When do you send/hand your x-mass cards out?

[Blue_SV650S]

I've never really been sure and kinda do it in a reactive manner ... but what is the (well your) official line on when cards should be sent/handed out?

I say this as I got 2 in the post last week (i.e. end of Nov), which I felt was a bit early ... but then I tried to think when one SHOULD be sending/getting cards ... and I couldn't really answer the question ...

To be honest. I don't. Guess I'm not old and boring enough to bother with such unpersonal things for people you either don't see anymore or don't really give a shit about.
Give one to the missus and that's about it. (and to those heading their cursor for the reply button to say "Give one to the missus, eh? Do you also get her a card? Fnar Fnar" I have anticipated that response).
If I want to contact someone during the festive period it will be a text for a pint and a chat.

I never do them.

I used to diligently write them all out, and then at the right time (whatever that is, I never did know, either) I always seemed to keep forgetting them or losing them.

But people keep giving them to me, so I just say thanks and nowadays I don't do that embarrassed shuffle and "I forgot mine today" ... I just say thanks.

I think most people hate "having" to give them out but they dare not break the tradition. I've just come to sort of bend the tradition over the years to suit my own purposes so that I just don't give them out.

I'd be a bit upset if I didnt get any though

They like cards because you have to write lovey dovey stuff in them. Last valentines day I got the girlfriend a card as you do. I opened mine to find two full pages of writing which is nice. It shows she loves me. It even had a motorbike on the front so brownie points for the missus. She then opened hers to find the words.

Happy Valentines day Sugar Tits XXX

She wasn't too impressed.

I think the next card I get the missus will have loads of pages glued inside. So when you open it and flick the pages its a dirty prono flicka card. She won't appreciate it though.......bloody women!!!!

I always get stupid cards because I hate the whole sending of them. I don't understand people who spend ages picking a card out. It's going to be read once, displayed for a week and then binned.

I walked into a shop and couldn't be bothered to put effort into getting a birthday card for the missus' friends 25th birthday. So I told the assisstant I want a birthday card with an age on any age at all. I ended up with a happy 35th birthday from kermit the frog card. Its more memorable than a nice one innit.

rather than offend one person by not sending them a card, I offend everyone equally by sending them to no-one.

I have mine wrote out but not sent yet, probably be next week till I get stamps and the week after that till I get near a post box. I have family elsewhere I sent them to every year and a few choice friends. Lot of my family here get them handed to them, I would be out a fortune on stamps sending all of them.

No cards, but I'm very organized this year and have sent my local MP a xmas present.

[Carl_steveo]

[Bofh5]

when i was with the missus she would send so many cards i thought she was single handedly saving the post office !

this being my first christmas as a "single" and being a bloke i have 1 card ready to go to "the mother" with a voucher in it.

as for my so called work colleagues who i'm sure i only nice to me because i can spy on what they're up to all day they can stuff off.

This christmas will be great..no decs no cards just snow and booze

Nope, Mr Tory MP got a book. A real book; no tricks, no explosives, no hidden shits, no anthrax, just a book.
