Because I have actually started now. Seems like a nice thing to do, especially this year. And a friend works at the post and says she loves sorting through Christmas mail.

I really got out of the habit after two years of sending out scads of cards and getting none in return. It doesn't really seem like a thing anymore. I get cards for my church staff and volunteers but that's about it.
I am a bit nostalgic about the good ol days of getting and receiving cards though.

I should be able to manage this year. No grading rush or travel worries this year.

I am also going to be trying to send cards this year. I just updated my address in the address thread.

I have written a few already which I need to take to the post office. We seem to be getting less of them, but I still enjoy writing and sending them.

Postage stamps cost a fortune though.

I have sent some. If you don't get one from me, either I wrote your address too illegibly, or forgot to put a stamp on, or something.

Our post is horribly behind. They couldn't handle the sinterklaas rush of online shopping and are still catching up. I'm still waiting for 3 parcels. They should have been here well over a week ago. Any cards sent to me will probably also be very late.

I got cards sent out yesterday, so there's a chance some could arrive before Christmas.

Any cards sent to me will probably also be very late. Not at all, we had one from you via Norway, I think. The postmark was Neuwegein and the card itself had Belgium on the back. Very international And one from Joe, thanks Joe.

I said cards sent TO me, not BY me. That said, my cards took quite the scenic route! Nieuwegein can be literally translated to new fun, but it has no meaning that I'm aware of. Thanks for the card, Steve! It came via France, so while I thought at first it was yours from the handwriting, I ruled it out because of the French stamp. I blame it all on the French.

I'm glad it got to you before Christmas. I said cards sent TO me, not BY me. I'm not quite with it some days

I got a nice card from Marit and family, but I have to say, I didn't actually check the route it took to get to me!
