Holiday cards

[pegkerr]

I have noticed that I seem to be getting fewer holiday cards this year. The basket I usually put them in is only 1/3 full. Is that your impression, too?

Are you sending out more than last year? Less? The same? How many do you generally send out? We are sending out about 150 this year.

There was more this year than last, but less than the years before that. The price of cards and postage have both gone up. With each postage hike, we see a few less.

It's a pain to send them out, but I really do enjoy receiving them, especially if there's some sort of newsletter tucked inside. We're such a mobile society. Friends move away, you don't get to see them regularly and even regular emails don't have the intimacy of one of those silly newsletters.
