Sending Christmas cards linked with lower levels of depression, study finds

  1. Seems to be just saying that people with more friends and more contact with friends are less depressed and that suddenly not making contact is a warning sign? Feels like a Christmas card ad just telling us what we already know?

  2. I used to love sending cards especially since I live abroad but a few things stop me these days like the cost and with people more eco conscious these days, it no longer seemed like a nice thing to do.

  3. Sending them? No. Receiving them? Maybe, until the realisation sets in you now need to get that person a card and now they’ll know they’re only getting one because they sent you one. It’s a mine field. I only give them to direct family members any more.

    Everyone else either gets a text or a message on some form of anti social media platform, or an in-person “arah Happy Christmas to ya! I haven’t seen you in ages. *mumbles under breath after they’ve walked off* because you’re a wanker and I’ve deliberately cut down on how much I socialise and interact with you”
