Re: Happy christmas everone

Good for you Cass, I cut back on cards years ago, I think I sent about 10 last year same as you. I love Christmas but not all the commercial stuff that goes with it.

Happy Christmas realspeed and everyone

Re: Happy christmas everone

Does anybody send e cards ? I send quite a few using the Jacquie Lawson site, it’s a yearly subscription of £9.00 but well worth it with beautiful animated cards for all occasions, another good site is 123 Cards which is free

Happy Christmas from me too

Re: Happy christmas everone

Some famly members stopped sendng cards a few years ago but I can't bring myself to stop sending them one (nieces/nephews specifically). Think I'll leave it till late and see what happens.

Because of sister and her daughter both looking to sell their homes, and not knowing where sis will end up (if it goes ahead this year!) I can't plan anything for Christmas. If no invite is forthcoming I'll just have a quiet day in front of the telly, cooking my own turkey meal. I might still see if anywhere has vacancies for a Christmas getaway.

As for the season coming early in shops and stores, that makes me cross. Now starts in September, for crying out loud!

Re: Happy christmas everone

The early Christmas seems to have spread to here too. One of the more expensive shops in the boulevard already has a window full of Christmas trees, all beautifully decorated and all half price. The trees are the ones they had last year in their elaborate display, so no doubt they are trying to get rid of them now in order to do their new display for this year. Personally I haven't given any thought to Christmas yet.

Re: Happy christmas everone

I still send a few cards, people I love get a hand made one, one of my friends makes beautiful cards and I invest in a few of them, but aquaintances I buy a box of 40 and that does them. I only post two all the rest we make a day of it going round delivering them, come home to a hot chocolate with marshmallows and a home baked cookie or two. Makes it a bit nicer IMO

Re: Happy christmas everone

Sending cards is more personal than sending greetings via the internet. We still send cards and like to get them to hang up on the widow or somewhere

Hi

I will not get any cards.

I will spend the day on my own, with a Skype to my son.
