How do you REALLY feel about sending or receiving birthday cards?

    I take it very easy with the whole thing.  Otherwise I would always feel pressed.  Pressed to DO the sending, because there is always a birthday to tend to if one is neurotic. 

    Keeping track of one birthday is hard enough for me.  So, I try not to stress and send them when someone's birthday pops into my head. 

    I'm not a Virgo.  Not organized emough.

    OK, if you don't send me a card, you're forgiven.

    Sending: meh. 
    Receiving: double MEH to the ninth power.

    Hmm you know I don't know! I tend to be forgetful about sending them.... and yet, of course I like to receive them...  so how about everyone in the world send me cards and I will happily receive them :)

  • I like it.  someone has taken a few moments to wish me well.  If the card is humorous or aesthetically pleasing I put it up on my table for two weeks or so.  I also enjoy sending cards for the same reasons.

    Sending cards to those who enjoy them is always a pleasure.

    I exchange birthday and anniversary cards with my three sisters and their husbands.  I send Christmas cards to my entire family.  My nieces and nephews send me birthday greetings via Facebook and they get their greetings the same way.  :)

    EDIT:  I exchange birthday cards with three very close friends as well.  This post was edited by SpunkySenior at July 3, 2017 5:56 PM MDT
