Are Christmas Cards Becoming A Thing Of The Past? [POLL]

Growing up I remember my grandmother sitting down and writing a quick note to put inside each Christmas card she sent out. She painstakingly signed each card from her and my grandfather, addressed each of the hundred or more envelopes, stuck stamps on them and put them in the mail. She started this process shortly after Thanksgiving so that the cards would arrive in time and not late. Memories like those will live with me forever, but I feel that it is a dying tradition for a lot of people.

I have noticed over the past few years, the number of cards we receive at home are becoming fewer and fewer each year. I can think of a few reasons on why this is happening: less time, email is easier, sending cards through the internet are funnier and more interactive and then there's the cost of a stamp! At nearly fifty cents a stamp, the cost of sending out over a hundred of my grandmothers Christmas cards would be a small fortune for a lot of people.

My wife and I used to take a Christmas pic and have it developed for a Christmas post card from Sam's Club, but we haven't done that in a number of years mainly because of time and the cost of postage.
