Email Christmas Cards
 
This year I would like to try something different and I need to know if this is way too tacky or not. Instead of sending out numerous Christmas cards, using up valuable trees, stamps and time, I was thinking of scanning ONE really funny card front and sending it out to my family and friends en masse with my Christmas wishes as an email. Don't worry, everyone will be on the BCC list so they don't feel spammed. Any idea about Email Christmas Cards? Is this TOO cheap?
 
 
I imagine opinions would vary on this topic. First, I think it would depend upon how the people on your Christmas card list would take it. Some don't like newsletters and mass-mailed stuff, and if you are concerned about what they think, you might want to find out, sort of put out feelers to check what your friends and family think about that. Myself, it's not something I would do. I dislike sending attachments to e-mails, since not everyone can easily read it. I actually like sending cards (and letters, too) and we don't have a huge mailing list, so it's not too hateful a task. We also buy our cards on sale or discounted from previous Christmases. E-cards and the like haven't replaced the old-fashioned paper card in my way of thinking. :) I'm not sure that it would be viewed as cheap so much as it might be viewed as being rather impersonal. "Cheap" isn't the problem, in my opinion. Rather, it's extremely tacky. You're proposing to disregard the little matter of copyright, spending a few fractions of a second per recipient to send them something you've stolen. I'll just bet that everyone on your list will be real appreciative If you feel you *must* send electronic cards, you can draw your own, or there are numerous sites that let you send electronic greetings free.
