I can understand your parent's concern. As Mom to 3 teenagers, I have to admit that I would be hesitant to let them exchange mail / presents etc with people that they had met online. Maybe you could get your folks to spend a bit of time browsing here, and also do a search for previous Christmas Card threads to show them - it may make them feel more at ease?
