Mother of Mercy, Could This Be the End of Hallmark?

Holiday cards taking a backseat in era of Facebook | OregonLive.com: "Facebook may be killing the Christmas card, or at least its accompanying year-in-review letter.

That's good or bad news, depending on how long your friends and relatives go on.

Christmas card numbers have waned for years. Market researcher Mintel International said sales started slowing in 2005 and by 2009 had industry had posted a $17 million loss."

I'm just about to send my end-of-year letter be e-mail, but no cards this year. I don't think I'll be sending many cards ever again. Too bad, because they're much nicer to put on your mantelpiece than e-mail or a list of FB statuses.
