Social Media vs the Holiday Card
It is that time of year again, I know you have been dying to read all about Uncle Jerry’s year in his annual Christmas card, get excited! For my siblings and I this time of year is humorous, we love to read holiday letters and add in colorful commentary. But each year these letters become fewer and fewer. Is social media to blame for our dwindling source of holiday humor?
In a world where most adults are checking and updating their personal social media platforms daily if not hourly are holiday letters a thing of the past? Have you stopped writing letters because you feel connected already? One Salt blog reported that, people between 18 and 24 years old will wish 50 festive good tidings through social networks, while only sending six traditional Christmas cards. They also admit they will spend 20 minutes using the internet on their mobile on Christmas day.
What will you be doing this year? Traditional or New media Holiday cards?

I love the holiday card graphic in your post! I’ve noticed in the past few years that traditional holiday cards have dwindled as I suspect that social media and digital cards are playing a major part in this downward spiral as your blog points out. This year was the first time my employer chose to send out a digital holiday card instead of the traditional card with the reason being that digital cards are less time consuming to send out, have the ability to reach more people and are less expensive.
