Christmas is coming! Following on the success of [Christmas Cards for Doper Kids 2009](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=541419), [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 another go 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 would enjoy sending them out again.

We always enjoy this! I’m in to send, and for my daughter to receive.

So we have - receiving:

Susie Derkins’ daughter  
Alice The Goon’s son  
Rhiannon8404’s son  
and sending:

Bookkeeper  
Susie Derkins  
Alice The Goon  
Dusty Rose  
Rhiannon8404

Can those who want cards for their kids PM the senders with names and addresses?

I’d be happy to send (and receive) if it’s not too late. I’ve got a nephew living with me (wee age of 2). If someone wants to receive, I’ll get an age-appropriate card out.

Kids like cards and presents, after all.

ETA: If the kid is in the 12-14 are, mathematically, I have my favorite “crypto” puzzle in mind - it was the one I liked in 7th grade (right after Space Camp… errr, Space Academy).

We have cards! Three so far. I know that one is from **Bookkeeper** , one is from **kopek** , and the other is a really neat 3D card that I believe is from **Dusty Rose**.

She loves them all, and they are on display on our mantle. She’s never been this excited about checking the mail before. 🙂 Thanks, guys!

On another note, mine went out a little late, but maybe by some Christmas miracle they’ll still make it on time!
