  • Dunno, maybe they do - and the previous owners of our house are thinking "We send a card to Aunty Doris every year as she never sends us one" !
    Maybe they've both moved and neither gets a card!

    I also kept getting an annual Christmas card for many years for the same people.  At first I forwarded to what I thought was their new address (they had moved into temporary accomodation before I bought this house & so I don't know where they then moved on to) but the cards kept arriving for the next 10 years.  I just used to open them & stick them up with my own cards, really wishing I could respond to the sender.  They finally stopped about 5 years ago.

    We're of the generation where fewer cards are received in the post. Last year, the previous owners received more cards to our house via post than we did :)

    As above, we put them up anyway - didn't want the effort going to waste.
  • Thanks to all the people who have shared their advice on this issue.  I am not keen to add deceased to the return letters as I think this suggests I have knowledge of the person.  I will update the forum if I have any reply to the emails sent to the two companies.  Thanks once again to everyone who commented.
