Someone sent me an email that linked to a series of photos which was pretty cool.<br /><br />Abbie, yes once you have cute baby it adds an incentive to send out the cards!! ;)<br /><br />Kellie, aight, another one who thinks e-cards are acceptable, Score!<br /><br />Viv, yeah, truthfully most of the people on my list DO use computers, but it is important to note that there are those who just don't use 'em.<br /><br />SDG, thanks for the info.<br /><br />Katy, yes, I agree! A card with no message or anything is still pretty impersonal. Still having them all on your mantle looks all festive and holiday-y.ruchihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17043512641324366469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-71234834458446032322009-12-10T12:10:56.397-08:002009-12-10T12:10:56.397-08:00I'm not sending cards this year just cause I&#...I'm not sending cards this year just cause I'm lazy.<br /><br />I enjoy the e-cards I get from the friends that send them. To me, e-cards or a christmas e-mail can be just as personal (or impersonal) as paper ones.<br /><br />I've always been non plused by people who send paper cards that have their name stamped or printed instead of signed. And not even a short note written off to the side. To me that just screams... "I don't care about you."Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610117543051640146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-47606367390416400512009-12-10T08:42:43.545-08:002009-12-10T08:42:43.545-08:00you could always do e-cards for more extended fami...you could always do e-cards for more extended family & friends while doing paper for a select few who are closer to you or who may not have a computer. <br /><br />Sending paper cards probably makes a bigger impression on those people who aren't necessarily as computer savvy (AKA grandma). <br /><br />Hallmark has an online coupon right now for $5 off a purchase of $5 or more. I got some thank you notes the other day basically for free. <br /><br />They may even have christmas postcards which would cut the cost of postage. Target also has some cards made with non-toxic inks/on recycled paper. Just set a budget of $10 and send some out to the people who it will really matter to.DJLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06333741041132383730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-75495942278663628602009-12-10T01:37:54.325-08:002009-12-10T01:37:54.325-08:00I've never done the card thing but my mother d...I've never done the card thing but my mother does. Her list is shrinking a bit these days but she still likes to write. If she ever can't, I will probably do some of the list just to keep in touch as most of the people on it don't use computers. The rest may get an email anyhow.<br /><br />viv in nzknutty knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00325560883289908412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-54031583121080357742009-12-09T18:36:54.808-08:002009-12-09T18:36:54.808-08:00I've done an ecard of sorts for the last few y...I've done an ecard of sorts for the last few years. I usually take a family photo or photo of the kids and jazz it up in Photoshop, then send it via email with a short note.<br /><br />This year I found a stack of orphan C'mas cards in a C'mas decoration box so I decided to go ahead and use them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17781471734145665351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-13469746343257556332009-12-09T16:53:28.917-08:002009-12-09T16:53:28.917-08:00I used to do cards, but last year I didn't.

Nobody complained and it was a big burden lifted off my shoulders during a busy time. I'm not going to do cards again this year, but probably next year I will, since I'll want to send out pictures of the baby. But I'm taking another break this year!Farmer's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04993260095409544097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203077889905915553.post-19858961489578418762009-12-09T16:47:45.948-08:002009-12-09T16:47:45.948-08:00We stopped doing holiday cards about 5 yrs ago for...We stopped doing holiday cards about 5 yrs ago for the eco reasons and also because I felt that the stress wasn't worth it. I didn't really shift to an e-card option though I've had people send me emails with a photo attached and I think that is a great way to reach out.Green Beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03133847111288382381noreply@blogger.com
