Whether you only have a few cards to send or what seems like War and Peace to write and seal, it's all too easy to put off writing those Christmas cards until the last minute. Which, inevitably, results in a mad panic as you realise how little time you have before you risk said cards and vouchers arriving long after Christmas Day has passed.
