As did Councillor Sue Derbyshire, who as you pointed out earlier, sent exactly the same number (800) Christmas e-cards for the first time. Small world.
Can't comment on the Mayor but the Leader of the Council Cllr Sue Derbyshire his this year done away with sending the 800 cards the leader normally sends and has sent an e-card instead.

most people running large organisation send that sort of number and mix in the same circle so know what each other is doing. Sorry but you should not draw anything further from it than that and definitely not what your suggesting.

I think organisations sending Christmas cards is the most stupid thing ever. When I took over at my place, we did away with it entirely.

Duke, just because you think so, doesn't mean it is a fact.
If people or organisations for that matter decide to send Christmas cards then it is entirely up to them and really none of your business nor yours Wheels. It is not an unpleasant experience to receive a Christmas card from a distant family member or a friend who lives thousands of miles away whom you rarely see. It is a well intentioned, well meaning gesture with nothing but kindness and courtesy as its motivation.
To pour scorn on it is to take it upon oneself to be high - handed and mean minded. Your bah humbug! approach to this harmless, well wishing deed that brings a fleeting moment of happiness and respect to both donor and recipient Duke will be of no surprise to regular readers/contributors to this website.
To espouse the sterilisation of this once a year occasion and change it to email is like filling your garden with plastic flowers and is to me indicative that through a life of escalating bitterness and chagrin any poetry that you had left is well on its way to leaving both your souls forever.
That is indeed if either of you had one in the first place.
At the risk of being sexist your suggestion dictates that you could only be - MEN !

I agree with your point SS which is why I feel heartfelt Christmas greetings to ABC PLC from XYZ ltd lacks the personal joy of Christmas.

Point taken Duke, please don't call me SS it has obvious connections that I don't wish to be associated with.
