It's beginning to look a lot like December, which means it's time for that annual chore: sitting with a mountain of envelopes, expensive cards and a post office worth of stamps. But what if you could automate the whole holiday card process, sending them for a dollar each via Facebook without ever having to look up addresses?

Touchnote, a four year-old British company that sends custom postcards, is offering exactly that, starting Wednesday. The app's new interface, available on iOS, Android and the web, lets you pick any holiday card image, add an Instagram-like filter, type in a message and select a Facebook friend.

The service takes care of the rest, including looking up their address. You can send the cards out in batches of up to 100, which is where the bulk price of 99 cents a card kicks in (Touchnote's regular price for postcards is $1.50 each). The company says each card will be printed on high quality, heavy paper stock and placed in a premium 5"x7" envelope, and that they'll be delivered in 2 to 5 business days anywhere in the US, most of Europe and Australia.

There is, of course, one major downside: the text on the card won't be in your own handwriting. But if you and your recipients don't care about that, you're good to go.

Touchnote has a number of competitors in the online postcard delivery space, such as Postagram, but none that offer full-on holiday cards -- and none that let you send in bulk.

"Often times a Facebook message, email or text doesn’t quite cut it," says Touchnote CEO Oded Ran. "We are changing the face of holiday cards forever." Here's what the interface looks like:
