HATE DAY cards? No I just wanted to fill the page :-)!!!

We were using cards from our childhood days. We were not just writing and handing cards but we were POSTING cards to our friends & family staying at distant place through our postal system.
We bought not so flashy greeting cards in those days but the idea of our expressions was added into the inner page of a card with color pens and carefully writing the address on its envelope. Then, at the nearest post office, paste a two rupees stamp on it and the red letter box humbly took care of the rest. We eagerly waited for its reply and the joy of receiving the same from our friends and family at the doorstep delivered by a postman is unforgettable. We don’t have that “posting" cards rituals any more, though, but greeting cards have maintained their place even more than before, throughout the year & in every aspect of our feelings & expressions. And the card DAYs are a click away!!
My little one will never know what is a postcard or posting greeting cards and I am changing with all things changing.
