To who, how many? We used to many years ago, to family, friends. What annoyed me is we’d get generic cards. Some weren’t even signed lol & those same people, that’s the only contact we had with them. I at least tried to write a small note.

Yes always have done but don't think I will be this year, as so many people are super cautious about receiving anything through the mail now with Covid rampant

I usually do sent out Christmas cards and will likely do so again this year.

I used to, but haven't done in years. I always felt that if I received a card from someone, it was the done thing to send one in return, even if I wouldn't have sent a card to that person in the first place. Like, when we moved to a new area, one neighbour put a Christmas card through our letterbox, so I felt I had to push one through their letterbox as well.
The only people I like to give a Christmas card to (with a banknote inside) are our waste removal people - as a thank you - and one to my regular postman, also with some money in it.

No, I can't afford them. Then you have to buy stamps.

I send out about 35 cards each year. I used to send 75 but wouldn't receive half back and those were from immediate family. I kept threatening to remove them from my list and eventually some passed away or I would send the card with their gift when shipping.
Most of the people I send to now send back a card and I don't mind if there is no note inside. I don't write anything really.
I used to do a newsletter on a sheet of paper with small write ups about things we did throughout the year. I almost did it this year but got lazy and everyone sees what I do on Facebook anyway.

Not anymore. I think it's just a waste of resources really and doesn't help the environment much when we send a car that most people only read on the day and never again. As long as we see them in person and talk to them, I think that's fine.

It is easier to send ready-made eCards. Either through email or a messenger app. So there is no point using a paper card. eCards look much better and have animations. It has better clarity and fun additions.
I am not sure they are even selling paper cards these days.

Every year I tell myself next year I will send out Christmas cards, at least to those that sent us Christmas cards. ...but this time of year comes around and I realize I didn't keep everyone's addresses and I'm not sure if I want to reach out and collect them. lol Who knows... I may change my mind and actually pull through. We shall see.

No, waste of trees and stamp money. It's a worn-out stupid tradition.
