There were a few reasons I sent it through e-mail (I should've explained earlier):
1-She was very specific to say that they were making the decision very quickly, probably Friday but possibly Monday and there was no way the Thank You would get there before the decision was made (according to their timeline)
2-She was very specific to say that she thinks follow-ups are important (this is for a position involving following up with donors)
3-I read on a website that 81% of employers prefer e-mail thank you's because they are quicker
As far as the holiday, that's what I'm trying to act like it is, but wouldn't you think she would realize she would be on vacation on Monday? Just my thought, but I'm not sure that it's necessarily true. I'll just chalk this up to experience if I don't get it.
Also, while we're on the subject, I've heard of a few different ways that are "appropriate" or even "preferred" for sending a thank you note. One is in the standard thank you note form (a little notecard handwritten saying "thanks"), one is in a business-letter form, and one is via e-mail. I have even heard that you should send a follow-up e-mail and then a separate thank you note if you know that the hiring process is going to be a quick one. Is this overkill, though? My only concern is that part of the position is writing handwritten thank you notes to donors, so this COULD be a test. I think I'm overthinking things, though...
