The 2008 CS Christmas Card List - Discussion

[NimrodJess]

Guess who just found a box this week with Christmas Cards in it she meant to send out long before she moved? Yeah, that's me. I will mail them this week... Yes, Christmas in MARCH.


I'm a tard.

Whoa.... I wanna go to South Africa now! It's cheap!

[iradney]

All my stamps were 5 bucks...in dollars I think that's about 50 cents

[Evil Queen]

I believe it was, yes. But price of stamps are going up in April.

You're forgetting the one in South Africa (92 cents) and the two in New Zealand (ditto price).

Stamp to Canada was 72 cents, I think.

Well if it helps, I count 5 Canadian names, just over 50 American, and about 65 in total, in this year's list. Find out your local postage rates, do the math, and you'll be able to have a rough idea.

[Boozy]

Forgive me if someone's covered this already (this is a megathread and I haven't read the whole thing), but would any of the Canadian participants be willing to share how much they spent on postage this year?

I'd like to participate next year, but given that most members are from the States, I'm worried about the cost of all the international postage. But if I had a rough idea of the cost, I could start saving my pennies now.

Jeez...maybe there's still hope for the envelope of magazines I sent via interoffice mail shortly before Christmas. It was only going to the other end of the warehouse, but my friend never got it...

One of these days I'll dig out Steverino's card and send it (again).

This project was fun. I may even do it again next year. It wasn't really expensive (about $32 USD for postage) and to be honest. It felt... really nice... to get holiday cards and good wishes during my more miserable time of the year.

I hate the cold, I hate Christmas because something bad almost always happens. But ya know, it was really really nice to get all those cards.

And thanks again to the couple people to sent RW and Lupo cards via my address too. It was really sweet of you guys.

I know it's months later, but thanks again JM!

I had a problem because I left my cards at my school for something to do the next day after finals and we had a snow day, so I contacted JM for the address list again and just started over. Got them out on time right before work on Christmas Eve. JM was really nice about resending me the address list.

I do hope we can keep on with this project. It brought me alot of joy to get mail almost everyday and it helped my mom trust this website and the people in it. She's fine with me talking to Plaidman on the phone because of it! My sister even got into it and would get excited if a card was in the mail, even though it was for me and not for her.
