To Card

or not to card?  

Normally we do this without question, but I have actually been debating not sending out Christmas cards this year.  I desperately want to do this, as we do it every year, but am already a bit low on energy and then there is the $$ aspect.  If we did, Peter wants to use one of the uber-fancy shots we had taken this summer.  I feel, though, that since we have all changed a bit since then, perhaps a more recent shot would be more appropriate (well, maybe pre-11/11).

In light of everything that has happened recently, would we look like complete Scrooges if we were not to send out cards?  Or should we assume that most would understand and be accepting of  e-cards?  We could then simply send  real cards (with photos enclosed) to those who we know for sure have zero computer access and still want to keep up with us non-Joneses.

Any thoughts on the matter greatly appreciated. Not that I don't want to stimulate the economy and help out the ole USPS, but I'm just wicked tired and still trying to figure how we are going to pull off just regular Christmas stuff with my inability to make decisions/wake up fully each day.  Plus, there is always next year, right?
