The living Room Cards years ago
We all have personal little quirks
I know I do.
And mine , at this time of year, do centre about posted Christmas Cards
Since 1989 I have the slightly irrational wish to have enough Christmas cards to hang around my living room. In Providence Road in Walkley, Wynyard Road in Hillsborough and in Bwthyn y llan in Trelawnyd , I have always surrounded the living room with Christmas Cards. And I’ve always been pleased that it has happened…every year…….every year for 36 years….
Is it all about ego? ….perhaps?……is it about validation ? Could be …..Neediness? …….you never know
Habit? …too right ….
Last night I posted my Trelawnyd Productions! Christmas Cards…thirty cards all told …..26£
A reduced number than I usually send ….
A statement which is sad ….that posted Christmas cards seem to be a bit of a dinosaur nowadays
I have to accept that because of financial constraints people just don’t send Christmas cards anymore
Hey ho😩
A lovely habit John, and why not celebrate the season however you feel comfortable with what pleases your eyes, just enjoy all of your quirks. Jan in Castle Gresley
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame that postage has become so expensive. We get fewer and fewer cards each year.
ReplyDeleteMind you, a lot of our friends and family are no longer with us so that has a lot to do with it.
Love the card tradition..keep it going.
ReplyDeleteA bit off topic..how is Mrs Trellis doing?
I still love the idea of Christmas cards but I'm often too overwhelmed to send them.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are lovely
Yes it's neediness. Nearing Chrstmas you encourage readers to send you cards yet you don't send them to readers. Don't you think it's time to grow up? Here you again with the same subject pleading for attention.
ReplyDeleteOh dear someone has their knickers in a twist
DeleteMost people I know send electronic Christmas cards these days.Some dinosaurs via email. Not usually to do with finances although postage is high now.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on this, will get a card to you in the post. Jxx
ReplyDeleteI don't like receiving cards (am I odd?) but I do send them, because I know that many people do like them. We all have our little quirks, they're part of what makes us who we are. xx
ReplyDeleteWhy would anybody not like receiving lovely greetings in the post? Makes a pleasant change from all the junk mail.
DeleteI sent a dozen cards yesterday, the list seems to get shorter each year, including a couple of people who have moved and not sent me their new address (one of my nephews.)
