Hoiw many have you had and what is the best one you've had??

It will have to go saome to beat this one from the office of the notoriously publicity shy Duke and Duchess of Sussex. A rare glimpse into their lives and wishing us ALL a happy holiday season.

(FWIW Mrs Crod and I have had 43 holiday cards to date)

Why does their Holiday Season not extend to the New Year? That sort of implies they are separating Christmas from the New Year - which presumably is what they are trying not to do?

If I were to receive one I would send it back.
Even my relatives in America send "Christmas" cards (sponsored by the NRA*)

I've never had a "holiday card" and don't expect one tbh.

I’ve had two. Both were torn up and chucked in the bin. Either wish a Merry Christmas, or dont bother.

This gets on my tits almost as much as the rapidly growing use of ‘ gotten’ rather than got.

Anyhow, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to one and all.

I work for a US company and frequently have to annotate Americanisms back into English. Anyways, there are far worse things in the world to worry about.

Good to see the OP’s time wasn’t wasted when he posted this thread [sigh]

Nothing wrong with gotten! As Shakespeare wrote in Richard III, with remarkable relevancy to the Harry & Meg's card,

"With much ado at length have gotten leave,
To look upon my sometimes royal master’s face."

Are you equally upset by the use of forgotten?

I've had TWO so far! (If e-cards count).

A card from Dave and Alec at The Ship, listing their xmas opening hours plus an email from Gurjit with a very clever attachment. (When you click on it, it opens a new window that says 'Season's Greetings' in comic sans against a backdrop of falling snow and plays A Spaceman Came Travelling by Chris de Burgh. I've been blasting it out non-stop all morning!)
