I heard it means the sender doesn't like the receiver and the more or size of the robins mean the more you dislike the receiver.

There is a legend about how the robin got his red breast---when he went to Bethlehem to see baby Jesus soon after His birth the stable was cold and the fire was going out. To help, Robin fanned the fire with his wings until it glowed red hot, thus scorching his breast. That is why robins appear on Christmas cards. I think this is a Scottish tale.

Considering that robins have one of the most characteristically recognized and sweet songs out of the songbirds, I would say it would be a commonly recognized bird on any card. No hidden meanings. If the Christmas card had a picture of a dead robin, that would be a different matter.
P.S. See Laceheart22's answer below mine. I think it is the best one.

I think it means
"Sorry I didn't put too much effort into the card i sent you, I just got the cheapest ones from the Charity shop."
