Sending Christmas cards

STBX moved out in late May. This is the first Xmas with him out of the house, and I have a question: What to do about sending Xmas cards out? I (like most wives) sent out the yearly Xmas cards, and signed his, my, and the kids' names since 1986. Do I just send to my relatives (I really don't know his distant relatives well at ALL, and a lot of the people on the card list are his parents' friends...)? Do I send to everyone I usually send to, but eliminate STBX's name? He could really care less about sending the cards in the first place, but I'm really not sure what to do. I don't want to just announce in a Xmas card that we're getting divorced.
For the past 2 years, I've been sending a holiday greeting to our storage customers, and this year I signed both our names-- his first & last names, then my first and last names, rather than the usual his first name, my first name, then our last.
What did you do for the cards to relatives / friends?

I'd send them to your family and friends... just signing your name with the kids.

Hi there...
My first Christmas was separated, but well on the road to divorce... I do picture cards each year and just had them printed Julie and Joey... I sent them to my friends and family, his family I was still close to (my xil's and I have a close relationship still) and any of "our" friends that I was still friends with... it worked out very well... I did get a card from one of his family members that I was not expecting to hear from, so I popped on in the mail to them at that point...
Like someone else said, do what feels right to you...
*hugs*
