I'm not sure everyone will agree with this, but according to a new survey, 45% of people say they don't WANT to talk on the phone on Christmas. They would rather have a text from you.

Another 46% say they would appreciate a phone call. So since it's about half and half, which relative is which?

In our family, I think I have most of them figured out and I'm willing to gamble on which ones are okay with a Merry Christmas text message.

By the way, do you still send Christmas cards? Less than 20% of those surveyed said they will send cards this year. Or the dreaded family update newsletter! (I secretly love those little newsletters, keep 'em coming)
