What Happened To Christmas Cards? by Birdbyrde440(op): 9:15am On Dec 27, 2023
If you're a 90's baby you will understand what I mean.

Back in the day there used to be Christmas and New Cards, this is another stark reminder on how technology can render a whole industry redundant in one fell swoop!

Life pre 1990 was limited, you only related with your immediate community... can you imagine that?
Obviously you don't have this shared reality, you can move along.

Everything about 90s still the best especially being a teen during that era. From music to lifestyle and general state of the nation.
Time has really changed

Social media happened to it ...


Some one tell our wicked leaders that life is temporary..
We just lost a sitting Governor
You go nowhere with looted funds and mansions..

You will only be remembered by the positive impact you had while walking the Earth..

If Naira and the economy continues to nosedive under the care..
if insecurity and poverty rises just as you take charge.. to the extent that people now celebrate being able to afford three square meals.. ..

The deepest part of hell belongs to such fellow and there's nothing anyone can do about it..

Internet happened.

Since the internet became more popular and widely used, physical season greetings and Christmas cards took the back seat and became less demanded. If you go to shops now, you'll hardly find them on shelves unlike in the past where they are the first things you site very close to the door when you enter a shop.

Since people can easily send e cards in a few seconds to their loved one and the fact that it saves time, stress and cost of going to deliver it by hand, they no longer see the need for it and this has also affected it's production.

Technologically induced change that also affected just Valentine, birthday and success cards.
Re: What Happened To Christmas Cards? by drlaykay(m): 2:37pm On Dec 27, 2023
People saying technology are totally wrong as these cards are still big things in many developed countries. I saw a lot of cards this year than I have ever seen.

Nigerians are usually quick to discard things when the newest things arise. Or probably they were not deeply our tradition which made them easy to discard.

Poverty is on the rise in Nigeria that's what happened to the card

Greedy poor Nigerians stopped valuing the genuineness of gifts and started admiring fake life and show off.

I don’t think it’s technology , we still have Christmas cards in other part of the world
We have technology more early in other part of the world before nigeria and cards still exist
I feel it Nigerian value system that happened to cards

For example lovely flowers is not appreciated by Nigerian babe but still very much appreciated in other part of the world

Nigerian value system does not appreciate lovely cards either Christmas or birthday cards

Who card help
