A Closing Note on Christmas Cards
Rutger Bregman: "Typically our social circles number no more than about one hundred and fifty people. Scientists arrived at this limit in the 1990s, when two American researchers asked a group of volunteers to list all the friends and family to whom they sent Christmas cards. The average was sixty - eight households, comprising some one hundred and fifty individuals." (232)
Oddly, it's true! The stats don't lie!
That's exactly how many cards I send!
