Christmas Card

I send very few Christmas cards these days, as there's an environmental cost for every card I send.

However, I still want to greet my friends at Christmas, and I also want to give to charity the money I'm saving on cards.

So, for each of my friends (and regular visitors to this journal) who download the card and post something in the comments, I'll donate 70p to the Dorset Wildlife Trust.  This is their 50th anniversary and they've challenged their members to try and raise £50 each.

Here's the link - it's from a professional site, one I have used for a couple of years now and I've never had any viruses or other nasties from it.

Aw. I particularly liked the Border Collie, I wondered about the sheep al going to the barn then the dog appeared and all was explained *g*.

Happy Christmas!

That is a good card, and a good idea.

Thank you, Lawson's card is as beautiful as ever. She does wonderful work.

Really lovely. Good work. I watched it twice to see again the part where the boy is stroking the horse, then taking the sheep to the warmth of the barn. This makes me think of an old favorite winter book, Astrid Lindgren's "The Tomten." Merry Christmas, Judith!

That's lovely thank you. Like decemberleaf I liked the sheep coming inside to keep warm. Happy Christmas to you watervole.

I too send very few cards, and thanks to the weather none have gone out this year. For my far away friends I have used Jacqui for the last couple of years but I don't know how to do this. Please tell me how and keep a look on my site as I will be donating half and half to the British Heart Fountadion and Cancer research.

Do you mean you don't know how to post the card on LJ?

I send a card to myself and then post the link from that on LJ.

If you mean the 70p, I'm just adding them up in a notebook as people reply and then I'll send the money myself.

I mean how to post, you make it sound so simple but I have slush for brains when it comes to doing things on the computer, thank you.

Oh how beautiful and soothing. Thank-you for doing this.

On another topic, I want to ask your opinion on hoarseness and inhaled steroids - I'll drop you a private message on lj.

Write to Judith dot proctor at gmail dot com

The short answer is yes, inhaled steroids will cause hoarseness in some users.

Oh so lovely, thank you-I suspect you will receive the same one - I will check on it:-)

My parents have a large display of Christmas cards. The only one I got was from my comic book dealer. :(
