To this day, I still get excited to receive a personalized note in the mail. I love the feel of the paper in my hand, admiring the stationery/card that was selected, evaluating the affixed stamp, pondering the color of ink used to write, and feeling close to a person because I know their hand rested on the page. For me, snail mail beats an email or online posting any day.
