If your sister had a boyfriend for a couple years that you only saw a handful of times while they dated and they broke up but he seemed like a nice guy, would you keep sending him Christmas cards even though he and your sister have no contact with each other?

No. If you haven't remained friendly after the breakup, there's no reason to reach out with a holiday card.

Seems like something you can decide based on how you feel about the guy. No hard rule about this one.

No. He'd probably think it was weird, and the sister might be bothered by it. If he has a new girlfriend, *she* might be bothered by it. I don't even know why one would consider doing it.

My sister is the one sending the cards and I think it's strange. She feigns feeling sorry for him saying "he probably doesn't get many cards", but he has friends and family who send him cards. She knows I don't like it but she keeps doing it...and it's 15 years since we broke up!
