Is Your Holiday Mailing a Thumbs-Up (or Down)?

If your mail (postal and electronic) is anything like mine, it's been a bonanza lately. Over the last several weeks, I have received calendars, greeting cards, supporter cards, address labels, gift tags and stickers. I've also received a number of donation catalogs, giving me a tangible idea of how my donation will be used.
Being a direct-response junkie, I love this stuff. But I know that's not a universal sentiment. Others prefer e-mail (which I typically disregard since it's all I can do to keep up with my work-related e-mail), and some enjoy going to events sponsored by their favorite nonprofits.
