In a large hall, about 30 young people stand at a long table and sort Christmas cards. The blue boxes are everywhere and the Christmas cards come up on the table, checked, maybe stamped and sorted. It's a task that comes back year after year, but those who work with this are getting fewer and fewer.

In the 90s, when the heyday was for the Christmas card, 600 could work here. Now it's 160.

- It's a bit contradictory. Our surveys show that a majority appreciate getting a Christmas card, but it is fewer in practice that sends, says Petra Andersson, post terminal manager Postnord.

Many people are sending Christmas cards digitally nowadays, and it has certainly out-competed some regular Christmas cards. 49 percent want traditional Christmas motifs on their cards and 14 percent make their own, according to a survey conducted by PostNord.

Do you send Christmas cards yourself?

- Sometimes, but not as many as others send. It's a cozy thing to have at home, but I think it will decrease, for many send digital cards, says Isabella Björnum postal worker.
