Asked already but got no answers!
Ok so basically what it is is that my grandparents gave me and my bro a multipack Christmas cared each that I'm near certain we got a card from the same pack last year but they gave 2 of my cousins a 'To My Special Grandson/Granddaughter'. I'm not sure what they gave my other 4 cousins. Is it ok for me to be pi*sed off and should I say something next time I see them.
Don't say it's the thought that counts because I simply think that there was no thought in the cards we got.

They bought the 2 cousins separate single cards that cost like more than the price of a mulitpack of cards. They only have 8 grandkids (me and my bro and then the other 6 from 2 families, 2 in one and 4 in the other). So our family isn't exactly massive.

My grandparents aren't exactly poor. And they spent Christmas with their daughter, St Stephens Day with us and New Years Eve will be spent with their son.
Oh and my granda asked could they come to us for Christmas and we were like sure but then my granny went and asked her daughter could they go there instead.

It does sound unfair, but maybe they bought the 'special' cards for your cousins and meant to buy special cards for the other grandchildren but either forgot or ran out of time. It might be that they bought one of those boxed sets of cards and it happened to have two 'special' grandchild cards in it and they just randomly wrote them out.
Don't feel bad about it. Try not to dwell on it.

My dear, you have just asked a question about studying, which I have just answered. Surely you have other things that Christmas cards to be worried about?

grandparents live on pensions, pensions aren't enough to pay bills, for grandparents to give at Christmas they have to go without something like food or heating, in our family people of a pensionable age are treated the same as children, they receive but don't give, i would hate for my grand parents to go without food or heating just so i could receive a gift that i didn't really need as much as they need to eat or keep warm

Hi at the end of the day its only a card I can imagine how you feel, and I feel bad as I know we just gave cards out of a pack to our grandparents when they had loads of cards on the mantle piece saying to a wonderful grandma etc, and when I looked I felt bad, its not because we didnt think of it, it was because we were so busy with presents and things, we just wrote ones out of the box, but at least we got presents for them as well, which is better than just a card that gets put to one side after xmas has gone.
If you got a present I wouldnt even worry about a card to be honest, Do you get your grandparents a card saying to a special grandad or grandma or nana, if not then this could be the case as the other grandchildren get them with to grandma on etc, and you dont so you get the same back.
But at the end of the day you still got a card and there are worse things in the world to feel upset about other than a little card, to be honest it irritates me when people get upset about when cards dont have certain sayings in. If you healthy and happy what the hell does a card matter.

Think about it like this; maybe they started writing their Christmas cards and ran out when they got to your cousins. They thought of you and your brother first and when they ran out of cards had to go and buy a couple more.
Does that make you feel better? Don't look too far into it, there's probably a simple explanation, you just haven't seen it.

No you shouldn't when people buy multi-pack cards, they don't care about the message inside like "my dearest" or "my special" they're thinking about saving money by buying the cards in bulk and you sound like you have a big family so i don't blame them, saying something to them will cause unnecessary aggravation.

That was thoughtless of them and I know I would feel a little annoyed but please don't read too much into it. It could just be something silly like they bought some special cards in the sale last year for 50p, but there only were 2. They might not think you really care about the card as so many people just look at them and then they get recycled.
Rise above it!
