Receiving Christmas cards is one of the few ways we have of knowing if some of our relatives are still alive
We are not sending out cards but making a donation to some charity

Secret Santa - buy a load of tot and give it to someone who doesn't need or want a load of tot but is forced to reply by buying someone else a load of tot that they don't actually want. Repeat ad nauseum.
No wonder this planet is drowning under plastic shite! f***ing morons being conned into buying shite that they and no one else want. If you put all the money spent on this total crap into charitable causes then the world might end up a better place in 12 months rather than just further down the toilet. Happy Xmas.
Didn't get any then.

I usually buy charity Christmas cards except when I splurge out on one for the missus.

I don't do either tbf. I don't buy them a birthday card either, but if they're in the club/pub I'd buy them a beer.

Lazy to me that. Why not give to charity and give a card?

Charity isn't charity if you show off about it, so I just didn't send any cards and didn't tell people either
People definitely understand - been doing it a few years and now hardly anyone sends me a card

I've done this for decades.
The money goes towards the I'm Spartacus beer fund. A charity set up for me because cards are f***ing stupid.
I spend a quid out of it to buy my mam one...

Cards are for people you don't see. Can't see the point in giving a Christmas card to someone you work with, or your family that live dead close.

No in previous years I’ve donated a tin of dog food for every card I would have bought so like 60 , another year I took out an annual subscription to dogs trust. Never post cards really so the donation always outweighs the real cost.

We did this.
We gave Christmas cards to parents, and to relatives abroad/down south but didn’t do any others.
Used the money we would usually spend on cards (and more) to donate to a local charity appeal to buy presents for disadvantaged children. We saved part of a tree and helped those less fortunate. It’s win-win IMO

I do neither, cards are a waste of time. If I see someone in the boozer I know I gladly buy a pint for them
Thing is with cards is, and I think its a women thing, they receive a card from someone and feel inclined to end one back just because they receive one. Pisses me off that,
You don't give to receive etc etc
Crapmas brings out the worst in people!!
