Christmas & birthdays cards v electronic cards,

[alfred]

i begin to wonder with the rise of postage stamps and more people including myself  of sending electronic cards as well as Christmas cards to friends, and relatives, will electronic cards eventually take over from receiving a Christmas. Or even a birthday, christening card or any thing else on a card ,

as it is sending any thing electronic means that in many occasions your electronic card will arrive on a person tablet. laptop or even a desk top with in seconds of sending it,

where as a card could take weeks to arrive , some don't even arrive at all, ?

Q; have you any thoughts on sending or even receiving cards,.

To be honest I only hand deliver the cards. If I'm not seeing any of the family in the few weeks beforehand I post all their parcels ect putting the cards in with the presents. I usually post a Christmas Card within a group online.

I still post Christmas cards, but those who live nearby I shove thru the letterbox.
It's nice receiving paper cards as they look very festive.  I've got glass doors in my sitting room so I stick them up on there.  Previously stuck them on the wooden door and it brought all the paint off

Oopps  When the kids were at school you couldn't move in the house for all the cards, they were everywhere.

Mine have dwindled down to a handful.. We stopped posting cards a while back because of the expense..
I was pleased to receive an e-card from Alfred.. Lovely thought..
My family and friends use (tippy tongue) . We take pics on phone then the firm send them to whoever on a postcard..
It works well.

I do a mix. Postal cards - about 20 - e-cards - about the same, and hand delivered - only three. I sen E-card to folk I know appreciate them, postal card to those of whom I do not know their feelings about E-cards (and quite a few of them don't have computers)

If I thought that someone begrudged the price of a
stamp to wish me well, then I'd best not know them.
Same with a telephone call.

WOW, You in a bad mood today? Are you ok?

I don't begrudge the recipient anything. I do begrudge paying many times over the price of what a stamp used to cost for a degraded service though so I no longer post any cards.

[Alex]

The stamps cost more than the cards now, I just have to live with it as some people are too far away for me to push thru the letterbox.

WOW, I'm absolutely fine, fine.
I do miss licking an old postage stamp
for a letter to my love.  :-)
Maybe that's what is wrong with the World now,
not enough licking

You may just have hit the nail on the head there.
