When to send Hanukkah cards in 2021?
Because we’re talking about snail mail, it’s important to remember that we can’t predict exactly how long it will take for the cards to arrive. Typically, it takes the post office to deliver domestic mail 3-7 days. Since this year Hanukkah starts in late November, it may not be affected by the holiday rush slow down that typically takes place in December.
With that said, we’d recommend placing your Hanukkah cards in the mail sometime between November 22-24th.
Since that week is also Thanksgiving, there will be a bit of a slow down already. This will likely have your cards arrive sometime in the following week — just in time for Hanukkah!

Why do people send cards on Hanukkah?
People send cards for Hanukkah for the same reason they send cards on any other holiday or occasion. Holiday cards of any kind are a lovely way to spread love and joy to those in our lives we care about. While sending a text or giving a call is certainly a great idea, sending snail mail shows your recipient you put some extra thought into the gesture. It shows you care. Also, sending Hanukkah cards to those far away in a different state, for example, is an easy way to feel a little extra connected despite the distance.
People also send cards on Hanukkah, or other holidays, for networking purposes. Sending holiday cards from small businesses to their clients, partners, and employees is a great way to continue to build the kind of relationships that help companies grow.
