Are Christmas Cards A Thing Of The Past

Do you still send Christmas cards, or has that tradition disappeared now that everyone's on social media?

I remember when checking the mailbox in December was so exciting. There would always be cards in there, and I would hang them around the house as part of the holiday decor.

But times have definilety changed. I actually received my first Christmas card of the year yesterday, but it was the only one I've received so far. With most people just posting on social media, the stack of cards I used to display has certainly shrunk.

It seems like sending Christmas cards is a tradition many people are comfortable letting go of these days. Plus, it can be pricey when you factor in postage.

According to a poll reported in the New York Post, six in ten adults are receiving fewer Christmas cards.

Four in ten don’t believe Christmas cards are as important as they used to be, three in ten aren’t planning to send a single card this year, and 35 percent wish they didn’t have to, but feel obligated to do so as they still receive them.

Either way, it's all about staying in touch with the people you care about. So whether that's online or sending out cards, it's whatever works best for you!
