Top Sites for Free Holiday E-cards

Snail mail cards are a laborious task each year. Why not give them an animated, musical, or interactive card in just seconds via holiday e-cards? Not only are they fun, but they take the anguish out of writing holiday cards and make it enjoyable again. The only tough decision is choosing between the thousands of free e-cards available to you. To make things easy for you, here is a list of the top sites for free holiday e-cards.

Americangreetings.com

American Greetings' cards are a popular company for regular paper cards for the holidays. But the quality and sentiment of these cards can also be found in their free holiday e-cards. The e-cards load quickly and include such fun features as parodies (e.g. the "Can't Stuff this" e-card is a turkey's version of "Can't Touch this."), and build your own holiday meal. Among the funniest is a 'history' of how the pilgrims avoided seeing their relatives on the first thanksgiving, and a little number by a fro-ed female turkey on surviving this season. These e-cards can be personalized and most of them allow the viewer to create their own animated ending to the display just by clicking on different options along the way. You can also print out the e-card if you want to save the picture or words if you'd like. But the best part-no stamps and tedious handwritten messages necessary.

Riversongs.net

Make sure you take note that Riversongs is at a .Net location, or you won't find this intriguing e-card site. Unlike American Greetings, all their cards can be viewed at full screen. This feature comes in handy as most of these e-cards have clever games for the recipient to enjoy. In one card you can redress Santa for his special night, and in another you can trim a tree. This site is perfect for finding humorous and unique holiday e-cards with a little spice. Each card has holiday appropriate music to go with it unlike most free e-card sites that give you little selection and annoying music.

As far as the notables in New Year's options, there is a prosperity and wealth e-card; this card has a top box with valiant horses and the bottom box you click on to see the "prosperity and wealth' well-wishes. And be sure not to miss out sending the happy New Year's e-card; you can create your own fireworks show with just a few clicks of your mouse. Neat huh?

Ecardica.com

Ecardica has a slew of fun-loving e-cards for every holiday. On this site you can choose from silly to serious with cartoon-y goodness. Their thanksgiving selection provides everything from dancing turkeys, regretful pilgrims, and thankgiving dinner from a turkey's perspective. And if you don't want to send one of the free flash ecards, than the postcards will do just fine. These are simply a still image with possible animation over it, such as snow falling on a wintry scene. Ecardica is for those people on your e-card list with a wacky sense of humor.
