View Full Version : Christmas Cards Exchange

SUPER NOTE: PM ALL ADDRESSES TO RSL
SUPER NOTE2: The deadline to sign up is Sunday, November 27th at 10 PM CST.

I know some of you remember this from last year. I made a Christmas Mailing List and sent it out to all participants.

Fortunately I got cards from all 16 members on the list...though some were a few weeks past Yule time...which I forgave.

Unfortunately, I don't think I will be able to manage the list this year since I'm taking some rather tough theoretical math courses, my job is killing me, and I have tutor responsibilities. Plus I am off to Australia in a couple of weeks anyways. So I won't be participating in this either, which will draw some cheers. I think I did a decent job managing the list, so this is an obvious sign that managing the list is pretty easy.

And in all honesty, the best gifts I received last year were these cards.

The whole premise of this idea was that we can get some EoFF members "closer" together. Although none of us are rich enough to buy decent presents for everyone here (that's why we're all here), we can at least send a card out. Dollar Stores have Christmas cards for dirt cheap (20 in a box), but it's the thought that counts. I was touched by all the personal messages last year and I still have the cards, even self-made ones from KB to naked elves from ShlupQuack, I kept them. Here are some quick "rules" I made last year:

NOTE: The new manager does not have to follow these rules, these were my personal rules.

1) If you are added to the list, please send a card to everyone on the list. Domestic US postage is 37 cents, airmail out of state is 80 cents. For other countries, if you can provide postage for your own country it would be nice. Everyone deserves a card, even if it's a sheet of paper with a personal message. Last year I was pretty strict on people sending to everyone on the list (though I eventually eased back), because if you sent a card it would be nice to get one back. But I realize some international folks will have to mail quite a bit out to the US, costing them a bit of dough. If you feel you are a bit low on money, but would like to participate, please tell the manager. Try to randomize who you send to. Say there are 40 participants but you only have enough for 20...so maybe just draw a number and such. Picking who you want to send a card too isn't the Christmas spirit! You should be generous to all neighbors.
2) The manager should send the christmas list out 2 weeks prior to December 25th to ensure all people have time to get their cards to people on time. If anyone needs to have the list sooner, send a PM or email to the manager.
3) The addresses should be sent to one person and one person only. This is to avoid spam and other misuses of addresses. The manager should never give out an address to anyone NOT on the list.
4) As soon as the addresses are sent out and the cards are received, it is up to everyone who has the mailing list to delete them in a proper manner (there should be no reason to keep them after getting the cards). This is to ensure the safety and well-being of all those involved.
5) The most important rule: Have fun. If you aren't having fun doing this, you probably are in it for the wrong reason...well, maybe not...but most likely you are.
6) This really isn't a rule, but if a participant joins usually what I do is list the alias of who joined and their country to let people calculate postage. I would update this on the first post or something to let people know where they could see it without browsing through the entire thread. So let people know where you will update the list.
7) Also, no e-cards. There's still a sense of tradition that I like to keep rather than just sending an e-card. I know everyone knew that last year, but just in case.

Lastly, here is the link to last year's Mailing List: <a href="http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=52636&highlight=Christmas">
http://forums.eyesonff.com/showthread.php?t=52636&highlight=Christmas</a>

Can a mod sticky this? If it's too early, don't worry about it...but can someone manage the Christmas mailing list this year?

Just so you know, I've read they're planning on raising postage to 39 cents. I thought that might be relevant. :)

Oh, yeah... and I just though I'd mention that I may or may not be able to send to everyone depending on how many who actually signs up. I'd love to be able to send to everyone, but I'm currently a bit low on money. Oh, well... we'll see. I've still got almost 2 months to go.

I would also be more than happy to take over this list for you, Dingo, but I don't think I can fight rsl for it. :)

Dingo Jellybean
11-03-2005, 02:14 AM
Thanks Leeza, but he asked first. :) I was just going to give up the spot to the next person.

So RSL will be the manager next year too, if he decides to keep the spot. :)

RSL
11-03-2005, 02:34 AM
Yeah, so anyone feel free to PM me your mailing address if you want to participate.

But I suppose I'll join in.

I bought like 30 Spanish Christmas cards at the dollar store and spent like $5 on postage. It's not a big expense.

Well. Now nothing will stop me from joining.

Mostly because I already sent my PM, but now I can feel good about it.

DJ, you should ammend rule #1 to include e-cards. If someone can't afford to send cards to everyone they can at least send an e-card.

Thooough, I could probably try to send a few cards, so long as I don't get any sent, due to my parents and all. I dunno, I'll think about it.

I'll do it! BUT, if any of you are very late with cards, don't send any to me after January 6th, as I won't be here and your cards will go do NO ONE.

RSL
11-03-2005, 11:33 PM
If someone wants to join in but can only send a few, that's fine. Just state how many you want to send, and I'll only give you that many addresses. And then I'll give only those people your address.

It's looking like we might have a lot more of people participating than last year, so it could get time consuming and a little spendy.

escobert
11-03-2005, 11:35 PM
Yeah seems lie a lot of people want to do it this year.

I want to do it this year but, I'm not exactly sure how. I've never mailed anything in my life.

Leeza
11-04-2005, 02:57 AM
You sign a card, address the envelope and put a stamp on it. The post office will advise you of the cost of mailing within the States, Canada or International. Then you drop it into a mailbox. :cat:

I didn't get confetti from you. I got a bug! It's sitting on my fridge with my octupus.

Calliope said that Christmas cards from Amanda are filled with love and controversy and I said mine (from you) was filled with paper confetti...and a cool cat. :cat:

I'll do this again, and this year I'm not late. I don't think I'll be able to hand-make cards out of construction paper and metallic gelpens this year, but I'll se what I can do.


Mine was filled with paper confetti.Which stuck to my uniform all day and I got some pretty strange looks from lots of people :)


DJ, you should ammend rule #1 to include e-cards. If someone can't afford to send cards to everyone they can at least send an e-card.What if they don't have the internet? :(

RSL
11-07-2005, 02:06 AM
Just a reminder, anyone who wants to join this has to PM their address to me.

Leeza
11-07-2005, 02:23 AM
rsl, I think that the two week part is a little late though because at our post office Christmas cut-off is usually around December 9th. Two weeks would be December 12th. I would really appreciate having the addresses the week before the 12th because addressing, etc still takes time and I would rather have them out sooner rather than later.

fire_of_avalon
11-07-2005, 03:11 AM
I agree with Leeza. I think the cutoff date should be a bit sooner, because the regulars around here are getting a huge headstart as it is. If it were up to me, I'd have them out just after Thanksgiving, but I tend to jump the gun sometimes :)

RSL
11-07-2005, 03:42 AM
Oh yeah that's no problem. I'll get the list out sooner.

There are people in this thread who have expressed interest but have not PMed. Of course there still is plenty of time.

I'd love to join in. Gotta check with the parentals, but it shouldn't be a problem. As I say, if ebay has my address, then whats a few more people who I may or may not know on the Internet?

'Get well Soon' 'It's a boy!' 'Congratulations' 'You will be missed' 'I love you'
'How about the weather'

You're really not considering peoples life situations here.

Anychance we could get just a user name list of everyone who has PMed you that way we can get started on writing the cards themselves then get the addresses later?

I like draw-ring in my cards so that makes it easier for me. >_>

Okay, I'm setting a deadline of Sunday, November 27th at 10 PM CST. If you wish to join in on this, you are running out of time!

There are quite a few people who have expressed interest in this thread but have never PMed. If you are still interested, time to get crackin!

I will send the PM out Sunday night. This will give people nearly a month, which should be plenty of time. Right now the list hasn't changed at all from what I posted earlier, just so you know.

Thanks! :) But this year I have found a beautiful site in Internet which sells cards and I bought there almost all my cards! :) Only a very small part is handmade, as these cards on the site are much better than mines!
Your card is on its way Leeza, I hope you will like it this year too and you will receive it soon! :)

No, I did, but I asked to swap with maximum 15 persons, so I received less addresses than all the group and I was not added in the first list RSL published in the forum, so if someone wanted to write his/her cards before he/she didn't risk to write a lost card!

yay! RSL is the first American to receive my card! ^_^, i wont know if I got any until Saturday, but at the rate things are going I think Im safe, though I may have gotten Baloki'sby now.

I think I'm only mailing some people on this list and some people off the official list, but I'll try to send my card by this weekend or the weekend after. :)

Leeza
12-08-2005, 04:31 PM
The idea for this Christmas Card Exchange is to send cards to <i>everyone</i> that's on its' list, Rye. :)

Most of mine will be out this morning (official list and unofficial list of whoever I think is still at the address that I have for them), but I ran out of US stamps so I'll have to mail those after work when I can go buy more stamps. :)

RSL
12-08-2005, 05:43 PM
Fresno/Strider informed me that he won't be sending out any cards. I was supposed to PM this to you all but it's too much work. A lot of you have already sent out cards, but those who haven't don't have to send one to Strider if they don't want to. I plan on sending him one still myself.

I can't do that though, since I'm really not even allowed to mail people, so I really just will mail them seperate of the CCE, but some people who I'm mailing fall into part of the CCE.

Leeza
12-08-2005, 09:41 PM
I see. You're right, Rye. Your name isn't on the list and I don't know how I missed that considering I was looking at it just before my post. :)

Tasura
12-09-2005, 07:40 AM
I did get Baloki's card, my mother informed me of that this morning. And all my cards went out over a week ago, so by Monday everyone should get them, if not Im going to the post office >=(

Shlup
12-09-2005, 07:45 AM
I got yours today, Tasura. It was very classy. xD

It might've arrived a few days ago, but I don't check my mail often.

12-09-2005, 03:56 PM
I wouldn't have considered this, but I received a Christmas card today and my heart kinda melted because it was so fucking adorable. Now I feel like wasting money on cards and stamps for all you people. :(

Strider
12-09-2005, 09:56 PM
I finally found a few minutes to make my cards, so I'll be sending them out either this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Probably tomorrow morning. So be prepared. :D

EDIT:

Just kidding about not making any, I guess. Heh.

I received a beautiful card from Rusty today. Thank you. :) I also recieved a card from Baloki and I don't know if you can still see the forums, Baloki, but those penguins are so cute! And thank you so much for the cat. It looks almost exactly like my cat Kisa, who has now gone to Kitty Heaven. :cat:

Ultima Shadow
12-10-2005, 01:43 PM
Still only got Tasura's so far. Since I live in Sweden, and I sent mine only a few days ago, it will probably take atleast a week or so before mine arrives as well. Oh well... :greenie:

With the Christmas mail around here I would guess mine will take about two weeks to the US. No idea how long to the other countries.

BTW: If the return address is different from the one I gave out it because I am most likely put my parent's place for the return address, considering that is the only permnament address I have at the moment.

Everyone is writing all this cool stuff in their cards and I'm feeling guilty for sending mine out with barely any. My excuse is that I had over 70 cards to get out so I just plain old had no time (except for RSL :)). I do appreciate everyone's personal touches though. You're all awesome. :)
