If only I would think to send online cards! They get better and better every year, and make me just as happy as when there's an envelope in the mailbox. It's the same idea yet different sentiment as online bills!
Here's one from Purvi & Gilles showing Santa Claus ski-jumping over my car before I have to brush off the snow and go to work:
Just like their brilliant Halloween party invitations, Mark & Julie combine their love of illustration and social commentary (all that blow still on the streets of San Francisco). Those oxen will also be served in October as part of the tradition of adding the year's Chinese zodiac animal in the non-veg ghoulash. I believe for year of the dragon they just use Spam:
Even a simple album cover from the past does the job, as this awesome one from Ashley at Saqi. I think he meant it in jest but I think it totally rocks and want to find a copy for myself:
Even if the album is fake (like this one, right? Right?) it still means that my Facebook Husband is thinking of me during the holidays:
And then from Emilie at Gryphon Press a nice animated card which has come a long way in, oh, the last decade or so of such things. You'll know what I mean when you see this. The initial creepiness wears off very quickly, at least for me! In all honesty this is one sweet card!
So no excuses for next year. I'll try to get started in September or something, which is probably around the next time I remember to update my blog.
