Has the cost of Stamps killed off the Xmas Cards?

I don't send cards anymore anyway, but wondered will they die out with the cost of stamps now?

I cut right down last year, only sending about 5-6 to elderly relatives who still really appreciate them. Stamps are incredibly expensive and you can't even be sure they will be delivered.

Hmm was wondering about this. I got about 200 stamps I’d had for years swapped over when they got the barcodes so I’ll be sending about 30 this year as usual.

I’ll always send to family (about 10)

I have a few I use as Xmas decorations that I received from my mum years ago, so I think I’ll always send a few whatever the cost.

I think as a custom it's been dying out slowly for ages . I haven't sent any for about 5 years. The cost of stamps might accelerate the process.
