They do, don't they. Every year I buy holiday stamps, except last year there didn't seem to be such a great selection, which is why this year I didn't pick any up until after I'd stamped most of my cards.
Heh. I thought about getting holiday stamps, but then I decided the writing and the putting in the post were the key parts of the thing, and if I waited to get thematically appropriate stamps, those parts might never happen.
I'm iffy on appropriate cards, too. It's not that I object to actual Christmas/Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Solstice/Holiday cards, but I usually just don't like the options much, so if I'm going to buy some -- as opposed to use the ones charities send -- they're going to be images I like, rather than something that visually says December Holiday.
Sending a photograph card of a bird of prey is totally festive, right?
(Plus specific holiday cards would mean I'd have to have a count of people who celebrate particular holidays in my head, and I don't.)
(And I know it will look like I just sent whatever blank cards I had on hand, but I actually do go out and buy these inappropriate cards for holiday sending.)
Most of my family is Christian, friends tend to be Pagan, and I don't have a huge list I send out to. Plus I just adore the holiday tchotchke so I actually like sending out the cards.
I'm liking sending the cards this year, because instead of just, "Happy _____, [signature]," I'm adding personal comments and sometimes doodles. Which is fun, but means I'm still working on my very small list. :)
Yeah, I have a difficult time finding cards I like. I tend to buy in bulk when I do, which is why I haven't had to buy cards for years.
Oh, bird of prey. I think that'd be great card to get. And all you have to do is write something holidayish on the inside and then it's a holiday card. ;-)
