CHRISTMAS CARDS

Growing up it seemed like we got so many Christmas cards every year. We would get them from friends, family, neighbors, coworkers and friends we only heard from once a year...at Christmas, when they sent their Christmas cards.

Right after Thanksgiving cards would start coming in the mail.

Now, it seems like most people I stopped sending Christmas cards. I'm not sure why.



It could be because many feel the need to save the money on the cards and postage. So, they just send an email with a card attached.

I don't like getting email Christmas cards.



Or, perhaps people just don't have the time they used to.



Maybe they feel Christmas has become to commercial.



But, if that is the reason, they could always make them.

I'm not sure why really people don't send cards like they used to.

I still send them out. I still love to get the mail and see a card waiting to be opened.

How about you? Do you send cards out? Do you like getting them? If you don't, why?

    A card is like a book a gift you can open again and again as needed.

    Darn, I KNEW IT! I put my comment for this post on your last post. SHEESH!
    I said NO, I don't like the virtual cards..but I understand them.
    Oh..and I don't like that new book thing. Can't think of the name of it. I want a really book with a cover that sort of cracks the first time you open it...you know?
