Increasingly sophisticated e-cards are doing the rounds this year. Is this the end of the traditional Christmas card?

Not much good for decorating your mantelpiece - great for anyone who's environmentally aware - or too disorganised to catch the last post.

It seems that this is the year of the 'e-card' - an electronic Christmas greeting sent by email. Some are anonymously corporate - others highly elaborate - but does this spell the end of the traditional Christmas card?

Our arts correspondent Nicholas Glass has been searching his inbox to find out, and brings you some of the best we've seen.

Have you seen any better?

If you've seen better, do let us know by sending us an email (or an e-card!) to news@channel4.com
