The 2008 CS Christmas Card List - Discussion

[One-Fang]

I'm happy to report that 31/64 cards made it to New Zealand before Christmas Day!

I'm a little disappointed the only other local was one of the ones who has not, and I haven't seen her name on some of the other lists of receiveds either, so I hope she's okay and everything is alright in her world this season.

Those that have sent them out too late or still intend to get them out from now on - FANTASTIC! Late cards are FINE! I look forward to receiving a good many Christmas cards in the next couple of weeks as they arrive. They will brighten the start of my 2009. I appreciate those that have posted of their delays and promised to get them out - it's nice to know what the story is and that they're coming. Unlike those of whom there has been no word at all ...

I had to scan through the cards themselves to compile my "by the day" list, so one or two are not named by ID because it wasn't on the card, but hopefully you can work out who you are, and your ID was thanked some time ago in the thread, based on return addresses on the envelopes, which I did not keep.

I have received cards from:

iradney
monolayth

Today's Day After Christmas cards came from

Spiffy McMoron - I put your little lolhamster pic on my fridge

Evil Queen
Protege - both of whose cards involve little red birdies

TechnicalAngel - is the gift for the mouse from the cat, or is it for the cat from the mouse, or is the cat just trying to lure the mouse out to his doom? I've spent too much time thinking about this one...

Got a lovely card from BlaqueKatt!

I don't know if the prevalence of kitteh cards is because I have a kitteh-based avatar and people have thought about that, or just that a lot of you folks like kitties. Either way - I'm digging the kitteh love this Chrissy!

Ok I have been marking my list so here is my list of received.
Please note: I am enjoying that I am getting cards spread out over time. I know those I don't have yet are still coming and they give me something to look forward too in the upcoming days.
(P.S. I have a few that I am framing to become holiday decoration in my home, others have been put in a scrapbook, and the rest - are going to be used next year for arts and crafts by my sister's 3 littles)

Oh good, I'm glad people are getting them. I still have a few more to send out, so I apologize to my overseas friends. Between my illness and running out of stamps, they went out late. Again, I'm sorry about that.
