I am sure that some people worked very hard on this card, but it’s a bit cheesy, isn’t it? Surely leaving “Season’s Greetings” as the only text on the card would look more professional, instead of the jumble of buzz words?

I wholeheartedly disagree with the comment by Anonymous, I believe anyone (employee and otherwise) would be delighted to receive this festive ecard that really illustrates the meaning of Christmas.

This card will play a crucial role in my annual family Christmas Powerpoint presentation which this year will be themed around increasing product awareness in demographics which have been previously overlooked in response to a
challenging marketplace.
Promises to be a real treat!

I want to go to Christmas round your house, sounds like it’ll be a hoot. The Christmas card sucks by the way. Last year’s was much more festive.

I would not be delighted to receive this advertising material and would be embarrassed to send it. It has absolutely nothing to do with Christmas, it doesn’t even mention it.

In fact, its messages are the very antithesis of the Christmas message. You don’t have to be an ardent ‘believer’ to see that this unashamed advertising material is – well – nothing more than that and as such entirely inappropriate for a Christmas/seasonal greetings card.

So a Christmas ecard that doesn’t mention Christmas?
Pathetic

Christmas: A celebration of the birth of a baby who grew up to spread a message of humility, kindness, generosity and self-sacrifice. I seem to have missed how this card relates.
Disappointing – I am happy to support e-cards but won’t be sending this one.

I’m ashamed of it. No Christmas values on the card at all.
