My mum feels a little stress from it all but it is never that bad. Ours have been very calm affairs for a few years now. _________________Do concentrate, 007... "You are gifted.

This year, Christmas has a bit of a hollow feel to it for me. Though one person I work for said I should have the Christmas my grandma would have wanted me to have. I'll try to bear that in mind.

+1, a girl in work even said there's no point in doing cards for blokes (she's generally right lol). _________________Plain English advice on everything money, purchase and service related:

In which case she's probably right. If all she is giving for is to get one back then really, what's the point? Mark

And why is it men feel no guilt for not sending cards? _________________Still the official cheeky one

And why is it you're posting a sweeping generalisation? Mark

She probably wouldn't answer me without expecting something in return. Mark

Because we understand that christmas cards are trivial nonsense, which only tell people things we could reasonably assume they already know anyway. I mean, you send a card to people saying 'I hope you have a happy christmas'. Are they going to assume that if you don't send them a card saying that, it means you'd rather they had a miserable christmas and spent new year dead in a ditch before being discovered on the 5th of January, your corpse having been nibbled by stray dogs? They'd have to be pretty paranoid if they did. Thus they are entirely redundant and can safely be ignored in favour of things that actually matter. And also the fact we're not so utterly shallow as to believe not sending a card to someone who has sent you one is some kind of massive faux pas. we just absolutely do not keep those kind of social scorecards. Yours, The Grinch.
