Worse than not getting a card at all is when someone sends out block emails; especially those with some link to a cute interractive website. Sure, send me the link but how is this a greeting? How is this making an effort to acknowledge a friendship or kinship?

I found that "younger people" haven't been taught about correspondence.
I would rather get nothing than an e-mail for a birthday or holiday. It is nice to be acknowledged. I used to send them out, but now, I just send to a select few. People that I know will appreciate my efforts. I make my own cards, so it really is personal. People now are "busy" with the "i am so busy and important" disease. It is sad, the world is changing. I will always love a lovely card or letter in my mailbox. Even some of my good friends just don't make time. it's unfortunate. Do NOT take it personally, please!!
