I never send any

but you must get them, dont you feel bad?

Nah :hehe:

your very soul must be blacker than satan's chimney :shocked:

:fan:

I send them and I'm less Christian than Trumpet... if that's possible.

:joker::joker: You're slowly turning into Lord Byron with all the picturesque speech. :hehe:

If you really mean that Liv - you'll be claiming next, that you killed the Dead Sea.:hehe:

No one is less Christian than LT.

Christmasneeve my ass you should swop names with LT :hehe:

I send about 20 mainly to relatives and close friends, they hand them out at my school like confetti, I just do one for each class, and I also do the neighbours on my Close whether they are Christian or not :hehe:

:fist: I am a new breed of Christian Atheist

You tell them Cherie, the tight asses. :hehe:.

I love Christmas, I just hate sending cards to people, it's a tradition that annoys me and I won't do it :fist:

I expect you will get dung in your stocking

:idc:

shut up scrooge :hmph:

You must be the talk of the village :fist:

You're a new breed, all right...

The folks always send a bundle every year, I do think it's a dying tradition though in the age of email, social media and smartphones. Not sure if my generation will keep it up.

I like sending cards that I have written myself and either delivered or posted myself, I dislike these funky pigeon and moonpig cards being sent out.

I was talking to a friend last week who said she wasn't sending any this year deciding to make a contribution to a charity instead, I couldn't resist saying why not do both.

My own 'only personal' view is if someone has taken the time to write and get a card to you,thereby thinking of you while doing so, that it is hardly a chore to return one to them.
They may even be someone who gets very few, a card sent to them could really help make their Christmas.

Always send cards to the family, special cards for hubby, son and daughter, the rest get charity cards.
The neighbours get charity cards as well and my three best friends get special cards.
Never thought of the religious aspect, we have sent cards to our Indian neighbours for 21 years and always get one back.
I never ever buy cards with either Jesus of robins on, tend to go for lovely snow scenes.

You been called out Niamh

:joker:I would never get at Niamh she is a really lovely person.

I did say it was my own personal opinion. :joker:

if Joey wrote you a card would you ignore that too Niamh?

Of course she would. Ignorant bitch. :idc:

That's the last card that I bother posting to The peoples Republic of Cork!

..I'm with Niamh on this..I rarely send any paper cards anymore, just a few to elderly people in the village who don't have internet but mostly I send E-cards and greetings instead/more environmentally friendly..I did get loads from children at school, like Cherie but they now mostly send one collective card to all of their friends/staff which are displayed on a special card tree for everyone to read...and if they want to, they can make a small donation to a charity for children who are not as fortunate as themselves as to be able to have lovely things at Christmas ...this was all the children's own idea btw...

I still send them and receive them, but I have noticed that the numbers of both are decreasing.

It may be the cost. I used to always receive a hundred or more Valentines cards but that dwindled to just a couple because of the cost - I just couldn't afford to keep buying them, and addressing them to myself took too long quite frankly. :joker::dance::dance:

I always send cards, special ones for family and friends and then more normal ones for neighbours.

I also send them to long distance relatives and friends with a small note and photographs etc and they reply in the same way, I find it sad that it's a dying tradition tbqh.

So do I, it makes for part of Christmas to me, I recall when I first started writing my own cards and posting some and giving out others in person and how exciting it was to do so.

It may just be a bit of paper but I know I get great pleasure from receiving them, thinking that someone has 'wanted' to send me one and took the time to,so for me no contest.
I will always send cards myself.

I get a mix, some charity cards and others I particularly like especially for family, I really go overboard for my Mum and Dad's.

I actually find it quite sad when I visit anyone and they only have a few cards,it is nice to greet people and you cannot get to see everyone,a card as the ad used to say, can say so much.
So like you I am sad to see this dying away.

Thats So Nice of you Josy.



I Hate Xmas

What a Clever Rabbit

You Are Most Wise

We were really discouraged from giving them at my secondary school because of it being harmful to the environment lol, suppose they could have just encouraged us to recycle them instead

:idc:

:laugh2:

Tutzor Family?

Niamh Tutzor, yep that's me :hehe:

Like yourself Josy, I always send cards and always will. It doesn't matter if I don't get cards from others, I just want them to know they are always in my thoughts, especially round this time of year, re family/loved ones who have moved too far to see that often. I also send special ones for family and the normal cards for neighbours, I haven't thought to do photos, but I usually upload photos to the computer and send those that way every so often. The task of writing the cards I abhor, but I do it because I love my family and friends and want them to know this.
