Christmas Cards and Holiday Cheer!?

While I'm on the subject of the holidays...it's getting close to Christmas card writing time. I'm debating whether to send any out this year. I suppose it's contrary to what this blog is about...being thrifty and productive.
Stamps are $.41, so it will probably run about $25 to send to everyone (if you do one, you've got to do them all). Furthermore, 2007 was probably one of the worst years of my entire life. I'm not feeling particularly festive this year. Part of me wants to put up the false front and do as I always do...send the cards, fill the front yard with 3000 watts of Christmas cheer, etc. The other part of me just wants to curl up in the fetal position and let the season pass by.
