I've only got one Christmas scarf from my mum. When do you post yours ?

AIBU to expect cards by now? Is the post running slow again ? I've posted and delivered mine in the last few days.

I've had 2 so far. Most people I know don't do cards any more.

And I don't know anyone who does scarves. Wink

YABU I wanted a thread about scarfs Grin

FluffyBooBoo · 09/12/2021 14:21

I don't send Christmas scarfs. How many are you expecting?

I don't send cards either, haven't for years.

bigbluebus · 09/12/2021 14:21

We usually get our first card by 1st December. We've had our first card this morning. I posted most of mine on Tuesday 2nd class post, having written them at the weekend. I think a lot of people have stopped bothering now - we get fewer every year.

*scarves!

I was correcting myself sorry not anyone else!

MsAgnesDiPesto · 09/12/2021 14:22

We received our first two yesterday. I have a big family and the cousins broadly tend to send to one another, but not many of my friends do it any more, and only one or two of DH’s. We probably send about 25 and receive about the same.

ScreamingMeMe · 09/12/2021 14:23

I thought this was some kind of weird tradition I hadn't heard of!

Feel free to correct me too 😁
MsAgnesDiPesto · 09/12/2021 14:23

Mine are written, but awaiting stamps arriving with my groceries today.

Nevertime · 09/12/2021 14:23

I've had one so far, but I'm not expecting many and TBH wondering whether to bother with even the few I usually send this year.

EmpressaurusWitchDoesntBurn · 09/12/2021 14:23

I made scarves for both my parents for Christmas last year, plus one for me, so we don’t need new ones this year.

SimonedeBeauvoirscat · 09/12/2021 14:23

No scarfs as yet though given what a popular gift they are for women of a certain age I am expecting several this year. I never bloody wear them though 🙄

ThePoisonousMushroom · 09/12/2021 14:24

I haven’t had any. Haven’t sent any either!

ZenNudist · 09/12/2021 14:24

I sent send cards. Got one from elderly relative addressed to Mr and Mrs - Husband initial - surname. Which says it all really. Cards are outdated. The only people sending them are in their 70s upwards.

Peridot1 · 09/12/2021 14:24

We’ve had four.

I’ve bought ours. And stamps. But not written them yet. Not sure when that will happen.

TheSpiral · 09/12/2021 14:25

I’ve had 2. I haven’t done mine yet.
I do like getting and sending cards, but get a lot less these days.
No scarfs although I was looking at some nice ones this morning and pondering getting one for a friend

I am sending them! I’m 46.
Frymetothemoon · 09/12/2021 14:26

We haven't had any. We've posted 2!

Pascha · 09/12/2021 14:26

We have two. Sent none yet. Dh will probably deliver a few to customers he's know some years. The kids write a handful for school.

Tbh I can't remember the last year I personally wrote one.

Comedycook · 09/12/2021 14:27

Amazed people still send cards...we receive none and send none!

TheSpiral · 09/12/2021 14:27

Both the ones I have received are hand made which is lovely.

I’m 50. Most of the people I exchange with are over 40, but well under 70!
DorothyZbornakIsAQueen · 09/12/2021 14:30

We've received 1 and I dobt know where to put it.

I don't send them, nor wish to receive them. They make the place look scruffy.
