It doesn't make you a scum bag.
My wife asks me who specifically I want to give a card to outside of the family. The list is short. 2 friends and the two ladies I work with. The other guy here and I have an unspoken of agreement not to partake in that shit. I give the two ladies cards because I know they are going to get me like gift certificates to amazon or something so it's just a good idea to give them a little card with my kid's picture in it (cause they like that) and I'm cheap.
Religious cards are reserved for people I absolutely know are overly religious and I don't buy them. They come in the mail courtesy of the Franciscan Friars asking for a donation. I live in what used to be my grandmother's house before she passed away so I get all kinds of fun stuff like that that is sent to her.
Normally any card that I personally write in is blank to begin with and I write something like merry christmas or maybe a personal message too if it's one of my two friends.
Other than that my wife takes care of all that.
*and back on the subject of in the workplace. I honestly thought for a second should I give a card to the guy here despite the fact that we don't give each other cards. Then I said if he gets pissed off then so be it. No card for him.
I guess I'm lucky there are only 4 people in my office.
