The amount of shipments increases the need for us to be pouring toxic fumes into the air as we drive around. The brown company that I work for actually uses a small portion of the money we receive to do things to reverse the damage we do, like plant trees and clean up streams, etc. So, stuff away and consider yourself environmentally responsible.Lisa https://www.blogger.com/profile/09324961653370110887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-69082900858771949492011-12-11T14:35:02.678-05:002011-12-11T14:35:02.678-05:00I say as long as you're not writing the thank ...I say as long as you're not writing the thank you inside of the Christmas Card then double stuff.

However, my first thought was the same as NOLA's - it is so pleasant to get something in the mail that is not a bill. Getting two envelopes days apart would double the pleasure. It may be a bit more expensive, and a little less green, but considering that our Postal Service is being crushed because of politics, I do not mind giving them a little extra business and buying a few extra stamps. <br /><br />And, Dr. M., the fact that you have gotten around to writing "thank you" notes within a month and a half of the birthday = major mommy WIN!!!! *high five*White Coat Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02805599382000688596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-18358816346848605772011-12-11T08:19:24.128-05:002011-12-11T08:19:24.128-05:00Imma have to be the voice of dessension here, and ...Imma have to be the voice of dessension here, and voted against the double stuff, unless we're talking about Oreo cookies!

Instead, I'd write a note of thanks and how your son used the gift on paper. Makes it more personal, and less awkward to open 2 cards in 1 envelope. <br /><br />God bless.LA Morrison, MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17218485351756906435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3245783834297902042.post-92157352662251402782011-12-10T19:10:04.040-05:002011-12-10T19:10:04.040-05:00I very rarely even get a thank you card for birthd...I very rarely even get a thank you card for birthday gifts, so I say double stuff away!<br /><br />Depending on how heavy your Christmas cards are, though, you may end up having to pay more in postage.

I am constantly amazed by the really classy people I know who don't know how to write a simple thank you note. My mother was old school and didn't let me play with or wear whatever my grandmother sent me until I sent the note. Christmas was the exception to the rule. Still had to write the note though. Hand deliver? Even better.
