1) we usually send 'yearly' cards if any- something funny and winter-related, with a quick note inside to family or friends we don't get to talk to very often online or on the phone- if they ever get mailed at all, it's a miricle, so... what... april? (grins, ducks, and RUNS)

2) in a mall or shopping center, yes... houses, no. creepy and dangerous.

3) Hell Yes! If I hadn't, I'd be a piss poor country boy!
