Hey. Whatever happened to Christmas cards?

I’m trying to figure out if I missed the memo. When did everybody turn into a collective pile of scrooges and stop sending Christmas cards? I mailed ours two weeks ago: one to each of my business clients and about a dozen cards to friends. However, I’m sorry to report that as of today — the 21st of December — Sam and I have only received three. THREE. That’s not even enough to decorate the mantle of our fireplace! I totally understand “cutting back” during a recession, but I didn’t even get this year’s stupid molar in a Santa hat card from my dentist. Happy holidays to all of you Ebenezers from Sam and me.
