Default Poll: Will you send Xmas cards this year?

Nearly 300,000 trees need to be chopped down to make the Christmas Cards, that will be sent this xmas.

One tree makes about 3000 cards.

Only 10% of these cards get recycled.

How do you recycle them all, do your friends and relatives give you them back?

I don't send cards, I consider them a total waste of my beer funds

Waste of time and money if you ask me, especially people who have vast lists of people to send to who they haven't seen in years.

I've ticked that I don't send them.... because I don't to the mass of people.

I do however buy them for mum and dad's, sisters and brothers, and nieces and grandma's. (because that's a whole lot of troublt for both of us if not!)

I'll buy for my wife, son, mother and sister (father and grandparents are dead), because I want to. I know those cards will be kept and looked at again in years to come.

Most of my friends think a charitable donation makes much more sense, if there are those that don't they haven't voiced an opinion, but it's my choice at the end of the day and I'm not accountable to anybody else. If one or two don't like it, I'm not going loose any sleep.

Aunts, Uncles, etc almost certainly don't like it, but my family can be very one sided and don't bother whether I like or don't like what they do, but if I do something they don't like it's a travesty, again I won't be loosing any sleep.

I've given up caring what other people think. So long as I'm happy, my wife's happy and my son's happy, that's all that matters.

I only send xmas cards to two people abroad, and the odd friend over here.
I find them a waste of time, and they gather far too much dust to be thrown in the recycling after a few weeks!

I haven't even decided when I will be putting up the tree yet!
