Police. Now!

Also, find out who their landlord is and get them evicted for being such utter cunts.

Eviction is not enough name and shame them

Our NDNs are friends as well as neighbours and we do dog walks together. Obviously the dogs' names are included on the cards. My dog waits in front of their door for the dogs to come out and yelps with delight when they appear. How could they not be included.

Well quite! But the OP would doubtless disagree 🫣

ThatVividReader · 10/12/2025 09:55

Complete non-issue.

Do you not have much to think about?

Ive received a card from our neighbours two door down and it states all,the family’s name. To NewandBlue and husband from Pam, Pete, then also has their two adult children names on with their partners and kids names?

As it’s only Pam and Pete that are our neighbours I can’t see the point in putting all the families names on the card. Am I unreasonable?

FFS what is wrong with you?!

If this is the level people have now got to with criticising each other, I despair. Never mind, hopefully they will see this thread and not bother to send you one next year.

Isn’t it lovely to have information so you have free choice 🙂

you choose to just respond to your neighbours
or, if you feel like building closer bonds you can choose to include their wider family in a card, if you wish

Not sure why it would be any bigger deal than this? Is there more to the situation that you haven’t disclosed?

BauhausOfEliott · 10/12/2025 10:04

JFC, just put whatever you want on the card.

I cannot believe anyone would give this so much as a second thought.

Leighonseawoman · 10/12/2025 10:06

My neighbour did that. They also sent a Grinch card, which I found insulting. I replied to them, with their name plus family. After writing 50 cards My hand was giving out. I also sent them a card with a nativity scene

20 years ago if you thought this kind of thing was weird you’d roll your eyes, chuckle to yourself inwardly and, if it was an extremely quiet month in boringsville, you might mention it to a friend over coffee.

Fast forward and it can be offered up to the entire world to chew on and judge. The result is an increase in mean and performative behaviour making people feel paranoid and inferior.

Great.

Be a long time writing out their cards if they had 12 kids and 24 grandkids. 😮

Nice gesture, their way of doing things, be gracious and thankful that you don't have neighbours from hell. The end.

dottiedodah · 10/12/2025 10:31

I have a lovely NDN from the states .She has 3 boys and I can never remember their names! I just send from all at no 42 and leave it at that

Laserwho · 10/12/2025 10:35

One if my adult kids doesn't live with me. I always include their name on Christmas cards. Get over yourself

Shedeboodinia · 10/12/2025 10:45

Why are you even wasting time thinking about it?

SharonBe · 10/12/2025 10:47

NewandBlue · 10/12/2025 07:02

No, not new to the street. There are a lot of neighbours and their children’s and partners names (and their little ones names) so quite long to write!

It seems a bit pointless to me, also I don’t know their family.

Just write to z, y and family! Who cares what other people write in their cards if it makes them happy.

TallShip · 10/12/2025 10:48

I have a friend who does this. I know I’m being unreasonable because it drives me crazy, but it’s my problem not hers!

FollowSpot · 10/12/2025 10:49

Tippex out the family names.

Ariela · 10/12/2025 10:51

They've done as I do - written ALL the cards, sealed them, slapped the label on (I print ours). Only send 20, mostly to older than us.

I suspect the OP is one of those souls whose happiest of they are moaning. So Pam and Pete striking them off their card list would probably make the OPs Christmas for all the milage they could get out of it!

My neighbours a few doors away sent one and included the names of their cats. I sent one to the neighbours, and one especially for the cats, 'allowing' them to show it to 'their humans' if they wanted to.
I don't really celebrate Christmas, but it seemed a nice/fun thing to do. The humans loved the gesture! (the cats didn't comment) 👍🐱

Ha - this reminded me of a friend of my mum’s who used to send a Christmas round robin as written by the cats, explaining what their humans had done that year. It was the cringiest thing you’ve ever seen, but kind of fabulously so.

My thoughts exactly
Bizarre

I can't decide if it's the product of a charmed life where there are no real actual issues to be aggrieved about... in which case, yay OP I guess... or the result of a life that is so FULL of trial and tribulation that the slightest thing just boils your piss... in which case, the OP has my sympathy.

Enigma54 · 10/12/2025 11:10

First world problems OP.
Deary me.
YABU.

I think the point is that you are still her children!

Maybe you should just be glad that she still loves you all, and is still proud enough of you all, to bother writing your mames out?

Show quote history

I think it's infantilising tbh

My parents live in the same house I grew up in with many of the same neighbours. I'm sure they doesn't include my name in their cards, bc I'm an adult, quite capable of writing cards and have no relationships with these neighbours.

I don't care if that makes us unreasonable

Is this a real question?

You only have to put two extra names to take their lead.

This is beyond ridiculous.

We've lived here over 10 years and received a Christmas card the first year addressed to our house number " To new neighbours at No. 6 from Steve & Amy No. 23 "
So popped one in their door to them , obviously from our name .
Since then we have received one every year . We've sent back but tbh , even if I passed them in the street , I wouldn't know it was them , we've never met them !
This year we are not going to respond by sending a card and hopefully they won't bother next year.

I think the neighbours are letting you know who they are if you need them or have an issue...I think it's the very essence of neighbourly
