I've sending out Christmas cards only to my immediate family members and close friends.

The value of a real card especially if a loved one lives far away and won't be able to join the whole family for the holidays, is a real card allows them to display it for a few wks. on shelf, etc.

An e-card disappears from the computer once it's opened and viewed. Who wants to display a digital card all the time? You have to use the computer for something else every day anyway.

I didn't bring along my Christmas tree this year when I moved. So real Noel cards mean something physically in my place this year.
