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

[Kit-Ginevra]

Dear people...they got the charmless nerk...in the most hilarious way.There had been mail not turning up or turning up in odd places.Then our little tea leaf decided to half inch a pile of mail and dump it over a bridge into a river...not realizing that under the bridge was a fisherman who was rather startled to find a rain of letters descending on him ...

I got tigger's not long ago as well!

Got Tigger's card last week as well . . . just now found it in a stack of unopened mail.

I got tigger's card yesterday, too.

[telecom_goddess]

I got a Tiger222!

Me too I thought they were all done already!

[tigger222]

I'm starting to. I had really bad combo of a cold , the flu, and a bacterial infection for 2 and a half months . I've gotten over that but all the coughing caused a sprain in my side that will take another few months to heal.

[Ironclad Alibi]

I too received a lovely card from Tigger222.

I hope Tigger222 is still feeling better.

Sorry I've not been keeping up much lately. Too much going on. Feel free to keep posting about any stragglers. I'm feeling very lenient this year.

I finally was able to get my cards mailed yesterday. I'm sorry it took so long I've been very sick.

I'll be watching my mail...I hope you are feeling better!

I have received some of the cards back now (happy smiley return address!). Those that were in good condition will be resent. Except the cheese that I sent. That needless to say was not happy after having been who knows where for nearly 2 months

Meanwhile,another charmless gonk over here has been sacked and arrested for nicking kids' Christmas cards--apparently they found he had been targeting cards labelled 'Master' or 'Miss' as they were more likely to be from grannies and granddads-who also are the most likely to not only have put in presents,but cash as wellk.

Mine either, Kit. In a supreme example of irony, I found mine under a couple of bills yesterday morning . . .

[Kittish]

This is the kind of things that just makes me... Let's see, I'll stay civilized here and just say "livid". The people involved in this are just the lowest of bottom feeders. I hope that they nail their @$$.

For as much as I was looking forward to a card from across the pond, don't feel the need to spend your money to replace mine.

Ditto this.

About 5 years ago,there was something similar nearby.A post guy found he couldn't deliver all his mail in the time allocated to him for his route-so instead of raising his concerns,he stashed it all.They found a garage full of 2 years'worth of mail....

Afraid we have some news...apparently a whole bunch of post in our area has been found lying about-it was from mid-December.. it seems somebody was going through it hunting for cash or presents in the Christmas mail and the rest just got chucked somewhere It may be that the cards that haven't made it were in there.I shall try and get some new ones sent out,as the originals even if they didn't get opened may not be in a wonderful state after having spent a month dumped in a field

We just had a report of similar shennanigans happening here in the US within the last week. A postal carrier has been fired due to dumping mail on the side of the road in Kansas City, Missouri.
