I try. I’m not always successful though.
I bought the cards early this yr. Just need to fill them out and send, but I just give to close friends and my siblings so…. 🎄⛄️🌨️

How about you?

Yes

I still send out Christmas cards, but not nearly as many as I used to. And certainly nothing like my family would send when I was a kid. Mine now go to a few elderly relatives who take the tradition seriously. How much someone appreciates or expects a Christmas card seems tied to one's age.

Oh absolutely not! I love the idea, don't get me wrong, but I have shockingly bad handwriting. We take a family photo every year, print out holiday cards and send those out instead. It saves me the embarrassment of having to show off my terrible penmanship 😂.

Yes, but not as many.

Yes. I try to get them to the staff, close family, etc. So probably about 80-90 around the holiday season?

I also do birthday cards, sympathy cards, etc.

How much stock do you put on benefits? I have two offers with stark differences in benefits. Job 1: role I want, but benefit sucks (2 weeks paternity leave, 20% coinsurance). Job 2: role is okay but higher level and great benefits (16 weeks paternity, 0% coinsurance, 5 more days of vacation). Total comp is the same though. I wonder if I should just focus on role but Job 2 is a large company, so I can move around after 2-3 years I’d expect. Thoughts?
