Call me a humbug but I think Chrissy cards are over rated. Who has time for them? :) I haven't sent any out for ages and still have the same number of friends who we either see or speak to over this stupid time of year!!

Not quite a Chrissy card, but did my own calendar. Printed at local Xerox shop yesterday for $18 for 14 page calendar. The PDF is 70MB, so a bit big to upload here. Chrissy cards will certainly be the go next year for me.

I usually design a couple every year and send them to family, friends and clients. I send some as cards and some via email.

I received lot free blank cards from many organizations and marketing people since sept. and I used them if I require to, but so far I only sent card to someone who had sent me, and use the free blank cards.
Why should we bother?

Vince,

I am with Geoff in the bah humbug stakes these days, but you did bring my mind back to the last one I sent out. Back in the nineties one of my businesses was a phone sex company and my partner was a dead ringer for the girl shown below. This was my Christmas card one year. I can email you the artwork if you, your wife and kids would like to use it :wink:

Glen,
Can I order them in mass production so I can send them to all the politicians here in Australia/ USofA/ Britain? :wink:

Being our 1st year as Parents, my Wife & I couldn't help but take photos of our Twins for an Xmas card.

I posted this photo here a few weeks ago (which some of you may remember). We used the same photo and had it printed as 6x4's and stuck them to the front of all our Xmas cards.

I'm sure many people think it's sappy and overdone/over-rated, but for some people, it's a good way to share the joy amongst family & friends in the festive season.....and also another excuse to take photos :wink:

Chris, $5 a minute


Birddy, interestingly enough, many, many government departments were caught calling our lines :shock: Their favoured time for calling was 7.30 -8.30am, probably very lonely at most government departments then

Dave, I don't think it's sappy or overdone. I reckon you'd have got a good few oohs and aaahs when the envelopes were opened.

That where the taxpayer's funds were gone into. I noticed that on one Govt. account with their server's logs of of phone calls during one quarter of the year.

Indeed we did, and of course we were very proud. We even had 2 international phone calls from relatives overseas that we haven't spoken to in a long while....and they just had to call up and say how much they loved the photo :D
