I am except for the few people that I don't have their e-mail address or for some people that don't do e-mail (yes they still exist!).

With the price of stamps, it is so expensive to send the darn cards! I got some beautiful $12 Christmas cards for .99 at Marcs a few days ago. They are gorgeous! But I'm saving them for the few people that are actually getting snail mail cards. Everyone else is getting e-mail cards.

I really like getting e-mail cards! And I figure it is better than nothing! I'd rather have that $10-15 I'm going to save in stamps to buy ds something for under the tree.

Not me - I LOVE to send and get Christmas cards in the mail, and my family loves to look at them throughout the season. We cut down our list a little bit last year, but I can't see ever eliminating paper cards altogether.

Me too. I can cut back in lots of other areas but I love the exchange of cards, especially photo cards to see how much everyone's kids / family has grown and changed over the year.

I also love to send and get cards! I hang them up so we can all look at them and I save the photos in a special box. E-mail ones just aren't the same.

Nooo...I love to send and receive cards. eCards are just kinda 'bleh' to me...for any occasion. It's just not the same. It's just not something I would ever entertain doing, if I couldn't afford to send cards, I might send postcards or hand deliver, but I wouldn't send eCards...but that's me.

Not here either----there are few things I love more then Christmas and the cards are a big part to me. The whole family gets dressed up and we get our yearly photo done too. I love to send them and will keep doing so unless something drastic happens.

I don't like receiving eCards so I'd never send them.

I really like sending out Christmas cards every year. Even with it costing $, it's one tradition I'm not going to give up!
