View Full Version : CD Christmas Cards 2008

It's that time a year again, to sign up for CD Christmas Cards


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.


A book of stamps is currently: 8.40 (up 20 cents form last year)

Since it takes two stamps to mail to Canada, Canadians please make sure to sign up for 2 spots.

We'll limit this one as the same as last year to 40 sign ups, so this way no one is spending more than $17 in stamps (unless you're Canadian, which it looks to be around $38 CAD if all sign ups are to America..)

Dead line is going to be November 30th (End of Hurricane Season!!)

Obviously, we 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.


So, if you're in for this year, add your name to the list and PM me your address (be sure to include special instructions if you're a college student who will be leaving campus and you want your cards to be sent to a different address after certain date)

To see who was in on the fun last year, check out last year's thread.

I only have about 6 cards made so far (though I started yesterday, so I think I'm doing pretty good), but I still have to think about what I'm going to write on the inside...

They'll be out next week :)

Agreed, I can't tell you the last time I got a REAL letter that wasn't a credit card application or a bill. (Granted since my address is unlisted 6 months out of the year I sometimes don't even get those which can be BAD)

Mine went out Tuesday, the lady at the post office sort of looked at Libby and myself with a "You're running a little bit late" expression. I felt bad as we sat there and adhered 25 stamps on to the envelopes.

Mine went out late as well, but it is so cool to receive the cards (they're like little presents) that I don't think the lateness matters at this point. Receiving them is what matters.

Yes! I've been getting at least one every day since before Christmas, and they really cheer me up, even though they're late ^_^ And you guys have also succeeded in getting me super-psyched for Kickoff...err, more psyched and spastic than I already am.
