The made up couple is brilliant. Mrs KS will get a card from Charlie with a scribbled reference to a night of passion. Tee hee.I write 3 cards every year.
1 to my mum and dad.
1 to my sister and her husband.
1 to a mate from uni who lives down south, which I sign from a different couple EVERY year; this year I've decided up Gregory and Sylvia, last year it was from Bernard and Denise. Hope he sits there scratching his head wondering who these made up couples are :)
All the Christmas associated waste has never sat well with me, even more so since I visited a recycling plant and the guys who worked there told me that the vast majority of it can't even be recycled because of all the metal glitter on it, so pretty much EVERY Christmas card in the UK just gets binned not recycled.
Bah-fvckin'-humbug!
An outdated concept that only adds to the stress and financial burden that the Christmas period can bring.
Do what is right for you and your circumstances,never feel pressurized to follow the herd.
Happy Christmas!
While it may not apply to you....People have friends,and relatives,spread across the world.financial burden ?
I’m sure you can get bundles of cards for about 99p in Card Factory

Also,people even find pressure in sending a 'decent' card.
Great idea isn't it, can't claim it as my own unfortunately, but it has me in stitches every year imagining the conversations he has with his mrs, searching through all their contacts thinking "Who the fvck are X and Y?" :)The made up couple is brilliant.

Can you pm me your eldest's number?Every year from a few of my Wifes old Uni friends we get the sheet of A4 with pictures giving an update on where they have been skiing this year, how well Gemima is doing at Prep school, and how happy Tilly is with her new pony etc. Last year after a couple of bottles of Owd Roger I did one saying how our eldest Daughter was making a good living as an Escort in London, our middle Daughter was doing very well in therapy trying to overcome her Heroin addiction, and our youngest was hoping to have her electronic tag removed before Christmas. Didn't send it though as my wife couldn't see the funny side....
