2012 Christmas Card Exchange! Tallies are closed! Thanks for playing!

[Maria]

Has anyone received cards from

None of the rest, but I did get a card from Kara... and to be honest, I might have gotten the four that I haven't yet checked off on my list. There were a few days this month that I was unable to figure out where The Husband squirreled the mail away to, after bringing it in.

It was a lot of fun to participate, and brought opportunities to interact with people I might not have, otherwise. I hope I can do it again next year!

10 Days left if you still have cards to tally!

[Sarlon]

ok scoured over the house, went through paperwork, did everything humanly possible...I have not recieved cards from them either. in fact most of my mail has been junk, business, or bills.

I still wish I could have done it this year, but, alas, moving expenses and activities prevented it >_<

Speaking of which, do you have any idea how hard it is to transport five tons of glitter? o_O Oh well, I guess my vic-...er, I mean, recipients will just get extra glitter in their cards next time around Make sure your shop-vac's are in working order by then, boys and girls

I think my Dyson can handle the glitter . . . it does pretty well with dog hair.

BTW, I got a card from Bandit today. YIPPEE

Just blow it into the air. There'll be *plenty* wherever you go.

Got Bandit's card today. It made my mom laugh, she asked if we were starting really early this year.

[Monica]

Got Bandit's today.

I got Bandit's today, too (and his tally is up to 7!) So, um, I guess he can ignore my PM from the other day.

[Bandit]

Dunno what happened. I put them in the mail late (my bad).

I guess the mailbox finally thawed out enough.

Glad they got there.

I too received Bandit's card today.

[morgana]

Sorry, guys, I don't have any of my tallies up; life got weird for a while. Gonna get 'em up now.

[Andara Bledin]

I didn't check the mail on Saturday, but there was a card from Bandit in the box.

^-.-^

[Kara]

I'm sorry everyone. I really truly am sorry. The last few months have been non-stop for me. There is so much demanding my attention that when I get 5 minutes to myself, all I can do is take my mind of the mountain of crap I've been dealing with by tuning the world out with various distractions. And yes, I've been spending my weekends with my girlfriend because I'm safe from the world when I'm in her arms. Today, everything hit me like a freight train and I couldn't get my mind to slow down and I had a panic attack followed by the imminent breakdown that's been building for awhile now. When life started kicking my ass in November, I should have opted out of the exchange. But I was going to get my cards out no matter what. Then I'd sit down and remember, oh, I still have to do X, Y, and Z. So I'd have to deal with those. It was one thing after another and in the end I just didn't have enough me to go around.

I sincerely apologize to everyone who I let down. I am permanently removing myself from all future card exchanges and I'm probably going to step away from CS for awhile because I really fucked this up.

Dave, you will still get your package as promised.

I'm so very sorry. Until we meet again, take care of yourselves.

Goodbye for now.

I received Bandit's card yesterday and tallied it today. I'm 5 cards shy of a complete list:

Aethian
HappyFunBall
IDontWorkHere
Ironclad Alibi
Kara

After reading Kara's post and being sad to see her leave us for a while, I totally understand and wish you a speedy journey back to happiness.
