New York, NY, November
23, 2007 - 123Greetings announces the
launch of a Christmas widget to celebrate
the holiday season. As more and more Americans
post profiles on MySpace, Yahoo 360, Blogger
and other social network properties, people
are looking for ways to spread holiday cheer
online.
“When people come to my MySpace page
or my blog, I want them to know a little
bit about who I am and what’s important
to me,” said Jeanne Heydecker, Marketing
Group Leader for 123Greetings. “The
‘Decorate a Christmas Tree’
widget enables visitors to my page to decorate
a virtual tree and while doing so, spend
a moment focused on the Christmas experience.
I want them to feel happy.”
The Christmas widget is one of the first
scheduled to appear for a variety of holidays
and special occasions. The widgets are easy
to post by simply copying and pasting a
snippet of code. They are available for
over 20 social networks.
Ms. Heydecker went on to say, “Our
widgets are essentially online toys for
entertainment or for adorning a user’s
personal space on the web. They help people
express themselves on the web. Our mission
is to be the means for our user’s
expressional needs. Widgets are an extension
to our more traditional free ecards.”
For additional information on 123Greetings’
“Decorate a Tree” Christmas
widget, contact Jeanne Heydecker or visit

The widget will be made available on the
web site on November 25, 2007.
