Like many I know, I used to send a LOT of Christmas cards. Through the years, the list got smaller and smaller till it was mostly just family and very close friends. Now, I have not sent any in several years. I always think about it and think "maybe this year I really will!".... but then mostly I don't, or just a handful. Like you, I used to LOVE getting cards in the mail and hanging them up around an inside door facing. It was just part of Christmas and the decor.
I have never seen any with the fringe. All of them are very nice, but those are very special.
