Speaker 3 (02:48):
It's a day to gather a stack of cards, maybe
a family photo, and a roll of stamps to send
holiday chair to about fifty people on your list. It's
a dying form. Back in the eighties, about seventy five
percent of sent holiday cards. American Greeting says this year
only about forty percent of us will do it. And

Mark Mayfield.

jackpotter roughly one than two hundred and ninety two million.
