It's that time of year for MPs to sign their Christmas cards. Members can be seen in the house madly signing away from now until the Commons break for Holidays. There's apparently six different designs- anything more original is charged to the member's operating budgets. When thousands of cards are sent out the cost can be quite high, so the design MPs choose for their Christmas cards can be a good indication of just how frugal they are. Out of the thousands of cards sent, only about 100-500 are actually signed by the sender. It certainly would be interesting to know who is worthy enough to get a personally signed card- one that is worth the time, and not to mention money, of the MP!!
