The polite thing to do...

[NappiesGalooooooooooooria]

or at least the merciful thing...

for those hideously organised people who write and send out christmas cards nice and early (or at all) the nice thing to do is to include a sticker or summat of your oen address so people can easliy write a return card and pretend they were going to all along...

grrr.

hear, hear! I agree whole-heartedly

!!!

otherwise you are sending 2 options:

a - a message that reciever will say 'ahh, thats nice. so and so sent us a card dear, look.', followed immediately by 'ah rats, wheres that persons address? do i even have it? if not i better call them and ask, but then i'll get drawn into a long convo and i havnt spoken to them in 2.5 years so thats a bit embarrasing and anyway i dont have time to do all that because i have a million other things to do...' then the card is displayed somehere, reminding the reciever of their incompetence and social mis-grace all the way throught to january when it finally stops taunting...

or

um, well thats it. one option really.

on a positive note - people who send unreciprocated cards only tend to do so for 3 years or so before they give up and leave you alone.

I was going to put stickers in the cards but does that say that we are expecting a return card ????

I don't mind what people do with the cardss we send if they want to throw them away or put them up but I was wondering about your question

i was being flippant and thinking only of myself actually, sorry about that.

ok - thread shoul;d read; the polite thing to do when sending a acrd to me, would be....blah blah blah...

only coz i feel vaguely guilty that i am not organised enough to send cards out myself. not to worry though, the guilt passes. quite quickly actually
