Is a "no cards Christmas" the way to go?

This year, as in the previous 10 years, C&D Consultancy will not be sending Christmas cards to customers and friends to wish them seasonal greetings, instead we will be making a charity donation equivalent to the cost of the cards and stamps to our charity of the year.

This year that donation has been made to Bark Inn Kennels after the kennel walk on Sunday.

I know many people love a house full of cards at this time of year, but we feel that the money we would have spent, this year £100, can be more useful to a charity hence our decision.

As more and more people use social media to send Christmas messages and share videos of themselves as dancing elves, perhaps you could do the same this year or next and help a charity close to your heart instead.

C&D decide to have a "No cards" Christamas again this year

We would like to wish all of our customers and readers a Happy Christmas this year through the website, as we have done in the past, rather than sending Christmas cards as we prefer to donate the costs of the cards and postage to a local charity.

This sum of money, though relatively small to the demolition industry, makes a great contribution to the running costs of a small charity who do not have national funding opportunities.

Details of the donation and the charity will be announced just before we close for Christmas.
