Christmas cards from people at work
WHY?????

Oh and Christmas Rant No. 2 1/2
Christmas cards from people I haven't heard from all year, that say "Love from *soandso*"

I'm not doing Christmas cards at all this year

humbug...

Actually, I agree with the work one. I don't send any to people I will see - all my cards have to need a stamp.

I suppose you do get a few from people you only hear from at this time - not many though for me - and then you normally get a newsy letter too, which brings you up to date. They're like yearly relationships!

Ah now, I absolutely don't mind the newsy cards That's fine

It's the ones that just have "love from soandso" inside that irritate me.

I'm trying hard from now on not to be as bah humbuggish as I usually am

I tend to agree, Fb. This year, I've only sent work Christmas cards to my team - usually I sent them to all sorts of other people. This year, I was so busy, I thought 'to hell with it'.

I agree with you Haricot! No point sending something that just has a name scribbled at the bottom, as if you'll treasure and appreciate that money has been spent on a card.

In my place of work there has been an irritating alternative to sending cards. It started out reasonably - an e-mail to everyone saying a few people wouldn't be sending cards this year but instead giving a donation to a charity. But then other people joined in, and the blitzed e-mail has been sent over and over again each time with a name or two more on

Humbug. I haven't sent a work e-mail or donated to their charity.

Merry Christmas Your last with cold weather?
