When making a list of people to send Christmas and holiday cards to, do you keep track of who has and hasn’t sent you a card and adjust your list accordingly? If a friend or family has not sent you a card in a few years, will you send them a card anyway?

I have a list of about 60 people I send cards to – friends, family, past co-workers, my daughter’s former teachers, etc. People I haven’t seen in years that I want to reach out to, people who may not be on social media who I want to let know that I am thinking of them. Some people I will drop off the list because we move on but I don’t have any hard and fast rules.

A friend told me if someone hasn’t sent her a card in a year or two, she crosses them off her list. That is one logical way of looking at it. I don’t do that but I know some people do. What do you do?
