Christmas Cards @ ChiefDelphi?

[Amanda Morrison]

Hey guys.

I was thinking... you know, as a college student, it's a small triumph to receive mail. Even if it's junk mail... to know something is in your mailbox, for YOU, is a lot of fun!

That, and obviously, everyone likes getting a letter or two. I still have to buy my Christmas cards for this season... would anyone be interested in a Christmas card trade? (I realize maybe everyone is not of the same religion, so maybe I should say 'Holiday Card Trade'...)

Let's say I collected addresses from the first 25-30 people that PMed me, and made a big list, and sent it to the people on that list. Then we could all exchange cards. What do you think? Another webcommunity I am on is doing this, and I'm excited.

Thoughts/comments?

Good Idea. I'm in!

[Katie Reynolds]

Good idea!

I'm up for it!

[Aaron Lussier]

Sounds Fun! Count me in.

[Brandon Martus]

I'm down.

[Billfred]

Sure.

[MissInformation]

You already have an up for it and a down, so I guess I'll have to be sideways...

If there are a lot of college students participating, and they use their college addresses, you will have to send the list out soon so that people can get started right away... and the cards can get there before winter break!

Gregory and I are planning on doing our first "Holiday" cards together this year. Count us in, sounds like a great idea.

It's a really nice idea but I see it as highly inefficient. It is a card exchanged for a card; but these cards are exchanged over hundreds if not thousands of miles. Just the cost in fuel for planes and trucks to deliver these cards is enourmous, not to mention the salaries for the people driving these trucks and flying these planes. If everybody just kept their money and bought themselves cards, everyone would avoid the cost of postage, the post office would avoid the cost of fuel and employees, and everyone would still have a card.

This is a prime example of why more people should practice the "selfish Christmas" See, it is just a big swapping party anyhow, so if everyone just bought something for themselves, they would all end up with exactly what they wanted.

Hey, Ebeneezer, don't be alarmed when three ghosts visit you within the next few weeks.



I am in for some cards.

Hmm ... somehow I think it would be more fun to get a few Christmas cards from other people instead of writing out "Merry Christmas, Kaite!" to myself a dozen times.
