BAH, HUMBUG!

In 2005 I decided not to send any more Christmas cards but, instead, to donate the money that I would otherwise have spent to the charity Tree Aid.

HOWEVER, since 2008 I have switched charities.

You may not be surprised to learn that I now donate my card money to the British Horse Loggers Charitable Trust to support the apprenticeship scheme and other initiatives.

You may wish to do likewise for this or other charities for any occasion; Christmas, birthday, wedding, birth or funeral.
