Interesting! Seems like we need to double plant trees to make up with 25-30 Millions being sold annually. I just hope we’ll still have a green society after 10 years.

2 Billion! I can’t believe that number of greeting cards. I didn’t thought of that. This post is nice to know. Thanks for sharing.

Really? More than 2 billion greeting cards exchanged? As in, the tangible ones?

Geez … and I’ve never even sent ONE since 1997! I would have thought that this industry is on a rapid decline already … what with emails, online cards and text messages all around!

Impressive numbers, from my opinion. The one that made me smile was the number of letters sent to Santa Claus.

It’s nice that somebody really answers those letters, but I guess those kids don;t want an answer to their letter in the shape of another letter, but more likely they expect some presents.

Happy holidays to everyone

The numbers aren’t too surprising considering we’re in a pretty deep recession. But I’m GLAD Christmas spending is going down…people spend way too much at Christmas anyway. Hopefully this trend will continue, even after the recession, and folks will start spending their money on other things, like computer repair haha. Happy Holidays everyone!

Yep, it will be interesting to see what the actual numbers come in at after the holiday. Anyway you look at it, I think the consumer is tightening.

Happy Holiday,
Matt
