We get about 40 back. I love getting Christmas letters from friends and family but we are getting less and less of those and most people are just getting the picture cards and don't even sign them or anything! But at least they send SOMETHING so I should be happy! I send out about 80 Christmas Cards with an elaborate Family Newsletter. We get about 40 back.

If i receive a card in the mail that i did not send to i will return the favor, if it's too late to send a card i send a personal note thanking them. sometimes i use the card as a package tag if we are going to see people in person. i make my cards by hand so it does get expensive and wasteful to send to lots of people that don't send cards in return.

I agree though that it us no fun to send out 60 (58 this year) and get a hand full back - the first year after we moved really was a poor return. However although I have finished writing out and addressing my cards, I never remember to buy the postage until the 2nd week in december and I think the earlier they are sent out the more you get back because people forget about Christmas cards in the hustel and bustel of the season my family never sends out Christmas cards, but I love to.

I think that's why I do - I'm corny and i like feeling like I'm doing all the things from Christmas movies that we never did when we were kids.
