Sending Christmas cards to family and friends is a tradition that's persisted through the years. When the internet introduced the virtual Christmas e-card, the online cards made a dent in the traditional Christmas card market. But after the hype of the e-card waned, people came back to the sentimental feeling that receiving a personalized paper Christmas card generates. On average today, over two billion Christmas cards travel through the postal service in America to spread the Christmas spirit to family and friends around the globe. Cards depicting snow scenes are generally the most popular, making up 22% of Christmas card designs. Source: BobBooks.co.UK
