Charity Christmas Cards

[seadogg]

We sell a lot of Christmas cards in the RNLI and none of us could do our jobs without the public's support, God Bless 'Em.

Whose cards do you buy, or even sell and for what reason?

Although I'm a born again agnostic I fully appreciate that Christmas is to celebrate the birh of Jesus.

As a consequence I will not buy any cards from anyone who don't sell religious cards, particularly those who say it might upset the minority faiths.

Billhooks!

I guess most of us would respect that point of view Blue Toffee. Do you think we should send religious cards to friend who we know to be Christians?

I do sometimes do that, seadogg, even if I don't share their faith - and I will send cards that say "Seasons Greetings" to my Muslim friends. They don't celebrate the religious festival but they still join in with the general frivolity of the season.

I send 'Yuletide Greetings' which is our Pagan festival but sounds main stream traditional

I buy my local hospice Christmas cards. My dad spent his last days there and they were brilliant. I even volunteer part-time in their charity shops too!! :)

Reckon you are right boxie. It's the season of goodwill after all. We have the rest of the year to wind our friends up lol.
