So the economy's rough, right? You've already cut back on ballpoint pens, Post-It notes and now you have to send your holiday cards? FORGET IT. If e-cards don't capture the proper holiday greeting, all you need is a camera, some simple screen wipes and an holiday spirit. Slap that puppy on the YouTubes (or Vimeos, if you wanna get all HD) and go viral with Christmas cheer!

Here is a collection of our absolute favorite video greeting cards:


'Happy Holidays From My Face' from DaveAOK

A magical, musical and supremely well-edited journey of musical face ticks.

RaveReviewsColorado with "Happy to Be Employed"

Perfect for not just for the holiday season, but also for the tumultuous climate surrounding the economic crisis!

'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas' from Sean Meredith

While I don't quite get the concept, if you can green screen your 8-year old into Star Wars and have her lip sync to Judy Garland, you deserve an Oscar.

With hi-tech graphics and some wacky miming talents, how could you go wrong?
