Great Holiday Finds #1

Gone are the days of snail mail. Nowadays, we get most greetings on Facebook or Twitter. It’s the birthday of your dear friend? No problem, send an e-card! Is it your sister’s wedding anniversary? Find a cute picture, post it on Facebook with your greeting.

All the more, when you see that the message on the card is handwritten!
