crimbo cards

[KittyGlitter]

OK, be honest, who sends their cr*p christmas cards, the ones left over from a pack that you don't like, to people they don't really like or see very often. I know I do :o)

[JoolsTwo]

I make mine.

[devilwoman]

i do too

For years now, I buy packs of cards with one or two designs, so I know there won't be any wasted. I buy them from the market while in the UK so really cheap and good quality.

I always remember at school receiving a card with a photo of a candle or Christmas decortion on it meant you werent too popular with that person.

Hi KittyGlitter (I love your name by the way!)

I only buy packs of cards that I would love to receive myself so I don't have any rubbish ones left. I give equally to all people. If I disliked someone I probabaly wouldn't send them a card at all rather than be false I think.

Merry Christmas to you :o)

[smudge]

Same here Athley!

Happy Christmas too!

[what..the?]

Booldawg lol - I remember that it really was a dig in the ribs as everyone handed them out you got to see what people really thought of each other!

Yes I buy only ones I like, I only really find ones with two designs these days anyway so theres no problem.

I have had my own made this year with a photo of me and 5 huge/mega snowmen I made last year on a beach (yes a beach of all places). They are more personal so for family and friends. I will buy ones for 'work' people.

I always do this! I had a dilemma last week because I had run out of the "nice" cards and still had some people that I do like to send some to! I rummaged through the box of cheap ones until I found one that didn't look too cheap!!!!!!

I am glad it's not only me that does this............thanks kitty you have made me smile :)

[Alibobs]

Ooh Kitty Glitter, I too rank my cards as special or ordinary and like bexste today I had to but another box as I had run out,I went for cheapy ones a sit's for acquaintances rather than friends.

I have a problem with cards I receive as I like things to be symmetrical and colour co-ordinated ( think Monica from Friends) and when I get a card I don't like the look of I have to hide under a nice one. It's not my fault I am anally retentive........................

um, well, I don't send cards to people I don't like (so Tony Blair is off my list again). If you really want to, and you want to make a point, why not just leave the stamp off?

[KittyGlitter]

Booldawg that is so true! Always beware of those types of cards or cards that are really flimsy and you know they came in a bumper pack of 100 'value' cards. Another problem, is trying to remember which cards you gave each person the previous year, so that you don't send the same card to them again (from the ones left over).

That�s exactly what I was trying to do last night, but I�m sure if I cant remember what card I sent them they will hardly remember what card they got, (I Hope). Also I right a list then think nah they never send me one, so I cross them off. :-) Half of them are boys they never send them do they.

I find whatever the card they are just as easy to shake till the money falls out.You dont even have to bother looking at the card if its the open side up in the envelope!
