    For just over 6 years this card has trooped its way round the world no doubt sharing stories and tales.
    I guess we should be thankful some of our cards took only a month or two to get to you.

      Well now we have gone from the sublime to the quite frankly bonkers.
      I moved house about 6 months ago.With my Christmas card from my old housemate, I received a couple of bits of mail that had sneaked through redirection. And a card from a Xmas Exchange that had arrived.
      The postmark(which they'd managed to stamp on the front of the card...) is Minneapolis. The end of the date is too smudged to read but definitely 201 something.It's signed from a Captain Neon,who a little bit of detective work tells me was a member here from 2016-17. So this must have been for Card Exchange 2016. For just over 6 years this card has trooped its way round the world no doubt sharing stories and tales.
      So Captain Neon, your merry card with a lovely 1950s style car with dog in Santa hat and presents with the tree on the roofrack has arrived to cheer me up!
      I don't remember the name, but he was indeed on the list in 2016.

        Wow. If only that card could talk!

        • Welp, it's February so I think we'll call it a year. There are still two stragglers out there, apparently; if they show up, feel free to share, but even so, I think that's the best year I've seen for cards being received and posted (at least since I've been the one keeping track). So good job, everyone. See you next year!
