How we translate this hope for 2023 and beyond so that it becomes a mantra, would hopefully become the task of our creative writers, artists, and image makers. MBOpinions READ:
While going through the Christmas and New Year greetings on Facebook and the social media, I can’t help noticing how the latter have become so creative in providing us a wide choice of greetings through “Emoji” and packaged wise sayings and literary works. Thus, we had saved hours of travel to bookstores and malls to select suitable cards for the occasion.
Observers say the biggest change in the greeting card industry is the transition from cards bought in stores to those personalized online. One of course saves money and time not to mention saving the environment through this change. But many still continue to buy greeting cards which they send by mail for the simple reason that they still prefer its physical presence – that the receiver can hold the card and keep it as a remembrance.
But the more important point I’d like to make is the kind of message that is transmitted in our online greeting cards. I think all of us would agree that we have more choices offered in the online platform. I am continually amazed at the variety of messages offered for every occasion. In our country where there is endemic poverty, we remember messages of wishing for food on the table for everyone. Some pray for the end of violence, especially to children and women, and employment for everyone.
