Holiday traditions

What's up with holiday cards.  I try to write a funny little family letter to let our closest friends know what's been up in the last year.  So far this year, and yes it is Christmas eve, we have received two cards from families that we don't even know that share the same preschool class as our boys (like why bother?) and a slew of cards from friends with their names printed on them but they didn't even bother to sign them or even try to put in a note.  Yeah, its nice to see a picture of your kids.  But if that is all you are sending, without even signing, then either we are not close enough for you to waste the stamp, or we are so close you didn't need bother.  Maybe I'm the only one that likes a letter, but I want to reach out and let you know what is up, and frankly I'd love to hear what is up on your end.  Frugal, yeah, stop the endless cards if there is no content and no connection.  Just email me.  Then at least I'll have a good address at which to reach you.
