Christmas card from neighbour..

[NewandBlue]

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?

It's well within the realms of normal behaviour, so whilst it may be pointless, so are many things.
You're overthinking

You were insulted by a Christmas card with a reference to a Christmas-themed book/film on it?

And you remember this to the extent that you recall making a point of sending them a nativity card (which they won't have given a second thought to) in response?

Good grief.

A waste of ink!!

I now know this is a wind up.

Oh gosh you might be my neighbour! I always write both dogs’ names and draw a paw print each (yes I am aware this isn’t normal behaviour for an adult 🤣)

Lord you’d hate our cards, we include the dog as a signatory with a biro paw 🐾 print

😁

I just put 'and family', it's a lot easier

The bastards!

(pointing out that this is sarcasm)

I wish my life was this boring that I could get angry over something like this

Can you imagine being such a miserable fucker that you'd think there was something wrong with this?

x post, sorry!

But I do love the post about the cat “writing “ the letter … shit like that just makes the day a little nicer. Like you say cringey, but also nice too.

Also agree the sending of cards to those you may never have spoken to on your street is just a nice neighbourly gesture, letting you know they are there in a fire emergency. We never know when we may need the kindness and compassion of strangers

Oh, you’re not being a miserable grinch, you’re just worried about the cost of ink they’ve wasted.
I see.

One of my neighbours sends a hand made card with all their children and grandchildren’s names. She also includes a letter saying what each of the family have been up to in the last year.
I don’t know her grandchildren but I read the letter as they are a nice family.
Complaining what someone has done kindly seems such a miserable Scrooge like thing to do!

Imagine overthinking this much. Must be exhausting.

i am sometimes astounded by the things I read on here that seem to be causing issues

Just write neighbour's names plus family. That covers everyone.

Seriously??? Is this all you have to think about??

What a strange thing to be confused about.

Really??

....So? You honestly gave enough of a shit about the ink wastage to post?!

I cannot grasp how miserable and stingy some people are.

I write Christmas cards to people and include the names of their children who no longer live at home. Not that different a thing. You send cards to families; you get them from families.

I cannot understand why this bothers you in any way at all, and certainly not enough to make a thread about.

I can’t believe you have nothing else to think about other than if this is unreasonable, it really doesn’t matter in the grand scheme of things, it’s the neighbours card she can write who she wants on it.

You know you’ve spent more time on this post than it would’ve taken to just write out a reciprocal card, right?

You might come across other instances where people do things differently to how you do them, so my advice would be is try to remember that some people do things differently to you.

Well of course the only names appearing on an Xmas, Birthday or any other type of card, for that matter, should only be of the people living in the house it was sent from!

How very odd that you think otherwise.
