In this digital age, we asked in a recent poll whether readers still practice the ages-old tradition of sending Christmas cards — and whether the practice is reciprocated.
By a slim majority, our readers said they still send and get cards in the mail. Slightly fewer said they get cards but do not reciprocate. Very few who participated in the poll responded that they are senders but not receivers.
We asked, “Do you send or receive Christmas cards in the mail?”
