View Full Version : CD Christmas Cards 2006

Well, it seems to have stuck around the past few years, and it's about that time.

For those unfamiliar, basically a group of CDites exchange physical addresses and send each other Christmas (or Hannukah, or Kwanzaa, or Festivus, or Have a Nice Day) cards. It was originally sort of aimed at college students, although that's not necessarily a requirement.

A quick check of USPS.com indicates that a book of 20 stamps is $7.80, and experience indicates that Canada-bound mail requires two stamps. Therefore, we'll put the absolute limit at 40 stamps, with Canadians occupying two spots. (Last year was somewhere between twenty and thirty, IIRC--worst-case scenario, you're out $16 for postage.) Signups will close at noon EST on Thanksgiving Day (with the list distributed shortly after), and ideally everyone will get their cards out within the following week, so hopefully the cards will arrive around or before December 7--use that to gauge which address you want the cards sent to, if you're on campus mail.

Obviously, I can't track you down and force you to send cards--but try to avoid being a spoilsport. And yes, this means the other folks involved will get a physical address (via PM), so check with the parents as applicable.

If you're game, reply here and send me a PM with your mailing address.

This oughta be fun. :)

Alright, just for the record, I have not forgotten about sending out the names.

Unfortunately, some people (three, to be exact) forgot about sending me their addresses. I'll give 'em the weekend to get them in.

Yeah folks.. post here what you celebrate if it's something other than Christmas for so us non-politically correct people who do celebrate the one holiday the media follows so we can buy some cards for other holidays if necessary.

Plus, I'm always up to learning another custom other than mine.

If you post what you celebrate, it'll give me a chance to become more multi-cultural by realizing that there are other holidays this time of year besides Christmas.

Which in today's globally driven economy, and business world is a plus for everyone to be a little more familiar with different cultures.

So yeah.. even if it's a PM. Do it up.

Or maybe a ChiefDelphi version: Happy Gamehintthenkickoffoliday anyone? I'm sure everyone here can agree on the last one. :D

I'm Christmas/Chanukkah, but Christmas cards are fine para mi. =]

I made sure when I bought cards that I got ones that said "holiday and new year" in them instead of "Christmas" or "Chanukkah" or any other specific holiday.

I put my cards in the train station mail box.... then a gunman held up the station (see the story here (http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/12/08/chicago.shooting.ap/index.html) ) now the news says he was mad over the death of a toilet seat invention so he shot the guy who does the patents. They are on their way, they may be a bit late though. Sorry guys!

Is that why my card's envelope was holly berry red?? :eek:
LOL J/K. Mine arrived a few days ago Kelli, along with many others.

I, on the other hand, have yet to send mine out, but I know I'm not alone on that one. *cough* Kim *cough* :p .

I umm....still havent sent my cards... But when you guys get them, you'll understand why :]

I moved partially across Connecticut this weekend, so that put a halt to my card production-ness. But I plan on sending them out tomorrow.

If you get a post card in the mail saying that my address changed, thats cause it did lol. But all my mail gets forwarded from my old address to my new one.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
