CD Christmas Cards 2010

[JesseK]

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.

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

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.

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!

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.

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! ^_^

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

[IndySam]

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

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.

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.

Stupid post office.

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

Oh well.

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.

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
