I was at the bookstore the other day looking for some snazzy Christmas cards to send to my family and friends. Christmas cards are so expensive nowadays, and I can never find anything playful. I’m not into the sappy cards. So, this year I’m going to send out e-cards. They’re free and I can customize them to reflect my personality.
Kevin and I are talking about Christmas cards. Listen in.

Kevin: Some e-cards are not tacky. Actually, my mother sends me, actually sends me this sort of cool e-card. Like, they’re pretty classy.
Dave: I think e-cards can be cool, not tacky. But I prefer the tacky ones.
Kevin: Oh, you do.
Dave: I do. I’m a real cheapskate, I don’t like to send real cards. But, if I can go on the internet and find a tacky, a tacky e-card to send, I’ll do that and I’ve done my duty.
Kevin: Is that what you’re sending out for Christmas?
Dave: Oh yeah.

There are a lot of ways to keep in touch with your friends and family. Sometimes it takes too long to write emails to everyone, which is why e-cards are nice. You can create one e-card and send it to everyone to let them know you’re still alive and kickin’ and thinking about them. Here are some of my favorite e-card sites:
