To a Christmas card list that's as long as your arm, that is. Sending out hundreds of cards is a waste of your valuable time, energy and money. There are two categories of people on your list, right? People you have other contact with, and people that you only exchange Christmas cards with. If you don't like someone enough to talk to them when it's not Christmas, just cross them off your list and be done with it. If you do care enough about them to call, write or see them at other times, hurray! You can call, write or see them some other time! No need to send them an insincere, mass produced card. Since your list is now much smaller, you can send a nice picture or personal note! Or, just tell them you're not sending them this year. Your nearest and dearest will understand. Joy to the World!

What about creating a fun blog instead? That's the card that keeps on giving. (You can even do photos and videos and stuff...)
We're doing both. We already sent out our Christmas cards and when it is a little closer I plan on putting the picture and letter on our blog! The best of both worlds!
(Yes, my Christmas cards are stupid early, but what do you expect, we are PCSing)
My list is very short, mostly because I am TERRIBLE at keeping up with addresses. I never write them in my book, so it's way too much of a hassle to round them up. But I do try to keep the blog up and keep in touch via email....
