I send snail mail cards but only received five cards this year. FIVE!! I’m grieving over the changes brought about by social media, which IMHO is the culprit. I’m anti facebook, twitter, and blogs so the snail mail cards are really important to me. I felt lonely from lack of cards this year. Sounds silly… but it’s true. It’s a dying tradition.

Cards are one of my favorite parts of the holiday season! I love them and just like you said, they are like a gift. I love seeing all my school friends’ kids growing up, kids that I have never met usually because of where we all live now. I love to display them and it’s such a treat to see what’s in the mail box every day.

It’s New Year’s cards for me this year as I have ran out of time…..thanks for all of your blogs this holiday season as they have prompted me to “stay off the broom” and focus on what is important this time of year. And as a result, I am happier and my family is too. Thanks again for all of your inspiration and Merry Christmas!

The last few years we’ve done cards via e-mail, with picture slideshow and video…it’s been fun. I do still like getting physical cards and if postage wasn’t an issue I’d probably still prefer to do it that way.

Snail, snail, snail! I love sending and receiving Christmas cards. I send out over 350 and enjoy each one. They have slowed down a lot this year and I haven’t really enjoyed getting the ones via email. Seems strange.

It is snail mail for me all the way……. I sit down on Thanksgiving week end and make out all of my Christmas cards. I hand write every one, and put a personal message in each card. It is very personal to me, to connect with people we love and who have shared in our lives over the years. This one time of the year for some is the only time we correspond. I truly feel that hand written cards are a picture to who we are. No one has the same hand writing as we do, and yes over the years my hand writing has gotten a little worse but I still do it. I know we all say we are too busy to do such things but it really does make a difference. I too love to go to the post office in our small town and open the box to find sweet little envelopes stuffed with news and love from near and far…… with that said I say
Merry Christmas to one and all, remembering ALWAYS that JESUS is the only reason for the season!

You guys are such a beautiful family! I love getting photo cards from friends, but it bugs me when they only include their kids in the pictures. I want to see the whole family!! I send out photo cards every year. You’re right, just sitting and writing out addresses to friends and family the old-fashioned way is kind of relaxing. Happiest of holidays to you, my friend! Hope we can get you out to San Diego sometime in 2012!

Your family is gorgeous! I love getting and giving snail mail cards, especially photo cards. I just haven’t made the time or had the energy to send them the past couple of years to send them myself. (I guess since losing a child, I haven’t liked the way our family photo has looked.) Years ago I received a New Year card from a friend. I have sent New Year cards many times since then. I hope to get one out this year…we’ll see. Thanks for sharing your card here!
Merry Christmas!

I love sending and receiving cards this time of year! It makes me sad to see a noticeable decrease in the amount we receive, it is a tradition that is slowing falling away I’m afraid. We do the picture cards each year since we’ve had kids, it fun to see a measurable change every year!
