New Year’s card
It seems that the number of people who do not issue “New Year’s cards” is increasing.
With the spread of personal computers and mobile devices, people began to exchange New Year’s greetings by e-mail instead of New Year’s cards.
However, in recent years, even at workplaces, the protection of personal information has become noisy,
Stop publishing address books of employees, or “abolish false courtesy” to superiors and colleagues (mid-year and year-end gifts for ceremonies
and stop issuing New Year’s cards), so the number of people who write New Year’s cards has decreased more and more.
I think it is.
According to Japan mail, the number of New Year’s postcards issued for next year 2023 is 1.64 billion, which is this year’s
About 10% less than the number of copies issued in 2022, and more than 60% compared to the largest number in history for 2004.
It is said that it is decreasing.
The fact that young people who use the latest communication tools have no connection with letters and postcards is
I think it’s a trend, but recently, even among elderly people, they stop writing Nengajo, “Nengajo jimai”.
It is said that there are many people who think.
When a company that provides a service for creating New Year’s cards through online shopping put out a collection of examples of sentences for “end-of-life” New Year’s cards,
It seems that the number of orders flooded in more than expected.
The age group of the orderer is mainly in the 60s ~ 80s, and the text says, “It’s an annual New Year’s card, but excuse me at the end of this year.
I would like to.” That’s the feeling.
At the end, it always says, “Although it is selfish, thank you for your continued relationship in the future.
I will.” It is important to appeal that we are not going to give off “insulation” by adding such things.
An important point.
It seems that orders for postcards declaring “New Year’s cards” have increased many times over the past few years.
For elderly people, think ahead and organize your relationships, and send out New Year’s cards as part of your “end of life”.
I think we should stop it, but in the case of the current working generation, the way of thinking is fundamentally different.
For one thing, the role of the New Year’s card has already ended.
Certainly, in the past, we checked the safety of distant relatives and acquaintances with a New Year’s card once a year, and also this one is safe.
It was a valuable opportunity to let them know.
But now, if you want to contact someone you don’t want to break off a connection with, no matter where they are in the world,
It’s an era where you can easily contact them.
In such a situation, is there any point in “dating only with New Year’s cards”? Some people question that.
I’ve been writing for a long time, so I’ve been doing it somehow.
But to be clear, there’s no need.
I have to write, I have to do it, even for free, at the end of the year when it is busy, it becomes a source of great stress
There is also an opinion that there is.
My mother likes to draw picture letters and send them to close friends, and New Year’s cards are an extension of her hobby.
There is, but unless it is, “New Year’s card” = “seed of pain”, it is not too busy.
In today’s world, as we run out of time and feelings, traditional culture will disappear.
I feel a little lonely.
