Time to update the holiday card list.....

[poltr1]

Every year, at about this time, I determine who's been naughty and who's been nice, based on whether or not they've sent me any holiday cards in the past few years. The naughty ones get knocked off my card list. The nice ones stay on, and get greeting cards. Last year, I only sent out 40 cards. This year, I might bump it up to 50, since I'll be sending to a few more relatives this year.

I usually send a photo card with a picture of my daughter. That goes to family, relatives, and a few good friends. I also write an annual newsletter, updating people of the significant events in the past year.

This year, in an effort to reduce my greeting card costs, I'd like to use email to send my holiday greetings. But I have a question. Is it still considered tacky to send holiday greetings by email?

If you want a holiday newsletter from me this year, and you don't mind it being sent via email, drop me a line at jim dot poltrone at gmail dot com.

The question of e vs land mail depends a lot on the people you're sending to. A lot of your peers live on-line and would thing nothing amiss of a e-greeting. Then there are folks who don't do computers. Play it by ear and split you're list.

Also remember to tailor the ecards to the person you are sending it to. It's harder for someone to find something "tacky" when they find themselves liking it. But yes, take it case by case. I know that this year the bulk of my holiday cards are going to be sent via email.
