What is the best way to get holiday photo cards made?

I always receive tons of those picture cards from my family in which there is an image of the family and then a holiday message on the side. We just got pictures taken with Santa and our daughters, and the photographer is going to send us the files later today, so we would like to get them made into holiday photo cards to send out to the family. I would like to send them within the next few days.

I have found a few online ways to do this, but they don’t really look like the holiday photo cards I am used to, and I’m not sure how long shipping would take. Is there a store that would create nice ones in a short amount of time?

If you have sent out holiday photo cards, what method have you used?
