Christmas By The Numbers [infographic]

We’re only one day away from Christmas so we thought we’d share this fun infographic from History.com that highlights some surprising statistics about the Christmas holiday.

Did you know that Americans send 1.5 billion Christmas cards every year? Or that the U.S. Postal Service delivers 15.7 billion cards, letters and packages between Thanksgiving and Christmas?

We design, print and mail quite a few holiday cards – just a small fraction of that 15.7 billion – so we’re happy to see that Americans still love sending and receiving printed holiday greetings.

As a reminder, Alexander’s will be closed for the Christmas holiday, but will be open for business on December 26th. We hope you have a fantastic holiday filled with lots of holiday cheer.
