CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

After a year of lapse, Michelle Celio has passed the CD Christmas Card torch onto me. Which means that it's time to sign up for CD Christmas Cards!


A book of stamps is currently: $8.80 (up 40 cents form two years ago)

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 in past years, to 40 sign-ups, so this way no one is spending more than $18 in stamps (unless you're Canadian, which it looks to be around $38 CAD if all sign ups are to America)

The deadline is going to be Friday, December 3, 2010. This means that you must have PM'd me your address before 11:59pm on 12/3. I will send out a reminder PM on 12/1 if you have signed up but have not sent me your address, but it will make both of our lives easier if you just send it as soon as you sign up.

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 time check out 2008 thread. ( and also 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004)

Usually Christmas cards, but if you can type out 40 letters... =P

At the deadline listed in the original post, you will receive a PM with a list of addresses.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Correct. Send some kind of greeting, whether it be a card or a letter or a carrier pigeon (I would personally love to get a carrier pigeon with a message for Christmas, but not all of us can afford that many pigeons) or something of your choice. I sent out "fortune fish" with my cards two years ago because I had a million of them, and a lot of people seemed to like them.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Don't worry :) You will certainly get one! (Kara wouldn't let me live it down if I didn't ;))

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Just a reminder that there is a little more than week left to sign up! There are still 25 spots left, so please spread the word!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I would like to sign-up. But, will we be told who is celebrating which holiday so that we know what to send? I'm sure no one would be offended if they got a card for a different holiday/religion but it still seems proper to know what to send to who.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Well...if anyone wants to let me know if they're celebrating something other than Christmas (which is usually the standard), you could PM me and I can add something under your address. I can't guarantee that you'll get a card for your preferred holiday, though.

(In 2008, I believe that just sent out "happy holidays" cards. Always a safe bet.)

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

It seems that those who participate in sending cards, find ways to convey holiday wishes without being offensive to anyone. Take a chance - don't let the concern that you might offend someone stop you from enjoying this opportunity or try to put too many restrictions on it.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

If you think you may be offended then please stay off of the list :)

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I'm just not sure how sensitive people are to being wished a Merry Christmas. I wasn't going to purposely offend anyone.
I'm staying on the list.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Judging by the name of the subject, I don't think anyone signing up should be offended by Christmas cards, even if they don't celebrate Christmas. Now if this were changed to the "CD Holiday Cards" next year, then you'd have a case... ;)

But for the most part, you can assume everyone will be OK with Christmas cards.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Just 4 more days to sign up to send and receive cards!

For those who have signed up: Thank you! PLEASE PM me your address if you haven't already! Also, don't forget to go out and get your stamps!

For those who have been considering signing up, but has been a little on the line about it: I strongly suggest doing this. Sending out the cards is not time-consuming unless you make it so. $8.80 and an hour or two of your time is definitely worth the joy you will feel when you see the first card in your mailbox.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Today is the LAST day to sign up for cards! I forgot to send out a reminder PM yesterday to the few who have not sent in their addresses, so I just did that a few minutes ago. Hopefully I'll get those by the end of the night.

If you have friends who might be interested, please spread the word and get them to post tonight!

Edit: Okay, maybe I got my dates mixed up. Today is the second to last day, but you get the implied urgency and begging.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I got my cards! :D I'm super excited!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Just to let everyone know, they might get a surprise in our cards .....


But no promises. . . :rolleyes:

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

A game hint?

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Is his name "Dave"? :rolleyes:

Also, sign-up is done. I'll be PMing the addresses out either tonight or tomorrow morning.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Dave works in mysterious ways...

Back on-topic, I'll be purchasing my cards on Tuesday and will probably send them out shortly after.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

No hints, tricks, or gimmicks. Just a joyful surprise for everyone. But like I said, no promises!! I do not know if our team will be able to put it together fast enough. ;)

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I just finished PMing everybody the addresses. If you didn't get a PM or if anything is wrong, please let me know!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Thanks for putting this together Kara!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Thank you very much Kara! I can't wait to see all of the cards! :)

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Hope everyone likes the little gift I will provide in the cards!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Awesome! I have all the envelopes addressed, but now, to write the cards! :D

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I got mine in the mail yesterday. Hope you enjoy the byproducts of my blood, sweat, and tears (two of those literal, one metaphorical). :D

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Cards are done and in the envelopes. Stamps on the way home from theater and in the mail they go.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

All of my cards are written up!!!! :D Getting the stamps today on the way to work (yay for there being a post office on the way!) and then mailing them out tomorrow! (I have a few other FIRSTers that I am sending cards to that didn't actually sign up, but that I still did cards for.)

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Eh heh...so a few Facebook friends have reported that those envelopes have arrived at their destinations in rather rough shape. If yours arrived in poor shape, I'm sorry!

My inner engineer would love to figure out the root cause of this problem, and 21 cards going all over the country should be a good set of data. I mailed all of these in one batch from a local post office, where I paid the First Class Nonmachineable rate (as its contents couldn't flow through standard machinery). Only one of these was stamped Do Not Bend in my presence by the clerk, who promised to stamp the others later. (This same clerk was none too thrilled to have to manually print postage for 21 letters, as the US Postal Service apparently doesn't make a 64-cent stamp.)

If yours arrived rough, would you mind snapping a picture and emailing it to me? My email address is william@[My CD username]Industries.com.

Thanks!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I haven't gotten yours yet, Billfred, but I'll be sure to report in when I do!

I did get cards from Alex D. and Kelli T. today, though! It was a great way to perk me up :D Thank you!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Drop my cards in the mail tonight. Received cards from Kelli T. and Billfred.

Billfred's fought the USPS and lost... photographic evidence is on it's way.


Somebody has to take a pick of what actually arrived from Billfred for the rest of us to see ;>

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

After making sure Kara's went through all right, I sent out the rest of them today!
Expect them in a few days! (depending on your location :cool: )

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I haven't gotten anything yet, but that's probably because Michigan has essentially been shut down the past two days. Whoo ice!

I finished my cards just now! All addressed and stamped! I'll drop them off at the mailbox tomorrow, so hopefully everyone gets them by the end of the week! This was a fun project! Thanks, Kara!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Michigan is completely shut down unless you live just north of Detroit <mumblemumblenosnowdaysmumblemumble>. Hopefully everything will get back to normal over the next few days! I know that the postal workers are still delivering, but I imagine that transportation from one office to the next is going painfully slowly.

I was going to finish mine tonight and get them sent out tomorrow, but I apparently have no envelopes o.O I'll be sending mine off Thursday morning on my way to school.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I could not find out what this one battered letter was that came in the mail yesterday. Just today I was talking with a few kids on our team about the Christmas cards. Yours was quite destroyed with a little card that said happy Festivus. Haha.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I have yet to get any.

Mine will be going out tomorrow! It also inclues a nice little gift. Enjoy and Merry Christmas.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Sounds like the state that it arrived in here. Still, it was neat getting a little Festivus card, and the card itself is still intact, so I'll be going about improvising myself a little pole now :D

I've got my cards, but I need stamps yet, so I might not have them out until Saturday, what with having to deal with final exams the next couple days, but we'll see. I might end up snowed into my house too, in which case it might be a little later, but hopefully it doesn't come to that

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Mine are all stamped and ready to go. I'll drop them off on the way to school today. It sounds like almost everyone will have them sent by the end of the week, so hopefully all of them will be received before next weekend!

I'm still waiting and eager to see Billfred's...item. I told my mom that if a battered letter arrives, it's for me, and she shouldn't worry about it. Hopefully it will make it to my mailbox...

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I received yours Billfred.... and it looks like they just ripped open the envelope. This isn't the first I've had issues getting some in the mail though. I took pictures though and will send them your way. The only stamp visible on mine is 'non-machinable' (very faintly) on front, twice. It made me most sad. The only thing left in the envelope was the tiny 'Happy Festivus' card.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

My Billfred card envelope was ripped in half, had my address, a Columbia, SC stamp on it, and a stamp from the local post office saying it was received in its current condition. It also said 'non-machineable' on it. I'll get a pic out tonight if I can remember to. No card inside, but now Bill has me quite attentively wondering what it was inside that clawed its way out?

My cards should go out tomorrow morning.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Hmmm, Billfred is pretty clever...

Could he be preparing a damaged mail picture collage in the shape of a Christmas tree for all of us? And the Happy Festivus cards are to be used as ornaments? Maybe that truly is the gift he will be giving us. ;)

Billfred = genius

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I received Billfred's card/envelope a few days ago. Everything made it except for a few tears in the envelope which could have allowed the pole to escape. Happily, it didn't. Here is a photo of my Festivus pole. I like it because it is totally nerdy and because it is small. (It may end up with one of my Nativity sets. :))

Thank you, Billfred! I've also received a card from Kelli. Mine should be going out by the weekend.

Jane

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Here is a story for you all!

So this destroyed, miniature letter with an unreadable name, and a barley readable Happy Festivus on it came in the mail. I had no idea who it was from (because I could not read the name). So I looked up the address and an apartment near the university of SC came up. It was also the home to a tattoo parlor, whose number was on Google. I called the parlor and asked if they had sent a letter, and they said it was probably the college kids upstairs (Which I assumed prior to calling them). I thought, who would send me a battered letter like this in the mail from USC? I then had a brain blast and thought, it must be someone from the CD Christmas card list! Sure enough, it was!

Thank you very much, Billfred, for the most interesting Holiday card I have ever received! :D

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Did anyone get mine yet? I sent them out on Friday afternoon. One of my friends that lives in my area said he got his already, so I was hoping some other people got theirs toooo. Hopefully tomorrow or Tuesday at the latest.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

As far as I know, I've only gotten Billfred's and Kelli Treff's cards. Oh, and I think Jane's as well. (Or maybe I'm imagining things.) But since I'm visiting family, it will be nice to come home to a bunch of cards! ^_^

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I got yours! It was so spiffy. Definitely one of my favorites so far.

I've gotten cards from Candace, Mike (I assume it's his - I can make out an "M" and a "T" and "1529" of the signature), Vic, Carolyn, Dinsmoor, Kelli Treff, and Rsisk.

Still no sign of Billfred's yet. If I don't get it by the end of the week, I'll assume that it got lost in the mail or that the address became unreadable ;P

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Zero cards for me so far. Mine are going out tonight.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I worked on my cards most of the night and will mail them today. Thank you to everyone who is participating; I always enjoy this exchange.

Jane

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I am finishing mine while at work tonight and should have them out tomorrow!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Yours got returned to me, marked "VACANT - UNABLE TO FORWARD" on a yellow USPS label like they use when mail does get forwarded.

Kelli's also got returned to me, but the return to sender stamp on the envelope doesn't have one of the half-dozen reasons checked. (And the stamp job is so poor that I couldn't decipher any of the reasons either way.) Both addresses jive with what went out on the list.

If you can't be a shining example, you have to be a horrible warning. :)

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Stupid post office.

The address I gave is where I am moving too and it's not vacant!

Oh well.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I've been living in the same place for 2 years and yet to manage to get a single piece of mail I want.... Somehow they still manage to find me when they need to empty their pack of junk mail though. Hope sorting your issue out works better then sorting mine has.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

If an IndySam card gets returned then we should have a meetup at CMP and all give our cards to him there. Win Win Win. We all go to CMP, we get to meet each other, and IndySam gets a special delivery

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Hahaha and I thought I was the only one that watches that. Unless you'r talking about something else...

Anyway, wish I saw this before, it sounds like fun. Ill be doing it next year!


So who's doing the feats of...darnit what was it??

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

And if not, we should all send IndySam's cards with someone going to CMP so he still gets the special delivery.

We would have loved to have you! I'm starting to think that next year, this shouldn't be posted in Chit-Chat. We probably missed out on a few people because they've eliminated the Chit-Chat forum from their Recent Activity feed in the portal. Any opinions?

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

We could always ask the CD guys to post it on the front page with all of the main news, just like where The New Cool book is posted now. I am sure they would be more than willing to post it there!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

This is just an .02...
I would be very careful about moving it out of Chit-Chat.

If you are considering moving it into 'General', it would be my suggestion to write Mr. Martus or Brandon a private message and ask their opinion, Kara. It definitely could not be called Christmas Cards, I don't think.

Just a thought.

This has been fun this year. I'm enjoying all of the great cards.

I'm glad you got mine! :-D

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I got an empty envelope, torn diagonally missing top-left to bottom-middle, from "nderchickens"
It was in a nice package from the USPS telling me how they're sorry and they value me as a customer and citizen.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I've put mine in the mail. The post office was mayhem with a lot of grumpy people frowning. I paid no attention and continued humming Rudolph. Tomorrow I have to go back and I'm going to wear my antlers. Please feel free to add duct tape to mine if anything falls off. Speaking of tape, did anyone else notice the masking tape on Kara's envelope? That made me laugh.

Hello everyone!

Due to DVD burning complications and limited time, we decided to just upload our, "Surprise," to youtube. I hope you all enjoy our tone-deaf singing!

Happy holidays, and good luck in the 2011 season!

Don't believe them :rolleyes:

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I wanted to seal the envelopes with stickers like I did in 2008...but alas, I didn't have enough fun stickers for this year. I also couldn't find my scotch tape at the time ;) I'm glad you liked the masking tape!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

One of mine came in with a nice little tear half-way from the top-right corner to the middle. And they wonder why people prefer electronic communication a majority of the year... :rolleyes:

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Absolutely! A lot of planning went into this, believe it or not. We had about 12 fake Christmas presents, hats, bows, you name it Christmas. But, luckily, it only took about 4 takes total, including that kid, Robbie, singing. :p

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I've received many of my holiday and Christmas cards.
Thank you, one and all. Scott's and Chris's arrived a little soggy - we're having a thunderstorm on Christmas Eve. :)

Thank you again,
Jane

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Hi ya'll,

I am so MIA this year from Chief Delphi that I can kick myself over and over!
Sorry I missed the CD Xmas Card, it was one of my favorite things to do.

Merry Christmas & Happy 2011 to you all!

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

My cards will be going out late, as usual. I'll just scratch out "Christmas" and write-in "New Year". =P

Kara, just wanted to say that I got your card in another envelope similar to Billfred's, except this one was actually an envelope instead of a plastic bag, with a good sized chunk of your envelope missing. The card's still perfectly intact, I just wanted to point out that this is now two that I've now received with the words "DEAR VALUED POSTAL CUSTOMER" written on the back

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I wonder if there's a way to extend the FedEx donation... ;)

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

Billfred,

Have you had any cards come back to you?

I haven't received yours yet.

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I'm super excited. I talked to my mom yesterday and she said I had a huge stack of cards from you guys! It's going to be like Christmas all over again! :D

Re: CD Christmas Cards 2010
 

I haven't received his in any form yet, either :(

That's very strange. I haven't heard that from anyone else (if that were to happen, I'd have expected it to be to Michelle - hers got coated in the glob of glitter glue that remained on my desk). I don't know how to go about complaining to the postal service, but you get another in that state, you might want to consider it...
