It’s time to get out the age-old list and decide who’s getting a Christmas card from you this year. Should you send one to the new neighbours? It it weird to send one to the friends you haven’t seen for three years? Have you resorted to just signing your name and not writing anything else?

You can inject some life into your Christmas cards by designing them through Photobox and Yoodoo. It’s all online and you can choose to have them sent to you or print your message over the internet before having them sent direct to friends around the world. No more messy stops at the Post Office: “one for Italy, one for Australia, two for Jersey” etc… If you’d like to use them again for birthdays or anniversaries, Yoodoo even do a free e-mail reminder service.
