If you've ever wondered about the best time to send out Christmas cards, knowing the most popular time to send cards should help you know when the time is right.

According to an AYTM Holiday Card Survey, these are the weeks in December people who send out Christmas cards put them in the mail.

• 24% send their holiday cards the first week of December
• 38.3% send out their cards the second week of December
• 2.7% wait until the third week of December
• 3.3% send them right before Christmas
