Is this card adequate

[isthisenoughomly]

Pls is this card adequate from a partner of 29 years and 2 kids?

🙄

I've never given my dh a Christmas card and would never expect one. Really don't understand couples who give each other Christmas cards to be honest

It's fine.

We don't even bother with cards tbh, we live in the same house and say "happy Christmas" to each other.

Yes what's wrong with it?

It's nice, but we give to each other and then a mam/dad one from kids. Even when son was only 7 weeks old. Did you get a nice presenr?

Meh. To some people cards are really important and to others not so much, and that should be something your partner knows about you.

Were you disappointed?

Adequate for what purpose?

I’m assuming you /somebody else doesn’t think so?

Never done Xmas cards to each other here so I don’t really get the worry.

im sure it’s fine, it’s just a card.

I think you're going to have to give us a back story, @isthisenoughomly

difficult to comment on whether the card is adequate, it looks like a standard Christmas card "To Someone Special", but do you think it's too vague i.e. "someone" being you and you wanting it to say something more specific like "To the One I Love at Christmas"?

It's ugly AF, but that's just my taste I guess.
It's fine. What did you want?
We don't do cards to eachother.

This really made me laugh.
What a stretch.

Depends on your family traditions and expectations. What did you do last year?

My DBIL’s family all exchange special ‘to my dear great-niece and her bisexual FWB’, personalised, chosen in advance with care and sent out for 1st December to have pride of place in the festive décor schème. My DPs send cards (charity multipack, probably saved from last year) to family we won’t see around Christmas time. I only send one to my godmother as she is not on any social media and lives abroad and according to her daughter she loves to receive it. DH is from a country where Christmas cards aren’t exchanged (or sold).

Did your DP give you any gift, other than this card (which looks quite nice)? What were you expecting? What did you give him?

What's the real issue here?

We don't bother sending cards to each other. I am not sure why some people are so fussed over these small things.

Yes.

No definitely not, I’d get upstairs now and pack his bags. Grab the photo albums and a bottle of Baileys and spend the evening cutting him out of all your family pictures.

It's fine. But I'm another one that doesn't see the point of giving cards to people you live with.

@Itsaswelltime I may have had one too many Baileys (or not enough) but I first read that as the whole family exchanged cards that said "To my dear great niece and her bisexual FWB". I thought that sounded like an odd but amusing tradition and then wondered where you would get such a specific card.

I would find it weird to receive a card from someone I live with.

If you're not happy with it then you're not happy with it. Adequate is a nebulous term.

As this thread shows loads of people think special family cards are weird (but given there are loads of them in the shops others love it 🤷🏻‍♀️)

Adequate for what? Instead of a gift?

Don't project.

I don't get dh cards.

in what terms do you mean adequate? I’m not sure I could cause drama over a card on Christmas Day.🙄

I'd prefer something a bit more adult, but I suppose it's what's written inside it that really matters.
