How many Christmas Cards did you get?

I sent 45 and I got 22 cards this year, I do think that the last postage hike stopped the tradition for some. I have so many the remark back that they look forward every year to our photo card of the family so I don't think we will stop sending them anytime soon. I like the tradition.

I think we may have gotten 6/7.... no kidding, that's about the amount we got.

To me that is what Facebook is for. I see photos and vacation posts.

Facebook is too much like having blinders on because people are much more detailed in Christmas cards with an annual letter.
The last two years on Facebook I have had several friends get married and I have found myself asking......"who is this person you married?" You look back at their Facebook and see them at a holiday dinner with their boyfriend/girlfriend, on vacation with them, then they post they are engaged to somebody they have never mentioned on Facebook before. Thanksgiving dinner with boyfriend/girlfriend, getting engaged to someone else at Christmas!
Of course, I forgot to write a Christmas letter this year, and did not realize it until Christmas day. My wife did not remind me and sent our our Christmas cards without even mentioning it. Not sure if SHE forgot too, or just decided it was not work mentioning. And we actually had an active year.
