Will you be sending your neighbours a Christmas card?

Are you one of those people who sends one just to keep in with them, or are you of the opinion that you have nothing to do with them all year, so why bother?
Despite going round and introducing ourselves when we moved in we have nothing to do with our neighbours (apart from the occasional "hello"). Feel slightly hypocritical but will probably relent in the end.

I never send one, I just put it through their letter box as they are next door.

Also much cheaper than a stamp.

I live in a flat and know who lives upstairs and below, but as for next door who f*cking knows.

This is often proved by people knocking on my door claiming to be my neighbours and asking for money for their electricity meter/heroin habit.

We had lived in out old house for about four years [next to the same neighbours for that whole period] when we got a card from them, 'Happy Christmas to both of you, Best Wishes Mary and Neil'. My wife was mortified that after all that time they didn't even know our names.

It didn't bother me - in fact I wanted to give one back 'Mary and Neil, happy Christmas from the both of us', but she was having none of it.

In the new house [well not new anymore] we know the neighbours much better, so yes they will get a card. [From my wife - I've not written one for years].

Of course. They feed our cats when we're on holiday. We get on well with both sides of our house.

I never send Christmas cards to anyone, an absolute waste of money.

Get on with neighbours on both sides, I'm pleased to say.

We swap Christmas cards.

We do, we live in a cul de sac and it's difficult to avoid our neighbours (even if we wanted to). I have an ex GB Olympic runner on one side, and a hyacynth bucket type on the other side, nice folks they are too

I live next to a right moany old couple of gits who are always sticking their noses into our business and keep giving the kids sweets before mealtimes.

Then again, they are my parents so I suppose I'll have to
