Since becoming disabled, money has been tight. I cut corners when/where I can. Last year I decided that I couldn't send Christmas cards to everyone on my list so here is what I did: Everyone who is on my email list received an email Christmas card which I decorated with "free" clip art from the web and my own Christmas greeting.
That whittled my snail mail cards (people who didn't have a computer) down to a manageable number which I then wrote a personal note upon and mailed or gave to in person. By doing this I saved money since I didn't have to buy more Christmas cards or USPS stamps.
A lot of people thought it was a good idea and even asked me if they could copy my card. Not only did I help myself, but others were able to save as well.

I'm disabled too. Left almost 100% blind by a drunk driver 7 years ago this month. This past Christmas, I put together a short note with Youtube links to a couple of Christmas songs that blessed me.
