I have a neighbour who every year sends a group email saying she is not sending Christmas cards but donating to charity instead - fair enough. I bumped into her yesterday and the conversation went:

Neighbour: Oh I thought you must have gone away for Christmas

Me: Why would you think that?

N: Well, I haven't had a Christmas card from you yet this year - I do like to get Christmas cards it makes the house look so cheerful

Me: Yes, me too

Just lost my post supporting mary and paddy re Mary's Meals. The charities commission website officially confirms all they've said. Until March all donations are being doubled with funds from the overseas aid budget. My DS's best friend does an excellent job with them and I trust him implicitly.
Volunteers here and abroad provide meals and education at minimal cost but pay small wages to the school cooks. Google them to find out more.
