Counting the aces in pack of cards

Christmas cards are becoming a surprisingly tricky issue for law firms.

Charity cards are now de rigueur, although there is an increasing trend of firms sending out cards to say that they, erm, are not sending out cards and giving the money to charity instead.

Of the proper cards we received, our favourites are: (top left clockwise): most unChristmassy card- City firm Paisner & Co; prettiest card - Birmingham firm Wragge & Co; most self-serving card - Lovells (the gold stars denote where each of its offices are), and most amusing card - Raworths of Harrogate.
