Spartacus Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 With the 12th night already passed, I'm still getting late Christmas cards (post delays) My dilemma is should I put them up or store them / dispose of them ? If I put them up past the 12th night then does tradition apply and they have to stay up for 12 months ?If I don't put them up. Is it disrespectful to the people who sent them ?What are other people doing with delayed Christmas cards ?

another annie Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 We received quite a few yesterday and added them to our 'display'. People have taken the time to choose and send them and written newsy messages inside, seems a shame just to leave them in a pile/drawer/bin. Took all other decorations down yesterday so hope that covers the 'bad luck' thing...

another annie Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Change of mind, it was getting sort of depressing still having them up. Lots missing still, and we'll of course put any more that arrive on display for a while, as kidkruger says its only fair to the senders - and they can swell the number of birthday cards later this month (if I get any :) ) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/301126-dilemma/#findComment-1559988 Share on other sites More sharing options...
