Card’s don’t work here Claire you are right. I have kept it up with my kids to send Xmas cards and any other card but after decades of trying we have basically given up now. It’s funny in England in my home town that is close to central London, there are about 14 card shops. They don’t exist in Italy. After 4 decades passed into the 5th. decade now I have also given up with cards. As to gifts I totally agree with you. Pointless to show off. Just get something simple and that is worth your love. It’s funny because my kids have never been keen on cards but did it for me and their aunties and uncles etc. they are Italian but British but very Italian specially in Italy. When in England they do as the English do. Both my sons are in England at the moment in 2 different areas. My youngest visiting his Aunty and my eldest on a birthday for his girl friend Jenny. They live together. Good episode Claire. Ask people to reflect and wake up as well!
Profound indeed. I value personal interactions. Their presence is a better present than their present in absence. 🤔
Yes, indeed!

Thank you! Yes - I remember all the card shops in the UK - it's an actual business!
