Christmas Card Exchange 2017 Edition: Sign-ups are CLOSED!

I never watched the show Dark Shadows but I read the books as a kid! I also love all the Star Trek shows, but not the new movies, it's not the same.

I have my cards ready to mail except for the one to the UK which still needs postage. Almost there!

Okay, I say this every year, but I don't even touch cards until after Thanksgiving. I think I know where they are, at least.

I might get stamps this week, though. Last year when I got them they had no international stamps left and I had to use two mismatched non-holiday stamps on each of the internationals, and, well, that makes me sad.

I just got a thing from Heifer Project in the mail today and it included address labels featuring some cute farm animals in Christmas sweaters (well, the baby chicks are wearing Santa hats). So I thought, "perfect!" Except there are only 17.

I wanted to have these ready to go soon. I may not be able to get the postage done completely this week, but once I do they're going out! I had a bunch of old xmas cards that I got rid of 2 years ago, so I got a set of brand new ones. I ordered them and the stamps online, so easy.

I had the books as well. One of the few times I'm sorry I got rid of them.

I'll be getting my cards out on the weekend. Just finished a 12-hour workday and I'm toast. In fact ... I just woke up. And I'm sitting at my desk.

Time to call it a night.

There's room for Fallout. Any particular one? Or just the franchise in general? There's some really cute medallions. Alas, the full size Pip Boy is probably not gonna happen, though.

I have played Fallout 3 and New Vegas, and am in the midst of 4. Also I am partial to Pip Girl.

Another post mentioned Terry Patchett's books. I love the movies based on those, especially the Hogfather at this time of the year.

As for your ultimate selection, surprise me. I love surprises.

No, the surprise is when you survive eating anything from Dibbler's cart. Not a nice surprise, either, by all accounts.

Well, my printer spent a few days working hard (like that's any different from the usual routine...it's very nearly blaspheme to let it sit idle for as much as an hour) so now I'm just waiting to get the cards. Then I get to take a pile of envelopes down to the post office and keep the nice mail lady busy for a bit. Me and half the other people in town...

An even bigger surprise is that CMOT Dibble is still finding people who will buy his sossidges.

And that quite a large number of them are repeat customers.
