There was a thread a couple of years ago in which the OP and others requested that Dopers send Christmas cards to their kids who would enjoy getting cards addressed directly to them. Is there any interest in a repeat for this year? I’m sure there are other Doper kids who would get a kick out of their own personal cards from far off places.
Hmmm. Did something not go well in 2004? I like the idea and would happily participate, even if it is just the two of us.
It was really nice, and my daughter and I both enjoyed it. Count us in to give and receive if it gets off the ground!
Got your PM, so your daughter will get at least one Doper card.
I enjoyed the original cards for kids, and wanted to do it again. I usually need a push to send my holiday cards out on time, and this got me motivated, as meeting the deadline for US mail deliveries meant my Canadian cards were well within the pre-Christmas delivery window, *and *I made some children happy! Double win for me.
If someone wants a card from the Netherlands, just e-mail me. MaastrichtSon is still too small to enjoy getting a card, but in a couple years, he going to enjoy receiving cards too.
My son would like to give and receive. He got a big kick out of it last time.
PM if you want our address or to give us your’s.
I reckon I can send a few, if anybody wants a card from Qatar. There’s actually a Hallmark store at the mall; maybe they have some interesting seasonal cards.
I’d love to send a kid a card - I have Marvel Comics stamps too!
Send me an email and the card will follow.
Ooo! I love stuff like this! I can send a card from the deep south. Anyone PM me if my email is not public.
Would this be easier if it was organized? I can do that instead of us all emailing each other but it would mean that I would be distributing your addresses in list form, if everyone is OK with that.
I am headed to work soon but will check back this afternoon to see what you guys think.
I’d be happy to send cards, just PM me your address. Also, a collective list might not be a bad idea, it would mean everyone would only have to submit their address to one person instead of a bunch of people.
I’d also love to send cards out to anyone’s little ones. Just email (please put SDMB in the subject header) or PM me.
I’d be happy to send some cards too. I just bought a box of a bunch today. They are very icon-ish.
OK - I am checking back and there seems to be little interest in compiling a list. The offer is still open but I’d need to do it fairly soon to get everyone’s addresses out so if anyone is interested please let me know. Otherwise I’m going to send you all fruitcake.
ShelliBean, I’m very interested in doing it that way. I have to head to work right now but I’ll PM you sometime while I’m there. Thanks!
Awesome. I have to, well, nothing today until I go into work tonight. So I’ll come back soon and set up some preferred suggestions for how to send it to me so we’ll all get addresses!
Sure, I’ll sign up for this.
OK, everyone that wants to receive a post card for their kid(s) please email me with this information in this format:
SDMB Name
Kid(s) Names of how you want it addressed
Address
City, State, Zip
If you want to receive cards I will automatically put you on the email list for those sending them out. However - if you only want to send them out please email me and tell me that so I can add you to the compiled list that will go out.
The email is pepperdemented at live dot com.
I’d like to send the list out by Thursday afternoon so let’s get them in by then! Cool?
This sounds like fun. We’d like to send and receive. I’m right next to DC so can send cards with a postmark from there if you’d like.
Email sent! Thanks!
I’m in; this sounds like a blast!
