Won’t Be Sending Christmas Cards This Year

[Bobbisox1]

Starting today I’m putting it on my FB page and will do once a month till December
There’s only two winners , the card shops and the Post Office, stamps are now a ludicrous price and if you’ve any left over, you’d best use them up before Jan 3rd or they’ll be no good.
Instead we’ll be buying a hot meal (Christmas Dinner ) for a group of homeless in our city
I would of put this in Seasonal but I can’t find it

What’s round robins?

[Sqad]

Round robin......a letter that is a standard letter informing people of what the year had in store for you.
Typed....same information just the name of the recipient that changes.

[Bobbisox1]

Errr right ( I think) does that mean a box of cards that are the same ?

[davebro]

Round robin - totally impersonal , assumes everyone wants to know about your successes, bin it - don't read it. Cross the sender off your contact list.

[MargoTester]

Can't stand them and rarely read them. Always about how wonderful their lives are, how clever their kids are, how many wonderful holidays they've had etc etc etc

Re Christmas cards????

[Bobbisox1]

I’m lost, are we talking sending Christmas cards here ?

[Sqad]

Errr! No.

It is a letter,typed, which is included separately in the envelope with the card. Same details but recipient differs....totally impersonal which may or may not be of interest to all recipients.

[MargoTester]

No Bobbi it's a separate sheet of typed paper enclosed with the card, same one to everyone with Dear ( then your name) hand written

[Sqad]

Margo...LOL...LOL...LOL...spot on.

[Bobbisox1]

Never heard of it

[Hazlinny]

^^ Usually sent by people who haven't been in much contact during the year!

I like to send a decent quality card at Christmas and Birthdays. Stopped sending presents via post though.

(Chrismas Dinner) for a group of homeless people in our city...... You have moved out of the little Village then Bobbi...???

>>> stamps are now a ludicrous price

Am I the only one here who thinks that 68p is a ludicrously CHEAP price to get something from one end of the country to the other? You'd pay the equivalent of £1.74 to do the same thing in Norway (and even that seems like quite a bargain to me really).

[Bobbisox1]

Chris , multiply that by 80+ and it becomes a tidy sum , correct me here but I think the price of ‘everything’ in Norway is much higher than here, could it be wages?

Tight ***

But I’m not a Karen Lozzy ;0)))

[burlyshirley1]

I'm with you Buen, I never complain about the price of stamps and I love sending and receiving Christmas cards.

You're crossed off my list now though Bobbs haha ...

[Bobbisox1]

Awww Noooo,psst! I need my cash for Euros ;0))
