OO Holiday Card Exchange sign up

Post by Bad Demographic »

I forgot to do this last year, but here it is: the 2019 Holiday Season Card Exchange sign up.
PM me your address. I'll compile the list, pm it out to all who sign up, then we can send each other cards. Best to plan for sending cards for late December.

And if I'm being too pc, apologies.

There's still time to sign up!
I guess you should sign up here and also send me your address.
I have addresses from the past for some of you (see below) but if you moved in the last couple years I'll need new addresses.

OOers whose addresses I have from past Christmas card exchanges include:
Archinerd
Zarathud
Evil Homer 3k
Yellow King
Miltonite (his address changed last year, I think)
Zaxxon
RMC
Chaosraven

I hope I didn't leave anybody out. A few of you have dropped off over time, so unless I hear from you I'll assume you don't want to exchange cards with us (sniff, sniff).

This seems like a wonderful idea, but I can't commit to it. I have enough trouble getting presents/cards/calls out to my immediate family members, including the ones I live with.

I think last year we received a record low of 1 Xmas card. I used to be diligent at least sending to my closest friends, but reciprocation has evaporated so I pretty much stopped.

Send another reminder after Football and Turkey Day though. If I received a holiday card this early I would have to cut you.

Last time I said yes to this I didn't actually do it. I intend to change that this time.
If anyone chooses not to send me a card because they think they might not get one back, I understand. Also know, that if you do choose not to send a card, you will burn in Hell for all eternity for violating the sacred rite of Holiday Card Exchanging. On the bright side, I'll be there too due to my past transgressions, so maybe we can hang out and play some board games.

If you want a Christmas card I will still send one your way and there is no pressure to send anything back. It is just one more stamp, not a problem to me. Just PM me your address if you don't want to join the full group.

Haha yeah. It's hard to find OO-themed Christmas cards so sometimes you just have to make your own. :D

Miltonite's card always makes my wife laugh. Christmas Chicken!

And thanks for the baby sock, BadDemo!

Thanks to everyone who participated and particularly Bad_Demo for setting it up. Had a great time reading your cards. We actually didn't get many Christmas cards this year (probably due to everyone being so rushed), so it was a nice treat to get a mantel full from you guys. :csmile:

We laughed our asses off. The original (or a scan) really needs to be posted for the masses to enjoy.

Thanks for joining us this year, Jaymon. I liked the card (ancient paparazzi) and will forever associate you with Christmaswear.
