Christmas cards from colleagues... ugh...

[lady_rider]

I may sound like a scrooge, but gaddamn, christmas cards from colleagues wind me up no end. Every year I get a host of them, from people I hardly ever talk to, saying an insipid 'Dear Lady_rider,From Y. WHAT IS THE POINT? It's hardly like I need a little cardboard picture to reassure me that they really DO wish me a merry christmas. At least be bothered to put some form of effort into a minor personalised message in if they're going to do them at all. Grrrrr!!!

Pay attention LR, we had this a few days ago! Most of us agreed that they are a waste of time and resources.

We're currently getting a host of annoying e-cards from staff saying they've donated to charity instead of sending cards this year. That or the damn elfyourself thing that was funny three years ago.

Best of all was a guy who sent a blanket email saying he wasn't sending any cards this year and was going to use the money saved to go to the pub! Support your local at Christmas time.

I told my colleagues early that they weren't getting one but brought in a tin of roses instead (making sure I got in early to snaffle the caramel kegs!)

My favourite too - but if they are all gone then the Dairy Milk with have to do - there's normally some of those left.

When I used to live in a shared house, one of my co-tenants gave me a card with a lovely Christmassy churchy scene on the front, along with the message: Jesus loves you.

Open the card and it said: Everyone else thinks you're a ****!

I've never been onto the 'politics and life' thread... hmmm

Someone once gave me a Christmas card with a picture of Steve McQueen in a Santa hat on it.

That was cool.
