I mentioned on another thread in here that my Dad (91, dementia, prostate cancer, one leg and a few other ailments) no longer gets many Christmas cards - and you lot came up trumps :) I was overwhelmed with PMs offering to send cards - I hope I responded to all of them - sorry if I missed any. Anyway, here's a couple of pics of the wonderful selection we ended up with - if you don't spot yours in here it may be that they're on another flat surface in Dad's room (not much open space left!) or arrived after I took the pics.

I just wanted to say thanks so much to you all - he was so pleased to open them, he rarely remembers who anyone (apart from me!) is nowadays, so was easily convinced that they were from 'my friends'. It's made our Christmas, really it has :)

CrimpBrunette · 23/12/2018 12:49

Yep I'd be bloody fuming too! (Although I have to say I'd be more fuming if they'd turned up for the kids having drunk drove)

Met you on the Tesco thread Furry. So glad you've got the goose now and what an avalanche of cards for your dear Dad. Wishing you both a wonderful Christmas.

Didn't know about the post to send a card but here's Merry Christmas in Irish for you and your Dad:

Nollaig Shona Daoibh! 🎄☃️🎅🕯️

FurryDogMother · 23/12/2018 22:04

Just checking back in to say I'm loving the comments almost as much as we loved the cards - and yeah, it really has embodied the spirit of Christmas, and I'll remember this year forever. You're all lovely! (Hi again @FestiveForestieraNoel - looking forward to our goose!). Merry Christmas, one and all!
