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?

I don't send them
We had only a few this year
I can't be bothered with them
Birthday cards are different for me somehow

I send two a year. One to my mother and one to my Auntie who is almost 80. They are dying out now.

You count your cards and you work out which ones were sent before and after?

Well I’m one of these ‘nobodies’ who sends cards.
I send them to a few neighbours, especially to my immediate neighbours who are Afghan refugees who always drop a card into us first, and a special ‘to our lovely neighbours’ card.
As for posting cards I only send them to older relatives.

Opps soz

What an odd thing to be upset about.
Did you send cards to your whole neighbourhood then?

In my mind cards are for people you don't see often, not neighbours

Sending cards is a nice tradition -ecards not same
Maybe simply don't send to those who don't reciprocate

We don't do cards and haven't done for the last few years. We make a charity donation to the rescue our cats came from instead.

Although we had a hand delivered card from our neighbour over the road yesterday with a really lovely message in so now I'm feeling a bit guilty.

I haven’t sent a Christmas card for well over a decade now. But I very definitely do give an extra donation to charity instead. If that boils your piss, that says more about you than it does me.
Very few people I know still send cards (I’m 50+). They’re incredibly environmentally wasteful though I appreciate not everyone thinks that. Each to their own.

I a m another who has neither sent nor received Christmas cards in years.

Well there is one I get every year for the previous occupants, who sold the house to me in 2008. The sender must have a very thick skin, I’d love to tell them that the people have moved but there is no return address.

That's fine though. I send cards to my friends as I don't write to them other times of the year and it's my way of saying I love you.

I'm pretty eco friendly in other senses, don't buy cars or get on a plane.

If anyone doesn't want to send cards absolutely ok!

I honestly don’t know (nor care) who sent us cards. Obviously, I know at the moment I open them and read them, but that’s and I’ll almost immediately forget. I don’t analyse who’s sent them or keep records etc., nor give them another moment’s thought.

I love how people are going on about the environmental damage caused by cards yet will happily eat a ton of meat over Christmas.

I sent no cards to anyone at all. I just didn't have time.

Same here

It's literally just an old-fashioned version of fishing for likes, isn't it? People who place so much value on getting a generic card that has had little thought or effort put into it as the sender robotically signs their names at the bottom over and over, are no different those who judge their own popularity on how many followers they have or likes they get. I think you need to contemplate on why this upsets you so much.

No cards at all to mine. I have been ill. Instead I take in their parcels, lend them ingredients and look after their houses when they go away.
I've babysat their children, litter picked with them and taken in their washing if they had issues with their machines.
I'm a good neighbour even though I don't send cards.

Why would anyone send cards to their neighbours? Surely you can just wish them Merry Christmas in person.
