"I did it once - and it was the first and last time," Eckel, a mother of two, tells TODAY.com, adding, "Never again." This reflection highlights how overwhelming the task of sending out Christmas cards can be.
"I said, 'So then you can source the photographer and then you can find a date that aligns with her and with our schedules... It's not just Christmas cards, is it?'" This illustrates the extensive planning and coordination involved in sending cards.
"The mental load behind Christmas cards has never seemed worth it to me. Anybody that I would send a Christmas card to, I see regularly." This suggests that for Eckel, the social value of Christmas cards doesn't justify the effort.
"My husband asked me one year why we didn't do Christmas cards and he has never asked me again since." This implies a turning point in understanding the demands of holiday traditions.
