What do you fancy for your birthday @Dovefromabove?Ā I know quite a few folk with 'C'mas approaching' birthdays. Bad timing by the parents I say....Ā I have the same problem with mt nephews - they have February birthdays so the shops are full of Valentine cardsĀ Ā I'm going to stop cards - it's an outdated concept. Nothing to do with the price of stamps you understand....
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
My OH's birthday is 1st December,Ā his brother's on the 4th, auntie and SIL on 17th, and his dad's birthday is Christmas Day. I always buy their cards in September because as @KT53 says, it's impossible to get a good selection after that. In the supermarket yesterday they had loads of Halloween stuff reduced to clear. A good opportunity to save money for next year perhaps......
Tried that ... used to give blackberry shoots to my goats that were due to kid. Tried everything ... double digging the new veg patch Ā ... even a very bumpy level crossing ... someone said he had an over inflated sense of his importance and had decided to arrive on Christmas Day ... it took two hospitals and an ambulance ride to get him to make anĀ appearance šĀ

The problem is you come out of winter and women shed three layers of clothing and finally shave their legs after months of looking like a wookie and everyone's blood gets up because spring is in the air. Or blokes bought them some good chocolate for easter to make up for forgetting Valentine's day and they finally forgave him a bit. The trick is to stay in the bad books all year round. Much cheaper in the long run.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
Or a leftover bunch from a florist, with a card addressed to someone else lurking in the folds of the wrapping paper. That'll do it too. Then there's the birthday card chosen with such love and care, that he even remembered to cross out 'son' on the front.

If it's really that bad - you can always nip up to the local garage for a bunch of sad carnations...that always works well....
