Being the lazy one in my relationship, my wife takes charge of this holiday activity. She gets me ready for our photo and even this year decided to dress up our puppy. We do not ramble on about our lives since most everyone can find out what I’m doing through the 100 sites I currently use. But what is cool is going to your friends house and seeing your stupid little X-Mas or holiday card on their fridge. With the internet you can’t do that and that is the difference. You cannot share an internet card with someone the same way that you can a physical card. It is a conversation starter for parties at your house, a way for friends to say, “hey that’s Jen and Greg, what are they up to?” and so on.

Yes you can forward on an email card, but it just isn’t the same no matter how lame and time consuming it is.

I agree. I love sending handwritten letters when given the opportunity, but the number of addresses I have is very limited. People our age are very mobile and it is very difficult to keep your address logs up to date. People don’t give out addresses each time they move nearly as much anymore as it isn’t as necessary. Email generally sticks with you as you move as well as social networking profiles.

Electronic Deliberate Relationship Enhancement is easy, convenient, and can still be very personal if sent directly to someone as opposed to mass emailing. If you have older family members you have addresses for that rarely move around go ahead and send the handwritten letter. However, for most contacts in our generation the electronic option makes it a lot easier to maintain relationships with a larger number of people why still adding a personal touch.
