    Themed Christmas Cards

    Was trying to find some Christmas cards in Sainsbury's, but every single one was themed.

    To a great dad, Merry Christmas
    Happy New Year son
    To the best auntie in the World, Best wishes for Christmas
    To a generous sugar daddy, a Happy and Prosperous new Year

    etc, etc, etc ...

    Where are the general cards, that aren't addressed to a particular relative?

    Eventually I did manage to find what I thought was an unthemed card, and bought a couple. But on unwrapping them they turned out to be gift boxes for DVDs!

    Doesn't everyone just resend last years received cards and tipex over any writing inside ?
    How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

              What's wrong with taking a photo of yourself on your iPhone, then printing it out with the words 'Happy Xmas from me'.
              What happens in General, stays in General.
              You know what they say about assumptions!

                Spendthrift! Printing costs money; email it to 'em, and be done with it.

                    My wife has the same problem with cards for her mother. What we need is a "Here you go you miserable old bag, pick fault with this." card.
