    Do you include grown up family in the Christmas card you send?

    I ask this question because we have received 2 cards signed in this way.

    One from OH's brother and SIL - including their 2 grown up DDs, SILs and 3 GC.
    Both families live in London, over 200 miles away from OH's brother, and and my opinion will send their own cards if they want to!

    My ex BIL and SIL do the same - themselves, 3 sons, 1 DIL 1 GD.
    Their youngest son still lives at home, so I include him in the card of course.

    Once my DDs had their own homes I never included them in Christmas cards. I think they would all find it extremely strange if I did.

    I just wondered if anyone received cards like this, or even send them yourselves.

    I never do Gem, my DIl2 always includes the whole family on birthday cards etc, I always find it very strange, I thought it was just me!

      No when we send cards it's just from B and myself ,
      Once they grow up and leave home I think they should choose themselves if they send cards or not .
      I can't think of any family members on either side that do that unless the children still live at home I suppose they may include them then .

        I haven't really thought about it. But last year some friends from way back included their adult DD in their card to us, and knowing nothing about her circumstances I wondered if she had moved back in with her parents, so this year I included her in our card.

        Otherwise, I don't include adult children who I know have left home. When my adult God daughter lived with her parents I sent her a separate card.

          Cards are just from me! It's up to my DC if they send cards or not, but I don't think they do! If I know friends have family living at home I'll say to john, Jane and family or to The Smiths e.g.
