This holiday season consumers can utilize many of these tools to

Greetings became one of the top entertainment apps within a month
of its introduction this past summer, and there are fresh designs
and formats sure to delight this holiday season, including special
add-a-photo and animated varieties. Another popular application
introduced earlier this year was the option to send e-cards to
recipients' Facebook accounts. The innovation is especially
appropriate for anyone who is hoping to send any last minute
wishes. Recipients can even post the greeting on their wall to
celebrate the season with all of their friends in a socially
festive manner. The gift of laughter Parody and funny e-greetings
are always among the most popular at AmericanGreetings.com (even
during the holidays) and this year there are many introductions
sure to fill e-mail in boxes with laughter. The newest in the long
line of popular parody offerings is, "I'm too festive," which
offers an appropriate spin on the hit, "I'm too sexy." Sure to
delight any recipient, the hilarious bit features a video filled
with actors portraying everything from crazy celebrations to awful
holiday sweaters. Another humorous e-card takes a lighthearted look
at the "grudge" match that occurs each year between the holidays of
Christmas and Hanukkah. Playing off of the "Mac vs PC" television
ads, the entertaining greeting presents two characters, one
promoting each holiday, who comically bicker for superiority.
Soothing sounds One of the great traditions of the holiday season
is the beautiful music we all enjoy. This season, innovative
selections from AmericanGreetings.com offer some new classics sure
to stir the holiday spirit in anyone. An original religious themed
offering features a beautiful piece of music composed by the
in-house team at American Greetings. Along with the peaceful
sentiment, recipients also receive a free download of the song that
is sure to be treasured for years to come. Also available, for
those looking to celebrate the season with song, are the musical
talents of both Jim Brickman and Craig Taubman. Brickman's
inspirational, "Christmas Is," greeting wonderfully captures the
warmth of the season, while Taubman offers an elegant piece for
those celebrating Hanukkah. Still looking to send out a few holiday
