Baj Humbug moment?

Anyone else find them a pain each year? Where do you put them? Have I forgotten anyone? Was the card sent good enough for the recipient?

I told my elderly dad to give them a miss this year. Just ring people and wish them the best having enquired how things are going. He continued as normal. Every day an avalanche of cards arrive.

What do you do?
The biggest joke on mankind is that computers have started asking humans to prove that they aren't a robot.

Yes, we have a bag at the side of the fireplace for 'unimportant' cards, but it has a picture of Santa on it, so not really a waste bag. The ones from nearest and dearest go up.

Still send them & receive them but nowhere near the amount we used to years ago, lots of relatives now deceased .

It can happen to anyone, anytime. Don't assume that we all live till old age takes us. If I were you I'd give me that tata of yours and get rid of the signum. You'd be much safer in a diesel astra.

Sorry to hear that, Henry. Can you imagine the boost charities would get if that became the norm?

This year I've been able to satisfy both my holier-than-thou sense of giving and my Scrooge like nature by buying charity cards at 40p each, and buying enough for next year as well. Win Win Win! ::) ::) ::)
