Christmas Card Exchange - 2020 Edition!

[Ironclad Alibi]

My cards are all set to go out. I just need to buy the four international stamps.

No surprises, except for Kit-Ginevra. It will be to them to share it or not.

PS: It's not glitter.

[Android Kaeli]

All cards have been signed and sealed, now just need the international stamps [I'll get them tommorrow before work] and all will be sent out.

Glitter? Glitter?!? I have no idea what you're talking about. I am appalled Sir, nay, AGHAST at the suggestion that any of us would do such a thing!

We're all quite innocent in this regard. Emoticons don't lie!

[Kit-Ginevra]

I shall be quite happy to share the surprise of Ironclad Alibi's specially delivered granddaughter/cheerleader/Saturday girl who I'm sure will give many hours of pleasure to me

And just out of interest, I see one of our addresses has a 1/2 in it.... How many people live in a fraction? Did they start attaching numbers and they realize they'd left out a house midway along?

[taxguykarl]

By the way, who is it that is notorious for putting piles of glitter in their cards? just asking...for um... no particular reason

FIND OUT!!
BTW, not I.

The Holiday Weapons Development Lab is working on a glitter pop-up impact sprinkler...

Usually a ½ in the address indicates a basement or other apartment separate from the main house address.

My county recently allowed accessory dwellings to built on our property. If I did that, my address would be 123 Main St., and the accessory dwelling would be 123½ Main St. Another variation would be 123A Main St., which is in another address on the list.

My cards have been mailed.

Alright, all cards are now sent out and should be on the way between now and whenever they get delivered. When I went to the post office this morning, I went in thinking I'd be in line longer than I was last year for the international stamps -- I think I waited somewhere between twenty-five and forty-five minutes last year.

This year I was in and out within ten minutes, which included being at the counter, and I even went in at the same time as I did last year.

Maybe more people are ordering stamps online this year. Like me.

Probably, which is a good idea with everything that's going on. If I ever run out of stamps, and I've still got quite a bit left, I might order some online.

I have a handful of holiday stamps from last year, so I got one book plus a sheet of international stamps (then I'll have about 6 of those left for next year...).

That or using the self-serve kiosk. It's only drawback is that each outside the US is a separate transaction i.e one can't just select three for Canada...each one separate-you have to go through the rigamoro of selecting the country each time.

Don't think I've ever seen one of those...

The grocery store has stamps, too, though I don't know if they have the international ones.

That's what she said
