about this christmas card?

[doneit]

This morning I opened...

"To a dear Sister in Law at Christmas"

Enough said?

Who was it from?

My sister in law, sorry to sound like an ungrateful bitch but it's the most hideous card and the only reason she chose it is because of the wording..

havent the faintest what you are on about tbh

Not unreasonable at all

My MiL sends a card to Son and DiL and that annoys me too

I take it you don't have a good relationship with your SIL?

so your sister in law sent a card to her sister in law? which happened to be you. And?

YABU
She went to the bother of trawling the market/poundland for a card with the correct wording.
FIL sends us one every year - to dear son and daughter-in-law, it does make me chuckle, but is given with the utmost sincerity.

dont be spiteful

Ok probably am being unreasonable but these cards make me shudder

I don't get it.....

She sounds like a complete and utter bitch, how dare she wish you a merry christmas?! What is wrong with people at this time of year? I hate 'em. Burn the card and an effigy of her next time she comes round or, you never know, she might even start bringing GIFTS or that goodwill shit.

I don't get it.

It's a card.

It sounds like an appropriate card to me.

YABU. Not everyone has the same tastes.

She chose it for the words. My MIL in does this and even goes to the effort of underlining certain words for emphasis. Although I don't chose that type of card myself I really do appreciate the sentiment because I love my MIL and I know she loves me.

I think you are being U and petty.

YANBU those cards are unspeakably naff!

Don't get it either.
We have received to a dear son and daughter on law- is there some slight in this that I am missing?

I've totally missed the boat on this one. WtF is wrong with sending a card to your sil that happens to denote the fact that it's to your sil? I got one for my sister and bil.... they love it.

Sorry, wht's your point?

You don't like it because it's naff or because you see her every day? I happen to think that cards with that kind of specific wording, christmas cards to people you live with and anything from Hallmark are all horrible but I imagine I am in the minority.

I quite miss those padded sateen ones I used to get from teenage boyfriends. You could tell how much they loved you by the size of the card.

They are not my cup of tea, something i would never buy, but she probably meant well.

"Who was it from?"

ROFL!! Nice one, wahwah!

Is there a snobbery that I have missed about sister-in-law cards?

I don't receive this type of card because my SIL never sends cards.

I do hope you inform your SIL about your outrage and disgust at having to receive such a card. And I hope she sends you a huge padded one next year.

Yep, I am definitely being snobby!

my dh does these. I hate them but havent the heart to tell him (why oh why didnt I 11 years ago!).

We have VERY different tastes.
Our house could be best described as a collision of culture.
