寒中見舞い ([i]kanchuumimai[/i], midwinter greetings) or 寒中お見舞い ([i]kanchuu o-mimai[/i]) are postcards that people in Japan send to friends during mid winter. They typically contain the phrase "寒中(お)見舞い申し上げます" ([i]kanchuu (o-)mimai moushi agemasu[/i]). Unlike [[shochuumimai]], kanchuumimai are often used as substitutes of [[nengajou]]. When you were not able to send nengajou during New Year holidays for some reason, or when you received 喪中欠礼 ([i]mochuu ketsurei[/i]) from one of your friends, they will be sent. ([i]Mochuu ketsurei[/i] means "Please forgive me not sending you New Year greetings. Obeying Japanese custom, I shall refrain from offering you New Year's greetings while in mourning.")
