Do you buy charity Christmas cards or do you buy any that take your fancy ? 
I buy special cards for close family and they arn't charity ones but the rest of the cards are always charity ones, this year they are for the Leprosy Mission, i was visitng a church as a tourist while on holiday and i liked them and bought them |

I'm getting to the point where I don't want to do Christmas cards anymore. Last year it took the best part of 2 days to deliver them. I'd much rather phone people up, or send them a nice message on facebook.  |

I do the bare minimum I have to, and buy the cheapest that I like (this year that will be 12 cards for £1 from poundland, plus god knows how much in bloody stamps). They all end up in the bin anyhow.
Bah humbug

I save some and use them next Chrostmas at work, the children love cutting them out and sticking them on card to make pictures and any that dont get used i recycle. |

"Aw i find that sad that people don't send them out in general although obviosuly its each to their own.
I love Christmas and love sending cards out "
Last year I realised I had people I only saw at Christmas when I took a card round to theirs  |

I don't give them to people I see regularly, just send them to friends and family we don't see often. I use it as a good time for a catch up by putting a little note in them. |

"I was a bit naughty this year I didn't look at the charity when I bought them. I thought all m&s cards where charity ones but apparently these are not  "
Well the thought was there |

Cards are a waste of money but still we buy them... 
I only buy immediate family nicey ones, the rest just get charity ones that I've bought in bulk. I work for the charity so makes sense for me to buy them!  |

**** buying cards. If you want to donate to charity - just give them the money.
Anyone you'd want to send a card to would probably appreciate a phone call much more ....... and if you don't have their number, why bother? |

I don't always buy charity cards and I don't feel guilty. I give money or take part in sponsored events for my favourite charity every year.
I'll but whichever ones catch my eye. I've cut down a lot on sending cards too. I really don't see the point of sending them just for the sake of it. |

Thats all very well if you have lots if time on your hands. Telephone calls tend to go on for ages especially with those you don't speak to often. |

My Christmas cards this year are for SENSE Scotland charity. Although they do feature a rather lovely Scottie dog pup like mine. These are for family and special friends. |

Funky pidgeon. Buy any 4 or more and get them half price and free postage so can get personalised ones with photos on etc for as little as 79p each. I refuse to go near card shops at Xmas time they're chaos! |

I only send to close family though and I've told work/school/nursery that I'm sticking a Tenner Into pot for the local hospice that looked after my friend and her family for 5 weeks while her mum was in there and then passed away. I've also crocheted them a blanket to raffle off in their Xmas raffle to fund raise too x |
