I have noticed in my local stores in the greeting card section that there is actually cards that you can send to your friends and families for halloween. Don't get me wrong, I love halloween! We decorate every year, kids love our house. We will give out full size chocolate bars this year ( thanks to SDM, lol ), but sending a card for $ 3.99+up..really???? Or am I just to frugal?!:lol:
I do buy some Halloween cards just because I think its cute but I buy mine from the Dollarstore no way would I pay more, except for my daughters first Halloween.
My grandmother used to send us all cards for halloween...she lived about 5 hours away so we only saw her a few times a year. She was also the type that would buy cards for $5 and up:)
My mom & grandmother always gave me halloween cards
I guess that it is a bit useless to give to friends or family, but for people that live far away from each other is understandable since they want to wish them a happy halloween.
I just picked one up today to send to someone on SC with a trade, I think it's a cute personal touch.
My Grandma used to send me Hallowe'en cards. I loved it.
These cards are catered to grandparents. Grandparents send cards for every useless occasion a card company makes a card for. Happy Pagan dead-people-honoring day! LUV GRAMMA.
It's a money grab because old people love spending $50 on cards to send to kids. Sending one for a buck, maybe, but most people go for the sparkly $5+ cards.
+1 for putting an apostrophe in Hallowe'en... this is how I was taught to spell it, too! :)Quote:

my halloween greeting cards are emailed based LOL. And they are FREE to send lol.
I've seen them for years now, and see why people would want to send them across the miles...
Yes, I spell it Hallowe'en, too!
LOL, but some of us non-pagans celebrate it as the Eve of All Saints' Day, which is Nov. 1.Quote:
