It’s that time again! Following on the success of [Christmas Cards for Doper Kids 2008](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=494753) and the original [Christmas Cards for Doper Kids](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=345153), in which Dopers were requested to send Christmas cards to Dopers’ kids who liked getting cards addressed directly to them, is there any interest in a repeat for this year? I’m sure there are still Doper kids who would enjoy getting their own personal cards from far off places, and I’ve enjoyed sending them.

My church is selling Christmas cards made in Costa Rica that benefit a women’s shelter and recovery program. In case you are interested…

You can include a blurb about how your Christmas card is changing lives!

So far we have:

Sending:  
Bookkeeper  
faithfool  
gardentraveler  
newcrasher  
kopek  
Susie Derkins

Receiving:  
Susie Derkins  
Hal Briston

Unless someone wants to volunteer to collect and send out e-mails with the info, I think the easiest way is for the receivers to PM the senders with name and address info for the kids who would like to receive the cards.

Ohhh, I geddit now.

I was thinking this was a “doper kids send _and_ receive cards” deal, not just receive them. Well hell, put TLB down on the “send” list as well – she loves showing of how she can write her name. 🙂

I’d like to send some cards. I haven’t signed up for my usual cyber-lists this year, and I feel a little Scroogy just now.
