I'm not a fan of them but I send them to close family so that I don't get a bollocking.

I fund out the other day that the bloke across the road is a card salesman, worked for himself for 25 years doing it... clearly does very well out of bits of paper anyway lol

I put £20 in the charity fund and told my associates I had done, rather than waste the money on 20+ cards. Not that I don't appreciate the sending of cards but there are people who are more needy and I personally consider it more beneficial

It is also a time saver as you don't have to sit a write them all out.

Wife and I send to family and close friends but I don't bother with work colleagues. I buy a gift for a Barnado's child and tell everyone at work it's instead of sending Christmas cards!

Your all bah humbug!!

I send them to friends and family as I always have done, and when I get Christmas cards they all get put in my scrap book as a keepsake.

One tree makes about 3000 cards.

But it's ok because it'll be balanced out by the thousands of christmas trees left on welsh hillsides as the farmers can't get to cut them down.

No never send them and I should take this chance to ask you all not to send me any cards either.
Sorry to any of you that have already posted my cards

I'm using ones left over from last year. And the list is much reduced. We have had an utterly sh!t year

and we know who our true friends are. Roll on 2011

Please can you all note. I hate the term 'Xmas' - that's JoHo speak. The true name is 'Christmas', for when Christ was born. In these PC times it's unfashionable to speak of the birth of Christ, and it was a Pagan festival etc etc etc blah blah blah yes I know but I really don't care.

I agree with Ed re Christmas (the celebration of Christ's birth) and go further in thinking we should have a separate festival of "Santamas" as a celebration of trivia, consumerism and debt.

Ahem, the 'X' signifies the cross that Jesus was crucified on.
