Running out of time to send out holiday cards? Why not send a video greeting?

Popular video sharing site YouTube has built a nice collection of video greeting cards you can share to friends and loved ones this year.  Since most of them veer towards the humerous, it is probably best to keep these to people whom you already know what their sense of humor is like.

It is very easy to use.

• Preview the videos
• Click on “Send the video as a greeting card” at the bottom of the preview window
• Pick a background
• Enter up to a 230 character greeting
• Enter the email addresses of the people you wish to send it to
• Click on “Send this video greeting” and you’re done

If you are feeling really brave, you can also create your own video pretty easily.

The service is free, saves you having to send cards by traditional mail and saves trees!  Hurry if you still want to print your own holiday greeting cards, or simply go this route if you run out of time.
