Christmas cards to bankers

Genuine questions is it too corny / desperate to send handwritten christmas notes to bankers you've chatted? I know email is fine but is handwritten a good way to stand out or does it come off as desperate. Would love bankers' input on this!

Agree wouldn’t do it…but…if you did do it would go all in. Photo of you wearing dollar sign suspenders with a two toned shirt with you leaning against a fireplace, your library of finance books and diplomas hanging on the wall behind you and on the other side a headshot of Jules Winnfield from Pulp Fiction wearing a Santa hat with a “Happy Holidays Motherf#cker”  at the top and “warmest wishes for a joyous season and looking forward to that coffee chat” and signed by you at the bottom
