Xmas Cards

[Bill W (2)]

BJ kindly brought to our attention last year a splendid range of rugby related Xmas Cards that, inter alia, benefit the Matt Hampson Trust.

They, with new ones, are available again this year.

I bought some of these last year. They were excellent and drew a lot of positive comments from some of the recipients. And all for an excellent cause.

Ditto. I'll have a look later, if there are some different designs it'll be good.

There are some new designs. I was so incapable of making my mind up I order mixed packs. Last year I bought only "oh scrum all ye faithfull"

[Bill W (2)]

Have now received my order.

Excellent designs and excellent quality!

[Rizzo]

I will order when I get paid. Good to see some new designs, being picky I don't like sending the same design card to people who got it last year. Good cause, and good quality cards too.

I've bought both sets and the only question is which friends to send such super cards too. they are brilliant and in a good cause. go buy!

Pedant alert!

Although I am no Christian, millions of people are. And they revere a bloke they call Christ.

So personally, I hate the term Xmas and much prefer Christmas.

I wait and tremor and the thought of Bill's withering response!

I quite like " winterval" :D remember that ? lol

"X" was, for many years, a normal and uncontroversial abbreviation for Christ. "Xmas" should still be pronounced "Christmas"

Not withering.

Many non-Christians enjoy sharing the festival (which incidentally I believe stems from a pagan one). I respect their views, and just as I use the phrase G*d out of respect for their beliefs and feelings so I use the word Xmas rather than Christmas so as to avoid offence rather than cause it.

I know the Crimbo cards are rugby orientated but what exactly has a debate wheather is "Christmas" or "Xmas" got to do with rugby

[Rizzo]

Bringing this back on topic - I repeat that these are very good quality cards - unlike some you can buy which are on cheap thin card. I've just sent the link to a friend who received one of the cards from me last year as he said "these are brilliant, not just rugby fans but any sports fans would like them...better than a fat robin sitting on a Christmas pud or whatever!"

And all in a good cause!

And btw some of the cards have the greeting inside "Have a Scrummy Christmas" and others "Have a Ball this Christmas".

And on the back is "Merry Christmas from the Loose Heads"
