Do you send your OH a Christmas card?

[SpitSpot]

Have had conversation in office about sending Christmas cards and commented that I didnt send one to DH, think it is weird. Everyone's reaction was . My response was well we dont live in different houses why would I. Do you?

Yes I do. I have had to "train" dp into giving me one (oo-er) though .... because it matters to me.

If it doesn't matter to either of you then you do what you like

No, I find the idea of giving my husband or children cards very odd.

no I don't. we live together, I can wish him Happy Christmas in person on Christmas morning.(although that argument is spurious as we do give each other birthday and valentines cards)

No of course not. That's just silly.

I give hubby one but if I get one its usualy on christmas eve, kids got last years cards this year as I forgot to give them last year.

No, I never give Christmas cards to the people I'll see on the day. It always strikes me as weird when ILs hand us a card just before tucking into turkey.

No, and not to the DCs either. I'd find it very odd.

No but we did in our first year married and have kept and used the same cards ever since. Just store them with the xmas decs and get them out every year.

Oh God, I do, and my kids.

And I never gave it a second thought. I just thought it was the "done thing".

I am thinking I am am bit of a lunatic now.

Yes but only because he gets one for me, I think it's odd. He also likes to get cards with, Son/Daughter/Mum/Nanna/Cousin/Friend/Auntie-but-not-a-real-Auntie which I also find odd, they know how they are related to us.
However he thinks I'm strange for not writing who the card is to inside it so we are even stevens I suppose.

wow me too Bigbadmummy ...it's just what we've always done in our (my) family.

mind you I do love cards

God no - also only occasionally to my parents/siblings - people you're going to see on Christmas day don't need cards. IMVHO. Or maybe In My Traditions.

No - we send each other birthday cards, but not chriostmas. I don't send cards to anyone, mind, my PILs were very when I said I don't do cards, but they have got over it now.

Hell no!
MIL has been very upset when we haven't sent her one.

I only send cards to family who live far asay/I don't usually see.

She was even more when she came round just before Christmas and asked where our cards were displkayed, and I said that I binned them on receipt.

I just pile them up in the kitchen and then throwq themn away periodcally. I just don;t display the things, what else am I supposed to do with them, file them with my bank statements?

I send one to DH, from myself and one from DS. Dont think it is odd at all.
Getorfmoiland - you're missing a trick! I cut the majority of them up (there are some if doesnt work with) and they are gift tags for my presents the following year.

There's nowhere to put them. I try to have christmas look as least like when I was a child as much as possible (didn't have a particularly good upbringing, raised by my gran who was loopy at best and violent and nasty at worst) so Christmas cards around everywhere would make me remember unhappy childhood Christmases.

Sorry - sounds very strange and attention seeking and vaguely pathetic but that is why.

That is actually a very good idea re tags actually. DD has got some pinking scissors I could use those to cut out

No.

This is another of those things I never knew people did until joining MN.

We 'send' each other the cards we bought for our first Christmas as a married couple.

I also dont bother with those 'to my Nanna & grandad' cards either cos to me they are a waste of money.
