I was browsing through a rack of Raya cards at the supermarket
earlier. It has been ages since I actually gave out Raya cards, or
Chinese New Year cards for that matter. Nowadays the wishes are mostly
digital. A few years back I found a couple of funny Raya cards and
bought them to give to friends. Another time, I sent out a few Chinese
New Year cards, just for the sake of sending something (after all, I
never know what to write in letters these days, when you can keep up on
your friends' latest news more quickly online).
Anyway, seeing some cards with "Untuk sahabat" (for a friend) written on them brought back memories of when I used to buy stacks of cards in primary school, to give to just about every one of my classmates. After that, I also saw "Untuk Cikgu" (for Teacher) cards. Also something I used to buy.
I guess, in a way, we're helping the environment these days by not sending so many greeting cards. On the other hand, all the electricity we are using in its place may not be helping Mother Nature that much either. :P
