Default Not getting any Christmas cards?

Picture the scene; you leave the room to visit the toilet and someone sneeks a peek at the meagre display of Christmas cards huddled pathetically on your mantlepiece. There is one from your mother, a generic one from work, one from the off-license ("to our most valued customer...") and one you've recycled from last year. You come back in to condescending looks and before you know it the details of your sad and empty life are common knowledge amongst the extended family and beyond. The boffins at Arbottlecorp have come up an ingenious solution to this annual dilemma - The Fake Friends Greeting Card Service (patent pending). Just PM me your details to receive your totally free card with a 'personal' message tailored to your requirements. From the staightforward Season's Greetings to the cryptic message alluding to a more intimate relationship, we can provide all manner of cards to create an illusion of popularity and intrigue.

Offer limited to one card per household. Arbottlecorp accept no responsibility for the web of deceit in which you find yourself if you balls up the explanation of the card's origin.

i dont get many cards, certainly not enough to put up anyway, i find christmas a difficult time, i just always think that everyone else is having such a good time and everyone is with their family, and there i am, alone pretty much, i dunno its just a funny time, it wasnt like this when i was a kid, i used to enjoy it very much but now im an adult things have changed so much and i see it in a different way.

I always get loads of cards from work people, but never send them

This will be my first Christmas living alone, so I'm wondering if I should recognise it in my apartment or not. There would be no visitors, so putting a small tree up would only be for my benefit....and if I'm honest, I doubt I'd feel full of festive spirit sat looking at the tree on my own
