It's been already 25 days since the New Year started. But yesterday I still got a new year's card. At this time usually we do not send new year's card but send kanchu mimai(寒中見舞い), midwinter greeting card. I also received kanchu mimai. They are usually sent by those who lost their family member last year and could not send the new year's cards. Before the new year comes, usually those family member send mochu hagaki (喪中はがき), mourning greeting card saying "please allow us not to send the new year's greeting because we are in mourning."
Recently I received some new year greetings from Spain, Argentine, and the USA too.
