Surely you open them first in case there's any money in them?

We've been cutting back our list the last few years. It's the price of stamps. I'm a mean old bugger and my wife agrees with me.

We managed to get away with posting about a dozen of ours and handed over the rest.

My friend is getting married next year and was told by plenty of people that it would be absolutely fine to put the Save the Date cards in Christmas Cards (or to write it in as a message), but she posted all of those separately too - must have cost a fortune.

You shoud see it as a positive thing though. I hate cards, i don't even like receiving Birthday cards. I find them to be a hassle. I don't want some stupid card hanging up on my mantelpiece. I would rather just have the money they paid for the card ”

Yeah, I didn't do cards this year and I told people not to bother sending me one. Any I did get went straight in the bin.

I sound like a right miserable old bag!

Not any more. They have tight fisted relatives.

There wasn't a postal strike, just a Counter staff strike. Would have no affect on post.

I had a card from one of my cousins, completely out of the blue as we've never been in regular contact and the last time I remember seeing or speaking to her was my Aunt's funeral about eight or nine years ago.

The fewer the better. I haven't sent them for a few years yet some of the same people who know this still send them. I prefer to donate to charity instead.
In most cases it's nothing more than an annual waste of money sign that they're still alive or they enclose their tedious protracted annual family success fest/report when we haven't clapped eyes on them for decades or heard from them in any other way.

My brother puts them up on the mantlepiece to make him look more popular.
