer and I treasure their cards in their handwriting.
