Christmas is an important time for charities to raise money. In the case of this card, it is being sold by a major retailer but proceeds are going to the charities featured on the back of the card.

It does not always snow in London at Christmas, but that does not stop Christmas cards featuring such scenes as this 'Big Ben from the Embankment' (Peter Bradshaw) in aid of the R.N.L.I. (Royal National Lifeboat Institute).
