So I was wondering, who all should get Christmas cards outside of family/close friends? Landlord, financial planner, guitar teacher I was figuring all get one, as they're important/interact with them regularly. Should my doctor as well? I also haven't talked to a professor of mine I really enjoyed in a few years,but thought about sending him one, is that OK or too weird?

One thing I was hung up on is how to address this one card. I have a friend who lives with her sister and her sister's husband. I am friends with both the sisters more than the husband as I've known them longer. I addressed it Mr. Husband AAA, Mrs. Sister1 AAA, and Miss Sister2 ZZZ. However, I've known sister2 longer and I'm better friends with her. I mean in the end it doesn't matter and I doubt anyone anymore will recognize that but still... just wanted to make sure it wasn't a huge faux pas.

Any other tips?

My plan for Christmas cards is just to wait until I get married and let my wife handle it. Women love **** like that.

Yeah. about that. Any cards that I don't send out myself, don't get sent out.

HAH! It is actually kind of fun. Then again, I still enjoy sending letters and whatnot.

Please don't ruin my idyllic perception of matrimony.

I send them to family and close friends. I do not send them to business connections.

I post them on Christmas Eve ... to arrive during the Twelve Days of Christmas.
