I've got a few...thank you, thank you...and working on mine. Don't even get me started on handwriting. KLMNO...done yours twice now. It was 3am and I guess I'm not thinking straight. My hand/brain was not cooporating.
Toss in that H has been in a total pity party forever and gets mad when I sit down to write the cards. I take the bus in the freezing weather, work all day in a new position, come home and make dinner...no clean up from his late night mess first...then 2 loads of laundry. I finally sit down to write and I get, "You do nothing around here." Blah.
So, the cards were a very nice thing to come home to. I will do my best to get them out this next week.

Thank you, Abbey! But really, one card will be sufficient! I did mine in "shifts" as I could work them in better that way. I wrote and mailed out the ones going further away first and had 4 "batches". The last ones were picked up by the mailman (woman) today.
I have received a few - this is the first year I've done this so I wasn't sure how to approach it, but I'm impressed!! I'll try harder to reach that level next year!!

Hi Abbey,
I laughed about the post office guys comment about NZ .... it constantly amazes Kiwis (New Zealanders) that other countries don't seem to know WHERE we are ...
Basically if you just say to them that NZ is East of Australia .... SURELY the postal workers know where AUSTRALIA is?!
My eldest daughter travelled for 5 months earlier this year (15 Countries) ..... she got tired of trying to explain where NZ is ... so in the end she told people she was from Australia ..... (normally NZers like to clarify the difference between coming from Aussie or NZ - just like Americans and Canadians often do) ....
However, it was amazing how many New Zealanders she came across (often in really obscure places) .... you hear that familiar accent and feel that home really isn't that far away .... it really is a small world
I have had fun writing the addresses on the envelopes for the cards to CD Board members ..... it is a completely different way of writing addresses compared to what I am used to here .... all those post code letters and numbers ... LOL
I am off to work at the book shop today (Sunday) .... oh joy, working in RETAIL is SO MUCH FUN at this time of year ....
Have a great weekend everyone.

They came in the mail today!
The box was damaged.
The P.O. taped it up and put a note on it saying, "Because we care."
Oh, really?
So if your cards are squished, it ain't my fault!!!!
Janie, I actually know where New Zealand is! I am so proud of myself. It makes up for the fact that I gave one of my best friends a Santa hat from UVA instead of VA Tech ... they are major rivals. OMG, I am so stupid.

I want to thank the board for starting a new tradition for me. I never sent out any cards at all until last year. Because of the board, I have made this a new thing. I have sent not only to the board, but to others. Those I don't see daily. I have received a lot of lovely cards from you guys, and they are on display throughout the house. Grandson was here this weekend and he loved seeing all of them and "trying" to read them.
