I judge people on their Christmas cards.

[Crushinginevitability]

Yes I do. They have to be Charity cards at least, and ideally religious with a pronounced Baybe Jesus. Not a Christmas T-Rex etc.

I didn't realise till I got a warm, fuzzy smug feeling when I bought my Fair Trade cards!

You've been warned!

I judge you when I send you a card .

So if you get a shite supermarket box set card it is because I think that is what you are worth .

I only send naice cards to people I think, will appreciate them , or will know the difference .

Just saying .

Amillionyears, cards that could be mistaken for a gift tag get especially judged in this house, and hidden at the back. Don't make that mistake this year.

Since most of my family and lots of friends are in the states, I'm just happy they took the time and expense to send a card. I like to make my own cards if I have time, but sometimes resort to buying them. I quite frankly don't care if someone judges based on expense of our cards - they can either be pleased we took the time to think of them (best response obviously) or too bad. I'd like to think most of my friends feel the same way - family, well, they're always difficult to please, aren't they?

I save the poinsetta and robin cards for people I don't like.

Thats me told!

Oh yes Tequila! A papery shitty bauble one means "you are dead to me." Festive passive aggression.

Sirsugar, your mate with issues sounds good value! I have a similar friend, wonder if its the same one?!

Hate writing them; love sending them. Can't wait until the charity ones are in at one of the local churches. I am getting bored with what's on offer and feel I need a Piperesque or Henry Moorish interpretation of the Madonna and Child.

My sil and Bil sent us a ponsetta card a few years ago ! nuff said was after that we decided the family realationship really wasn't worth bothering with,

Ah. You'd hate me, I buy those glittery Hello Kitty ones from Clinton's then I write them in sparkly pen.

My MIL used to open them at her kitchen table then immediately flex them before she'd opened them up. If they were too bendy ('cheap') she'd put them in the rubbish pile. Only the naice ones were put up

Goat- giving? That's amazing! What does the postman have to say?

meant getting them but I do like sending them once they have been written - makes me feel all smug.

at smugpertunity.
I do prefer a charidee baybee Jesus myself here is one of mine (usual HQ disclaimers apply)
But I have to say I honestly don't judge others on theirs though - I like having variety to put up.
I am however not sending local cards - we are paying to light the church for an evening instead. ----

Ivor, I'm with your MIL, plus the charity element (cos I'm v worthy.)

Clinton's Hello Kitty? That's unforgiveable.

What does Pippa say about it? I'm sure she must have a chapter on the correct Christmas cards etiquette.

"Smuggest: ostentatious goat-giving in lieu of cards"

"I judge if the bastard things won't stand up"

NB this thread is now in Christmas

I know, I'm terribly common

CLintons has closed down where are you going to get your hello kitty cards now

Usual HQ disclaimers?

Like, er, MNHQ does not have an official position on baby Jesus cards, and does not judge you on your sparkly robins, all opinions expressed are Olivia's personal judgmentalness?

I judge when they're not all the same size/shape to fit my card holder neatly

Noooooo! I didn't want it moved! By the time that nirmal people look in the Christmas bit it'll be TOO LATE and they'll have bought their cards and there will be thousands of social faux pas's happening, which could have been easily prevented!

Olivia your card looks acceptable in the face of it but it's hard to tell because I don't know how heavy the paper is.

Precisely that.

It's lovely card, glossy too - I would say maybe 250gsm?

A card holder? Not string and sellotape? Please explain.

Olivia why is the lottery hand trying to pick the nose of the baby Jesus ?

And unless you know someone very very well don't try and send a funny Christmas card , they generally aren't !
