Have you received any holiday cards in the mail? [View all]

I know it's a dying concept but we usually receive at least 20 or so.

So far, aside from the bulk mail card from Jimmy Carter, we have received one in the mail. We don't use Facebook so I have no idea if that's what people are doing instead of cards.

Do you send them? Have you gotten any yet?
