It's so impersonal - not worth paying attention to!<br /><br />I received a few paper cards at home, but I never really looked at them, so I couldn't tell you how many.<br /><br />At work, I got 3 cards so far (ooh, the drama! ;D). <br /> But I've seen people in other departments getting like 15-20 cards each! I plan to give mine out this Friday just to members of my team... Or to the whole department... I can't make my mind up! Some people are so easily offended. And I'm only doing it out of politeness... Even though I paid my £2 for humanitarian gift thingy that's meant to be in place of cards!!!<br /><br />Moonpig... OMG... A colleague showed me some of the cards that she created... Haha ;D Basically, it's for people who don't know how to use photoshop. Good idea, but I personally wouldn't use it. The adverts are just awful!<br /><br />Anyway, that's my 2p. ;DAndroidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12001994727389453144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-1665698425084665672009-12-16T21:50:07.200+00:002009-12-16T21:50:07.200+00:00Nah, I don't get e-card either.

Nice occasionally, but not for Christmas.<br /><br />I use Christmas to try and stay in touch with people, by sending them a hand written card (with a fountain pen, touching on an historical post there). Some people only get this one contact from me a year, but it's the annual motivation.<br /><br />I don't actually send cards to people I see every day. Don't see the point, I can say "Merry Christmas". There are lots of cards going round work, some of which are quite amusing because they seem to sent round in a "per room basis". So, Burtie & Bella (sharing an office) are getting some addressed to the pair of them as if they're a couple...<br /><br />In the family department, we baked cakes to send round the office instead of cards. A much better theory, you can savour cake. But I have a sweet tooth...Asphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02722072356105285739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-14816929111069612222009-12-16T17:53:28.569+00:002009-12-16T17:53:28.569+00:00I have used moonpig for birthday cards, and they a...I have used moonpig for birthday cards, and they are great! <br /><br />This year I have so far received no xmas cards :( and plan on giving none back lol. I don't see the point in them anymore. I get enough texts/emails about it, that'll do!!<br /><br />At work I think we are sending cards, but not too sure as yet!Poonamhttp://www.locksleynet.com/poonamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-49961179225252196342009-12-16T16:08:44.142+00:002009-12-16T16:08:44.142+00:00Yeah, their ads are a bit cheesy, I have to admit....Yeah, their ads are a bit cheesy, I have to admit. :-) <br /><br />I'll reserve full judgement until the cards arrive, though!

The whole point of a card is to open it. Its like photos... I have mine printed and put them in an album myself... I don't like just having them on the computer. Its so nice to sit and flick through photos.AWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1154146541957373385.post-30648774454227244732009-12-16T13:56:35.884+00:002009-12-16T13:56:35.884+00:00Have you ordered from Moonpig before or are you ju...Have you ordered from Moonpig before or are you just against the principle of them? :p<br /><br />I guess the whole e-christmas-card is environmentally friendly and reduces labour considerably but it still seems a touch tacky to me.

If you want to send a personalised card, make it yourself or buy one and "personalise" it!<br /><br />Secondly, my boss is sending a xmas card by email to all his clients and contacts. I'm awfully glad I don't have to spend an afternoon putting them into envelopes and sticking on stamps.<br /><br />Finally, I don't think people send xmas cards that much anymore. <br /><br />We're not celebrating anything this year for obvious reasons but its a real shame that no-one else is very xmassy at work or just generally.AWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16742510512103448470noreply@blogger.com
