A holiday card is post you have to send, not a present that has to be under the tree. What matters is having them in hand early enough to address, stamp and mail — so they turn up when a card should turn up. Every date below counts backwards from that, using the same timings as Shipping & Turnaround. Miss one and it is still worth asking; we will tell you honestly whether it can make it.
