The big 2012 Christmas Card Audit

This is something I've been meaning to do for a few years, but have finally got round to it. Last night Cathy and I went through our Christmas cards and worked out some fun categories. This may give us an insight into Christmas, the kind of people who send us cards, or it could just be diverting nonsense. You decide.

Hand-made / home-produced cards: 6
Cards with magnets on: 1

Of which...
Traidcraft cards: 6

Interesting note: all the Traidcraft / Oxfam cards had a religious theme

Cards that mention 'Christmas' on the front: 45
Interestingly, a lot of the religious-themed cards don't mention Christmas on the front. Just a picture of the Kings or the Stable. Not sure what that's about.
