Christmas cards

Nor me. To my knowledge.

I've never been mocked by a Muslim.

Do Muslims mock us, I hadn’t noticed.?

chewbacca same here! not sent Cards since dh passed just over 3 yrs ago, I have no longing to send them or receive them any more. I normally put a donation in to a charity or buy equivalent in food and drop it in the food bank trolley.
I am really not fussed about receiving any cards (still like birthday cards) If I do get them they just sit in a pile, I have said to all I dont "do" Christmas cards any more, sbut they still seem to send me them...think they feel bit bad if they don't but I would rather them give a donation or something..

For the last few years I've sent a lot of ecards-saved a fortune! Can't be doing with all this waste-imagine the landfill afterwards! And, as a Christian, feel we should be leading the way to stop all this commercialised nonsense. No wonder Muslims mock us!

Thanks I usually don't send out cards but I've changed my mind!

HildajenniJ never been aware of foot and mouth painters for C cards. I'd be happy to buy some even though I'm in the U.S. Anyone mind putting up a link? Thanks!

I haven't sent C.......cards for about 10 years now. We go away in November, to early to send them and usually come back after Christmas and New Year, so this year will be the same. This year we come back from Cambodia just 2 weeks before Christmas as I am having a new knee around this time, so allowing for jet lag I will probably have about a week to get ready. Not a problem

I'm with you on this one lemongrove I love sending and receiving Christmas cards.

That’s a good point Eazybee ?

I once, only once, wrote my Christmas cards well in advance. By the time posting time arrived, one person had died and two had divorced. Never did it again.

Because I dont like them, and everyone I know has been told what will happen if they send one. I do read them first.

Why put them in the bin? Somebody has been kind enough to send you one after all.

I don't send any, and any sent to me go in the bin.
Everybody knows the situation, and some still choose to send them.

Sorry lemon slinks off in disgrace

You mean that I won’t be getting a card this year Chewy
?
Actually, I love Christmas cards, both the sending and receiving of them, and the glittery the better.
Couldn’t bear to do them before December though.?

I told friends that I wasn't doing them anymore NotTooOld, and that I wouldn't be at all offended if they crossed me off their lists too. Everyone, without exception, agreed that they thought it was a good idea to donate to a charity instead, but I still receive many cards each year nevertheless! Each to their own.

I bought my cards when I was on holiday. I haven't even thought about writing them yet. I did receive my usual sample from the mouth and foot painters. I usually buy some from them as I think it's a good cause.

Chewbacca. Good idea. Did you tell everyone what you were doing or did you just stop? Did anyone notice?

I've not bought or sent any C********** cards for 3 years now and won't be doing any this year either. It became more and more of a chore and so I just stopped doing it. Instead, I donate to our local hospice.

Sorry but the thought of doing Christmas cards at the start of October is just soooo depressing

I actually enjoy the rush and bustle of doing cards and putting up decorations at the last minute, sadly my card list is quite reduced now.

I spent today setting up a charity Christmas card shop. Having unpacked 2 boxes of packs of cards I had to price the lot and arrange a selection in a display box before putting the rest in a storage box. Then I unpacked 3 boxes of gifts, wrapping paper, gift tags, advent calendars and small toys. Busy day but I enjoy helping to organise the shop and volunteer there one day a week. There are 50 charities cards in the shop and each one has a named volunteer doing a shift every week. Thousands of pounds are raised for the charities every year and approx 70 pence in every pound spent is returned to the charities.

I actually bought some today - to go with the ones I bought in January this year! When I remember where I put them!?.
