[QUOTE="Squire Fulwood, post: 1008546, member: 44622"] The pressure of Christmas is huge. In my last house I got a card every year from someone I didn't know. At the 20 year mark there was a message saying, "We still live at No. 11" which suggests they were not getting a reply but did not know how to cross someone off their list. It happened again at this house but at about the 15 year mark the message said, "Sorry to hear about Gwen". I made enquiries and the previous owners wife had indeed died. The sender knew that she was dead but didn't know that she had moved house fifteen years before. I was unreliable in the card sending department and gave up a few years ago. Other people must have crossed me off their list since incoming cards are fewer but some still arrive. As for the rest of Christmas, you can keep it. Silly present buying to, "It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas". Getting presents that I have no use for since the giver is compelled to conform. These days I just buy myself a present. I always like it. [/QUOTE]
