At least some good comes out of this annual waste of money then! At work no-one sends cards. Instead we collectively donate to the local hospice. We usually manage about £500 - not bad going for a workforce of about 250.<BR/><BR/>Lane- when my kids were small I used to wish that at least one of them would be really good at SOMETHING. Mine even hated cubs and brownies! Then I grew older and wiser and realised that we were truly blessed to have healthy, normal, average kids who knew their manners and kept out of trouble (mostly!)<BR/><BR/>Anyway those round robiners seem to be awfully lonely when their upwardly mobile kids up and leave them and move to Timbuktu or further afield.Annieyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13466245069641820781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-124483327855492998.post-47156001659866940382007-12-15T11:31:00.000+00:002007-12-15T11:31:00.000+00:00I'm tempted not to send any Christmas cards at all...I'm tempted not to send any Christmas cards at all but I don't know whether I'm brave enough. <BR/><BR/>Husband always asks on the 24th December "Did you send to Diandra and Cuthbert (or whoever)". <BR/>"Who"<BR/>"You know, Diandra and Cuthbert.
