ProBoards Support Holiday Card Exchange 2014

[RedBassett]

Thanksgiving is over, so clearly it is time to think about Christmas whatever thing you celebrate this time of year. (I think we need a holiday just for the snow itself. Like an extra week off in mid January to just go play in the stuff.)

Even if we are deprived of this much needed extra holiday, it is time to start sending cards to your fellow PBS GT members. New here? Forget how this works? No fear, read on.

Receiving cards:

Each winter, we send cards to other members. You will express your interest in receiving cards by filling out the helpful form linked below. Please note that you need to register for one of two categories:

Surprise Me! - By choosing this category, you are giving me permission to share your mailing address with anyone who asks for it so they can surprise you with a card.
Pre-Approved - Don't want to share your mailing address by default? No problem. By registering in this category, I will ask you each time a member wants to send you a card before I give out your mailing address.

The fine print:
1) This event is not sponsored or officially connected to ProBoards.
2) Members under 18 years of age must have permission from their parent or guardian before registering their mailing address in the exchange.

Sending cards:

So you've signed up to receive some cards, but you want to help send some to other members? Up above is a list of all the members who have requested to receive cards. Pick out a name (or several) and send me a PM with the selected names. I will reply with their associated addresses and you can get sending.

Please keep in mind the time it can take to send mail, especially around the holidays. An early start is always better.

I used to feel like that about the entire holiday season for years and years due to having a lot of bad things happen around holidays for years. It changed a bit since the last 7 years cos i finally actually had a few holiday times i enjoyed..

7 January is my Christmas and once in a while all the Family gets together to catch up. We don't crazy with the gifting as we are just grateful to see Family.
I'm just tired of constant never ending cycle, Christmas then New Years then Easter and the list goes on then we start all over again and continue the same cycle again. We need a brand new National holiday to break the cycle.

See, that's where many go wrong. They live for the next big holiday instead of seeing the good things in life every day.  

*spins* I'm on the list!!

I have to get the cards I'm sending out by December 10th, that will give it 2 weeks to get to where it needs to go.

Sounds good! I'll be here. or somewhere. Hopefully somewhere with internet…

Stupid question: Are people sending store-bought cards or homemade ones? I'm still considering joining in, but I don't want to send store-bought cards and appear lazy/uncreative if everyone else is making them, and I also don't want to look like a weirdo and spend hours putting together cards if everyone else is just buying them and writing names inside or something.

Edit: Well, you know, more of a weirdo than has already been established.
