There was a time we would go hunting for Christmas cards and prepare a list of those who would receive these cards. That was stopped and it was a digital card that was thoughtfully created by me and with just one click it would go to all who were on the list. Not any more.
It is now calling up people on the phone and passing on Christmas greetings. My phone will start ringing too. I got just one Christmas card this year.

I used to send out around 25 cards every Christmas and got about that many, too. Now, I don't send any cards and received one this year. Most of my friends just send a text message wishing Pretty and I a Merry Christmas. I like texts a lot better.
Merry Christmas to you and your family!

We had this tradition of visiting during Christmas time and then I would look at what cards my siblings had received - we always had them displayed - and used to feel a bit hurt if they got more than I did (lol)

@DaddyEvil We displayed them along with the Christmas tree sometimes
To think of it sending cards was sure a task

@allknowing 
At the other house we had a big bookcase in the living room and I'd display the cards we received each year on it. After Christmas, I'd gather the cards up and put them away with the leftover cards I didn't send that year. The next year, I'd make sure and send cards to the people who sent us one first and then made out the rest of the card list and sent those out.

@LadyDuck All in all you have covered every one who you have in your list. Sending a digital card is easy. Go for bcc in the mail. I did that. Some whose email address I do not have I sent them through FB messenger.

@allknowing We are going to call the only cousin left from my husband side and I will call my niece to wish to her baby girl a Happy Birthday, she was born on Christmas day 3 years ago. I sent e-cards to all our friends and they will text to thank and wish Merry Christmas.

@allknowing cellphones are great help in connecting with our relatives and friends especially this special season of the year.

@magallon But nothing like a face to face interaction Years ago we would go visiting during the season but that is not happening these days.

I remember the days where I go to a bookstore and look for Christmas cards to send to friends and cousins. Now, what technology did was to stop that and even my card sending had stopped too.

I think that the personal touch of a phone call or an actual physical card is the best way to do it!
