I'm a great fan of The Net, but I do miss the countless Christmas cards that adorned the mantelpiece in our home when I was young.
Do you miss waiting for the postie/mailman to come in the weeks before Christmas Day? I do.
I guess only older people would remember what an important part the cards were when decorating.
I'd like to hear how others feel about the change E-cards has brought.

No I don't miss it. My mother would hand the cards all on the back of the front door. It wasn't really a big deal to me so I was never waiting anxiously for the mail man to deliver cards. I haven't sent paper cards in years. In fact today I just send Xmas e-cards to friends and family. Took about five minutes no postage and no more licking nasty tasting stamps. Oh yeah they don't make those any more either.

I send E-cards too. They're quicker and cheaper, however, I'm refering to pre web times, when in most Australian homes cards were part of the decorations.

I do like the concept of getting christmas cards but in reality they just take up space. In this day and age I rather get virtual cristmas cards. They still give the same heartwarming feeling but I don't have to deal with finding somewhere put all of te cards. Right now in my house we have recieved over 10 cards in the mail but we have nowhere to put them so tey are still sitting in their envelopes and in the mail bin. After the holidays the only place they are going to go is in te trash. So instead of cutting down more trees and wasting paper people should send virtual cards. If there was suppose to be money in te cards for children just send the virtual card and send the money in another way. At the end of the day people will still get their cards that they love so much and also save a bit of the environment.

In Australia in the fifties the cards were donated to The Salvation Army, who I think passed them onto orphanages where children used them. Merry ChristmaS.

I am not big collector of Christmas Cards. I used to keep some of month or two, but I was not decorating my house with them.
E cards are easier and are having the same meaning.
Merry Christmas!
