Choose "holiday" greeting cards that include New Year's best wishes.

Walk to your neighbor and hand deliver your greetings - it's good exercise and a chance to visit.

Use the online services like those that Hallmark offers that will stamp and mail your card for you. It will still arrive after Christmas day, but you are sure that they will go out instead of getting forgotten on your desk or left because you didn't have enough stamps.

Attach your Christmas or holiday greeting cards to gifts instead of trying to mail them. Often our greetings are to family, friends, and neighbors or co-workers that we are purchasing a gift for, why not combine your efforts?

Leave Christmas greeting cards on your co-workers desk with a candy cane or Christmas M&M's leaving not only a holiday greeting, but a sweet treat to get them through the last of the holiday season.

Facebook or share your holiday greeting cards with all your online friends using the helpful share button offered on sites like Blue Mountain.com.

Whatever method you choose, remember it's not when the card is delivered it's the thoughts, greeting and well wishes behind your greeting cards that really count.
