What is the Goal of the Holiday Card?

So what exactly is the point of the holiday card? Before I had a child, I always assumed it was to show off how cute your kids are and how happy you are and if there's a background shot of the house/car, how rich you are. I know, it's a bit cynical. But hellll-o! Whose blog do you think you are reading?So, now that we have a kid who we think is pretty darn cute, we are wondering if we should send a card. Josh doesn't want to bother. But I am thinking it might bring in some extra loot. You know, as a little reminder that we're still here, still renting. Maybe I should have us pose with food stamps. Think that will work?
