We know you are divided; last year's referendum on whether to bother with continuing the Goodson Family Christmas card tradition now that the kids won't dress up, was a keenly fought debate.
Whether the promise of an extra £38.75 to the NHS, if we didn't print the cards, swung some of the voters hearts and minds, it's difficult to say. The vote, 52% to 48% in favour of discontinuing the card is a split outcome.
We will disappoint half of those remaining on our Christmas Card list, and yet we must honour democracy and the 'will of the people'. Therefore we need to find a way to pass Christmas good wishes on to people who do not want a 'new' Goodson Family Christmas Card for 2018, and yet also delight people, who remember the glory of Goodson Family Christmas Cards past...
Fear not, we have a deal that will keep nobody happy! We will produce a hastily knocked together compilation card, featuring images from Christmas Cards past, (see image) thus providing some festive good wishes from the past, and yet still honouring democracy and the referendum result.
Remember, if you do not accept this card as sufficient festive Christmas good wishes, then this could trigger a General Election, a People's vote, or future family Christmas cards featuring Jacob Rees-Mogg... and his children!
