It's that time of year when (we hope) many Christmas cards arrive. And when I try to look at them twice - or more - because they are always more interesting than they first appear. If only because some are so howlingly mismade!
The very first card we received (yesterday) had a very nice picture of children in the snow and at first and second glance appeared to offer nothing for an eagle-eyed blogger to blog about. Then I looked at the back.
Maybe I'm naive, but on first reading I took it that the friend who bought this card led, by that purchase, to a small donation being given to Sue Ryder, the wonderful Hospice Charity. But look again. Morrisons (who have a very happy and generous relationship with SueRyder it has to be noted) have decided to give £50,000. That's it. If they sell a zillion cards or none at all that is the deal. In fact, as far as I can tell, the best thing to do is to buy a card from a SueRyder Shop as that gives the Charity extra money and they'll get the £50,000 anyway!
