I'm curious when you ideally send your Christmas cards. I wanted to get our out this coming weekend (15 days before Christmas) and DH said it was too late and we might as well not send them at all.

I completely DISAGREE with that - but wondered when you send yours.....

I'll be working on getting our cards out this weekend. I don't think it's too late at all. Our card is a Holiday card though as we are a mixed family. So it really addresses Hanukkah, Christmas and New Years.

Mine went out yesterday, now I'm eagerly awaiting people receiving them - it's our first year, so hopefully this will be the norm :)

I don't think this weekend is too late though!

I wanted to get them out first week of December but I was slacking. Finally last Friday night when my husband was working late I made myself sit down and finish them all. They went out Monday. WOOT!

It's definitely not too late!!!

I sent ours out on Sunday (so, yesterday). I don't think it's too late at all - we have yet to receive our first one!

I sent mine out on Friday, and a few people have gotten them already. I haven't received any yet though.

I buy them, write them out, then always forget about them until Christmas day. So they get mailed the day after Christmas. Christmas Card - FAIL.

I just dropped mine in the mail today. I haven't received any yet and my family is obsessed with Christmas cards, so I think you are fine. It's definitely not too late! We rush holidays so much, Christmas is still a little under three week away.
