I live in a small cul de sac and get on very well with all my neighbours bar one couple. They have caused me so much grief this year.
Today they put a Christmas card through my door and I'm not sure what to do. My options are
Send them one back being as its Christmas
Ignore it and not bother
Or. Post theirs back
What would you do? |

Ah Christmas card politics, what a nightmare
When I was in a relationship my sister-in-law sent me a card from her an my bro
But left my girlfriend and her daughter off it.
You wouldn't believe the fuss that coursed. |

I agree, sometimes a small gesture no matter how delivered can help make matters better. It costs little but can have big rewards.
Please can I wish you happy Christmas too. |

Take it as an olive branch and send 1 back. Maybe even put in it new yr new start....
Life can be hard engh without problems with neighbours. But that all depends on how far things have already gone. Best of luck |

Difficult one. It would depend on the grief for me bur I can be an unforgiving cow 
If they really wanted to make amends they would have knocked on the door and wished you a Merry Christmas on person...with a smile.

"you haven't mentioned in short who started the grief, always two sides to a story."
They have always been the nosey neighbour s of our cul de sac. In fact they have fallen out with most of the street. I have however stood my ground. It's got to a point where we just don't acknowledge each other. Hence the surprise when I got the card this morning. |

"To me it would depend on exactly what "grief" they had caused 
Quite a lot really. In fact they have been an absolute nightmare.  "
Well then definitely ignore it,do they think a Xmas card will make up for all the stress they have caused you. I know what it's like to have shitty neighbours |

Ah if they only put your house number on rather than your name I'm afraid I'd have thrown it in the bin. |

Offer to take them to a club and be fucked senseless?
May work
They may be sexually frustrated and that's enough to make anyone miserable
That, or invite em back for a drink.
Are they fit?
If not, go with the 'turd option' above

I got one from a very sexy neighbour...to myself and "Caroline"..... I don't know any Caroline lol....
Should I put her straight and tell her I don't have a girlfriend?
She may be confused over my "friend" Lorraine? |

sometimes people are a bit of a pain in the arse as there is something going on in their private life which they dont feel they can share yet..
maybe they've realised and want to make amends..
or they could be total pains in the arse and sarcastic to boot.. |

My God. A club visit would probably kill them
May give that a miss. Then again!!! 
I am only joking. Don't wish to kill them off but I do wish they weren't my neighbours. |

If you don't like them don't card them.
Especially as your card only had a door number on it.
I ain't sent any cards for twenty odd years. No one seems that bothered by the recycling I'm saving them. |

To be honest she is a bit of a snob. I live in the only rented bungalow in the cul de sac. I work hard as do my kids but she has had major issues with my renting. It has come up in several conversations (when we used to speak). She would often add the. "Well not sure why I'm including you. You live in rented"
Things have got progressively worse over the last 5 years. Once my kids leave home I'm out of here. X |

"I’d knock on their front door wearing nothing but stockings and suspenders and thank them for the party invitation…  "
Ha ha. That reminds me of the time I was having new beds delivered. I left my little clothes airer( which is usually in the hall) outside the front door. She phoned my letting agent to complain that I was drying clothes outside the house. When the agent called me I explained the situation and told them to ring her back and tell her to be grateful I wants drying my undies!! |

Too late for that I'm afraid. I have spoken to both of my kids who have been harrassed tooand we came to a joint decision .
Don't wish them any harm but maybe now they will leave me and my kids alone. Xx |

I've been here 5 years they were here before me. They have always hand delivered cards and vice versa since I moved in. This year the Shit really hit the fan. Too many things to mention and I have retaliated. I really had no intention of swapping cards or festivities withthem this year, too much water under the bridge. She watched me last night, delivering cards to my other neighbours and today got acard from them. No name, just my house number. No thought at all. Pissed me off a bit to be honest. Xx |

But it was a thought. That's all that counts. Whilst I don't know the ins and outs and I don't want to, the reaction to go post it back or that you don't have the patience for her etc makes it seem that the issue is very much yours. |

I understand it looks that way. Like you say without knowing the ins and outs it's hard to know my reason. I appreciate everyone has different thoughts on the post and I'm not usually a bitter person but this just felt like a bit of a nose rub rather than an olive branch x |
