OT - Christmas cards

deleted_user

I'm making Christmas cards this year so I don't have the time to make one for *everyone* I know (especially the 50 or so people on the floor of the office building where I work). There are a few people at work to whom I'd like to give cards but I'm afraid others to whom I'm not giving cards will see me delivering them. Is it okay to just give cards to some people? I guess I could sneak them out one at a time or put them in a bag or something.

I think it's ok. I've done that, just don't make it obvious.

well if your not close friends with these people why should it matter if they got them or not

well, sometimes people think that they are your friends when they really aren't. You don't want them to know that.

Exactly dobie. There's one person in particular who thinks he's a very good friend of mine and always gets me a card and a little gift. I don't want to reciprocate. I don't really like him. He's a very negative person and always hangs around my office complaining about things.

Maybe do one christmas card addressed to everyone at work, and then just give more personalized ones to the individuals

Personally, I don't send Christmas cards...thet are expensive, and the I have to worry about who to send them to, who I forgot and all that nonsense.

I agree with gimmechocolate, I quit sending or giving Christmas Cards years ago. I always felt the "obligation" and it was frustrating. Nobody sends them to me anymore because they don't get them. That's fine with me, it saves more trees that way.
