    I have mine all addressed and ready to go, I just have to get to the post office and pick up Christmas stamps to mail them with. I am hoping to get them in the mail this week.

    I'm hoping to get mine out within the next couple of weeks.
    I haven't even started filling them out yet though.

    I usually mail mine out the first week in December, but I haven't decided whether or not I'm going to send any out this year

    The past few years I only send cards to family that lives out of state - I will include a pic of the boys & dogs w/ Santa (I had copies made) Santa visited the shelter & for a $10 donation, we had pics taken.

    I plan to mail out 8 - 10 cards only - and I hope to have them in the mail Dec. 1st.

    My goal is always the first week of December, but it usually ends up more like the week before Christmas. This year I have the cards and my half of the list drawn up (DH gets to put people he wants to send cards to on the list, so that's his half). I also bought a lot of stamps. Since we're hosting a big party Dec. 2nd, getting them out by this weekend probably won't happen. Still need to take a picture and print them out (fortunately, we can do this at home) and get the letter written.

    I usually mail mine the first week of December. At church we have a table set up all the weeks leading up to Christmas to put cards on to each other.

    I will be working on my cards this week and I hope to have them ready to send out by this Saturday. I'm handmaking the cards for my Sunday School Class and I hope to have those finished by this weekend as well.

    I bought my cards on sale after Christmas last year and only spent $3 a box for $20 cards. I bought several boxes for my oldest dd as well.

    I used to mail them Black Friday or the Monday after Thanksgiving. Last year, I didn't even get around to mailing them So I'll probably just put stamps on the ones I filled out & addressed last year & send them LOL!

    DH is working double shifts all week and I hope to get them written out and sent sometime this week. I have had years where I put them off so long they never did get sent.
