e-mailing Christmas greetings

[WendyS]

What does everybody regard as correct etiquette these days regarding e-mailing Christmas greetings?
We send out so many cards and a "round robin" Christmas letter to friends we rarely see that it's becoming an increasing time-consuming chore, not to mention the expense of postage.
I announced I was going to send as many letters & gretings as possible this year by e-mail, especially to friends overseas but my husband was horrified, saying he thought it looked mean not to send a card.
What does everybody else do?

To me putting a xmas card up is as much a tradition as putting the tree up.Where am I supposed to put your e mail. (Don`t answer that)

The trouble with those email greetings is that most often they are not personal, they are usually sent to about 50 people and have some cheesy or rude jpg jolly ho santa thing attached.

I'd prefer to receive a card through the post from close friends and family, but saying that, I am useless at sending them out and never make the final posting date.

For family and friends in the UK a posted card, for friends in Europe maybe a christmas/happy new year card, and for my friends in the far east & Oz, an individual email with seasons greetings and wishing them all the best for 2007.

Oh I also have cousins in New York who I wil send a card to as I am quite keen to visit them and stay over next year!!

People don't like those 'news' letters in their Christmas Cards. Why not email everyone your news on a regular basis and sent the cards as normal?
