This week at Word of Mouth we’ve asked the skeptics of Christmas gift shopping to question how we do the holidays. Next up on the holiday guillotine is Christmas cards. Yes, it’s the time of year when we dress up all the kids and pets in festive sweaters for a family photo. Seal that up with a cheerful note and a glittery card and pop it in the mail. But, in the age of email, Facebook and Twitter, have Christmas cards become passé?

Writer and blogger Jane Roper has been wondering whether it’s the year for her family to ditch the cards. She blogs for Baby Squared at Babble.com.
