    Thumbs up Send a free snail mail card through Google? :D

    https://services.google.com/fb/forms/gmailholidaycard/

    Spread some holiday cheer, one card at a time.

    Sure, email is great, but there's something uniquely heartwarming about the kind of card that comes in the actual mail — especially for folks who don't hear from us as often as they should, simply because they aren't online.

    So we've made it as easy to send snail-mail holiday cards as it is to send email. Simply fill out the form below and we'll send one free holiday postcard on your behalf. Yes, through the mail and everything.
    Way cool! I'm giving it a try.

    That is too bad that it is not. I assume that it is due to international postage costs or the like.

    Shame they don't send to Australia.

    I sent my card to the Googleplex to thank them for providing the service.
    I could tell you a joke about UDP. But I'm not sure you would get it!

    Well it's probably part of an automated system so I don't see why they wouldn't.

    You're probably right. I suppose I just wondered if an employee might spot it and transfer it from postal mail to inter-office mail before it got stamped/sent.

    Indians might count a couple of states extra anyway, never know when a new state comes in to existence.

    With them running out of cards already, maybe the cards will be a true collectible long-term.
