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

No one is less Christian than LT.

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.

..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...
