Have any of you been as disappointed as I was this year
with the lack of cards!
no one cares!!

I always get one from a friend in amsterdam with himself and his family on
3 beautiful daughters and a beautiful wife
he is a bit passed it..........dyed hair .................silly t.shirts........
but .............this year nothing!!

what have I done to deserve such rejection!

Did you forget to send him one.

One word annie with him is enuff!
one word!

I recieved half the number I sent out!
Some I wasn't expecting to recieve cards from - my great aunt for example, as her eyesight's really bad. But I was a bit dissapointed that my cousin who's in his mid 20's and moved into his own house with his fiancé was still on his parents card, with no sign of the fiancé!
My sister in law told me that she only sends cards to the people she's not celebrating Christmas with, so I knew I wouldn't be recieving one from them.

I don't know if it's lazyness or the expense of it (my 20 cards cost about £15 in postage - it's more expensive to send from Denmark to the UK than the other way around!) but the cards themselves are a lot cheaper than birthday cards! Maybe next year I'll hand deliver the ones it's practical to!

Do what I do snoops ..........don't send any!
much easier!

I must admit, I love recieving cards and think that if I want to recieve any then I have to send some too!

I would like not to send any but only because it hurts my hands and fingers when I do a lot of writing, at least I print the envelopes to save writing those.

You could do what my Mum's cousin does, he prints a letter with all the years news on it, with a christmas picture on it - he used to be a vicar, it was sent out to all the parisherners and family.

That's a good idea SnoopySue, may try that next year.

If you have Microsoft publisher, that simplifies it a bit! But I'm sure you could do it almost as easy in Word.

I do have Microsoft Publisher so will have plenty of time to practise before next Christmas.

Ummmmm
some people take a lot of time and effort to send Christmas cards and some just dont bother!
