Mine always does and he buys presents too.
I love them, spend a small fortune on them.
my dog sends my mum a card.. and gets one back
there are just so many variations it took me ages to find what i wanted - how do they think of them all?

A few years ago I bought my sis a christmas card for her dog, wishing it a happy first christmas. Thing is it was also my niece's first christmas and I never got one for her
PS I was also her god mother

Oh Dirk that''s sooo bad. i hope you've made up for it.
All our family have decided no special cards this year, we're all clubbing in to give it to Children in Need. Last year I spent ÂĢ80 odd pounds in one card shop on family/friends/ and Uncle Tom Cobley and all, it's silly and I'd rather give it to a good cause and so would my family.

I stopped sending cards to my family years ago and we all donate to charity instead. But my husband doesn't think it's right so he always sends cards to his family.

i have to admitt i hate xmas cards. I put about 5 or 6 important ones up where i have the space and they still good the rest get stuck in the drawer then in the bin as soon as xmas day is over. I cant stand clutter.

We're all in agreement Longcat, we'd all much rather it went to a good cause than spend fiver's on special cards, it may be not everyone's choice like your husband, but luckily we all agreed
The only ones i get named cards for are my husband and the kids.
The rest can just get their charity shop specials and be grateful for it.

I can't be doing with name cards except for the rellies in Oz who usually get an 'Across the miles' card.
My problem is getting religious Xmas cards as I have a few old rellies who are still religious and don't appreciate fluffy bunnies or sad santas

Some nice snow scenes with the odd church and/or a robin posing maybe?

they are more the three wise men or Jesus in the stable type of people. Can get away with an angel though I love Robins - I have one that comes to my bird table daily - perhaps I could get him to pose
Thye have nannie/nana nan gran granny in every variation , but i can never find a nanna one when i want one.
I buy one really good and quite expensive box of xmas cards .... Clintons usually have them ..... About 8 to 10 hand crafted cards for about ÂĢ6 - ÂĢ7 ... & I send those to close family members, rather than buying all those "named" ones.

I am going to use all last years up. I found loads so I am hoping I do not have to buy any at all.
I will buy special ones for my man and my girls but that is all.

I put about 5 or 6 important ones up
That's me too I put the family ones up and one from a good friend I used to work with. I haven't got space for them all and can't be arsed putting them all up either Sorry Evelyn i was busy arguing with the gas man, i've been freezing too death for the last 4 hrs , i haven't got any nanas to swap anymore but my mum is the card inspector and she likes the proper spelling and the right meanings inside

I think my mam had the right idea. She would've given you the money for a drink rather than a card.
I went Christmas shopping yesterday, and came home with absolutely nothing. Don't know why but I cannot find any Christmas enthusiasm this year. I might just cancel it

Yep and the one time i tried to put them all up every time someoen walked by the sideboard or opened the door they all fell over wont be doing that again
I make all my own cards, that way I can write what I like on them....
All the daft names going around now it's a good idea to buy blocks of transfers. Available in all colours with all the letters and numbers that you just rub on to the card. Quite cheap and you get a few sheets in a pack. It's good fun too

Ho Ho Ho!!!
