It has been years since I received a red, red real Chinese New Year greeting card or sent one out. For the past few years, all I do is send out mass messages via blogs, message boards, email, Twitter, Facebook, etc. And that's what my friends are doing as well. Sad, huh? My mother received a Chinese New Year greeting card today, in pink envelope. I think it's a dying trend already seeing how expensive it is to send out cards by regular mail. Air mail is of course worse!
Even though my mother still receives hardcopy greeting cards, what she does is collect them all, from herself, her friends and relatives and send them all to a children's home (I think) in Penang so that the children there could make craftwork with these good quality cards and sell them for revenue for the home. I think it's a good idea but I told my mother that it's more practical to send cash.
Anyway, I'd like to wish everyone who will be celebrating Chinese New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai. May the Year of the Ox bring you much blessings!
