To be upset neighbours didn't send cards?

[Anjali2023]

I thought we had a happy neighbourhood - why couldn't they be bothered to make the tiniest effort?

Many people don’t write cards anymore and just do a charity donation.

I love my neighbours but still didn’t send cards. It doesn’t mean I don’t like them.

I don't bother sending cards to people I see regularly as I can wish them a Happy Christmas when I stop to chat.

I send cards to people I don't see regularly and write quite a bit in them.

I got one card from my neighbours but didn’t send any as it’s just a bit of a waste of time and money now. Doesn’t mean I don’t like my neighbours!

I don't send any because I can see my neighbours to wish them a merry Christmas and I'm grateful they don't send me any because it means I don't have more to put in the recycling bin.

Many people don't send cards, I used to send them but stopped, they are a unnecessary waste.

I’ve not done cards for years now. That included a family and friends let alone neighbours. Judging by the number I’ve had, I’d say most people are the same now.

I don’t send anyone cards, let alone neighbours.

There are lots of reasons less people are sending cards nowadays, it doesn't mean you don't have a nice friendly neighbourhood though.

You can say Merry Christmas to neighbours when you see them, you need for cards.

Because they realise that Christmas cards are pointless, meaningless and a waste of time, money and paper.
Any cards I receive don’t get displayed just chucked straight into recycling.

I don't do cards for anyone except some of the extended family who I know really put store in them.

They are expensive, A waste of money. Just go to landfill and a waste of time when frankly it is enough of a struggle for just to get through the day as it is.

I have nice chats over the fence very often and every now and then we have a drinks party.

That's more than enough for me.

People don't write them anymore.

I wrote to family and friends and didn't receive many.

I don't mind. I think I'll start phasing them out myself.

I haven’t sent cards for years. We’ve only received three this year so we’re clearly not the only ones. Totally normal.

I didn't do neighbour or any cards this year. I'm working 6 days a week in the NHS. I'm in my 60s and too bloody tired to write loads of cards that will just be binned after a week7

YABU. Very few people send Christmas cards these days. I used to get multiple ones until about three years ago, now I get a small handful.

It’s a combination of people being skint and exhausted and the fact that Christmas cards are environmentally unfriendly.

Also tbh even in the past I wouldn’t have expected to get them from neighbours who you see all the time. Christmas cards are more for people you don’t see day to day.

Very strange thing to get upset about.

I don't send cards to anyone. They are just a waste of money and resources.

We used to have neighbours who scream abuse over the garden and whose kids used to light random fires in the neighbourhood. Just be grateful that yours are quiet and nice. Who cares about cards?

Some of our neighbours don't send them - 4 of our neighbours have lived here, like us, for about 30 years. They sent cards, but 3 don't. It's fine, I won't send cards to those 3 next time

I think it’s a shame when people don’t make the effort but it does appear to be dying out. We have loads of cards this year but mainly from the DCs’ little school mates, they’re not from people who’ve sent them to us. It’s quite sad really. I still send a lot but get fewer and fewer in return. I don’t think a twee post on Facebook and a (real/fake?) donation to charity is the same!

I didn’t send cards to my friends and family let alone neighbours.

Most people don't send cards anymore, to be honest I dread recieveing one as I know they'll be an expectation to send one back and we don't buy them anymore. It's not an indication of how much or whether they like you or not, our neighbours are amazing and I didn't send them a card back although did get them a small gift.

I really like most of my neighbours and go out for dinner and drinks etc with some but don’t write Christmas cards. I believe they are wasteful and unnecessary. I donated food to our local SSPCA were we got our beautiful fur boy who recently passed from.

I didn’t send any cards, lots of people don’t now.

I haven't sent cards for years.
