    last year in work, I had a poster from macmillian we all wrote on that our wishes for the year etc then popped the money we would have spent in a box then I sent the money off to macmillian we raised about £30, so everyone gave but we all sent xmas wishes around.

    I've got quite a bit of family scattered about, so I send them a card from Vista print with a recent family photo printed on, and the message from us is printed inside, so that way they can keep the pic ;)

    All the ones I receive get made into gift tags for the next year, and the backs get recycled.
