[telecom_goddess]

woohoo! we've got 60 people on the list right now!

sweet I have more than enough cards then.

[Amina516]

Cool beans. I thought we were at 64, so I got like 90 cards... LOL.

Im ready to go.

I see that there are only a few people overseas in Europe. About how many weeks before Christmas should I send the cards to them? I can't remember how long the post takes to reach there...even though I used to live overseas. XD It's only about a five to seven day journey, right?

[Irving Patrick Freleigh]

I always shoot for sending out my cards Thanksgiving week. That would be plenty of time, plus they start arriving as we get more into the season.

My suggestion is to check out the site for the post office in your area. They usually have deadline dates posted for Christmas delivery.

If you check on the main page of the card signup, Pedersen has provided links to the postal systems for a few countries.

I know people are excited, but I really hope that they don't start sending out cards until at least late November or early December.
Not to be a wet blanket, but I prefer to get my Christmas cards during the Christmas season.
I like to display all my cards, but last year, some of them came so early that, by the time Christmas rolled around, and I was ready to put my cards up, they had gone missing.

I'll take neither credit nor blame for those links: JuniorMintz did the work of finding, updating, and placing them there. I just gave her a web form to do it.

[Ree]

Thanks for clarifying.

I wasn't sure who was responsible for what when the tool was being created.

[cinema guy]

Should be good then. I was thinking the little ones were those square 2X2 ones someone did last year.

That was me.

[Bella_Vixen]

Bought my cards today. At the same place Becks bought hers.

I apologize in advance if people get the same cards from us; it'll be completely unintentional.

[hinakiba777]

I'm still looking for my cards. I'm trying to find the perfect ones with my namesake on them. ^-^ I have a Christmas name. I can't wait to receive everyone's cards.

[Sarlon]

alright folks mine are gonna be sent a little later then last year....I'm house sitting for 3 weeks till the weekend before thanksgiving. But the money from that, will buy the cards, and postage.

I've changed my mind ike 6 times since this was annoucned so I hope you like them.

[Ironclad Alibi]

I was hoping to make my cards, but I found some delightful ones at the store and bought them. Maybe next year. I have a good idea for next year that I couldn't use this year.

How does everyone sign their cards? With their real name? Or their forum name? Or both?

I sign with my real name and my screen name underneath in parentheses.

I think some have just used screen names in the past.

I have to see how many cards I actually have; probably not enough.
