Getting anything from anybody today is different then we grew up. I believe that when kids send cards, digital or hard cards, it's out of obligation, not because of a lot of thought. We also, have told the kids and grand kids to not send cards just because tradition says they should. We do talk to the kids a couple times a month and the older the grand kids get the better they communicate. Now we even occasionally get a digital card, not because it's a traditional send a card day, but because they thought of us on a random day. I think the traditional send a card day is our generation and if we get one it's the kids and grand kids attempt to patronize us and probably took them a few seconds to pick it out. Would like to be something else but I don't think so.
