Yes... there seems to be a card for everyone person and occasion nowadays machel...

I suppose the shops are having to get in beofre everyone moves to Moonpig, mr stonks would have me certified if I got our pets cards though....

my pets are sending people cards

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?

ohh pressies too.....hadnt thought of that

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 £80 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  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 

haahaa yeah, I'm a great godmother now

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 £6 - £7 ... & 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.

Evelyn, i always want the nana ones but can only ever find nanna  what shop did you see the nana one's?

We must all have nanna's in the North East 
If i don't go before the weekend they will have all gorn.

We could swap Aimee 

...Cards, not our nana's/nanna's 

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 

I'm bloody dreading it, i feel like that Cinds.  I need a few more months to prepare. 

Yes my mum is the nanna to mine, and Im the card picker.

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

Maybe you'll feel more Christmassy, after Friday?

I make my own too, this years theme is trees and they're shaping up lovely so far



Ho Ho Ho!!!

Oooooh I love singing 'we're walking in the air' in a really high operatic voice, I might do that on the way down.

close family are "attached" to the mirror, family around the mirror and everyone else wherever there is space i love cards (and pressies/christmas/carols ect)
