Christmas is a time for traditions, with many of us having customs we repeat each year.
But one woman has slammed a family member for doing the same "daft" thing every Christmas.
The woman considers her cousin's efforts "pointless" and has asked others for their opinions.

Writing on Mumsnet, she said: "So if you send a Christmas card to say 40 people, neighbours and colleagues etc, and three don't send them back, would you send one again next year, and then the next year and the next?
"Seems pointless to me, as they are not sending one for a reason.
"They either don't 'do' Christmas cards, or they don't particularly like you. So why keep sending one?"
She went on to explain that her cousin "keeps sending her neighbour" a card, and "constantly complaints" that she never gets one back.
She said her cousin finds it "puzzling" and wonders if she has offended the neighbour.
Her post continued: "Personally, I would send a card, and if I didn't get one back, I would send another the following year.
"But if they didn't send one to me again, then I would not send one again, unless I got one first, as they are obviously not bothered about them.
"So am I being unreasonable to think it's daft to keep sending a card when people don't send one back - ever?"
Some mums were surprised to hear people "keep track" of who sends them a card.
One said: "I don't keep track of who sends me a card and I don't send them in the hope of getting one back either, so I probably do send them every year to people who don't send them to me!"
A second said: "I honestly wonder who these people are that keep track of who replies to their Christmas cards. If you want to send cards then just send them. Why tit for tat?"
Others said you shouldn't expect cards from anyone, even if you send them.
One said: "I don't think the reason for sending a Christmas card is because you want one back - that seems beyond petty", while another added: "Surely the joy is in giving otherwise why do it?"
