There's no clear winner in this debate since so much relies on your personal priorities. Ultimately, you can, and should, do what works best for you. If you want to try sending Christmas cards, there's a way to do it that won't break the bank or make you feel too bad about the potential waste component.
Think about who you want to send a card to, and narrow the list down to around five or six people. Skip the major retailers and go to your local dollar store. With the price pressure off a bit, take your time considering the card or cards to buy. Weigh the image on the front and the pre-written statement inside.
Alternatively, prioritize blank cards instead. These will force you write something specific to the person you're sending the card to instead of relying on what someone else has written and signing your name at the bottom. You can — and should — still write something personal even if the statement is already written inside the card. If this process works for you, if it adds something to your year, consider doing it again next year and expanding your list.
Continue shopping at the dollar store for your cards, or spend the year learning how to make your own cards for an extra personal touch. If you're worried about the environmental impact, add a cheeky note at the end that encourages the receiver to recycle it. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data. Select personalised content. Create a personalised content profile.
