Perhaps for many sending Christmas cards is outdated, but we found some Dubs who are still keeping the festive tradition alive.
We met Elizabeth Donohoe from Walkinstown and Evelyn Murtagh from Ballyfermot who were on their way to the GPO to send Christmas cards. And these ladies took their Christmas cards sending tradition very seriously – Evelyn sends 90 cards a year while Elizabeth sends about 50.
Evelyn’s large family is one of the reasons for her impressive card number. “There’s 11 of us in the family. And then some of them have children that I send to - they’re grown up children now so I send to them as well.” But she also sends it to friends and people she “just got to know over the years from holidays and things like that”.
