Christmas is coming! Following on the success of [Christmas Cards for Doper Kids 2010](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=586880), [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 (or nearby) places, and I would enjoy sending them out again.

I’d be happy to send a card.

I would love to send some. My boys have always loved their cards and I’d like to repay the favor.

I have never done this before but I would love to send and my 9 year old daughter would love to receive. Mine would have to go out a bit early since we have our second doper baby due on the 23rd of Dec and I don’t want to forget sending a kid a Christmas Card amidst labor chaos.

I’m willing to send one and my little 3 year old daughter would love to get one. Let me know what I need to do. 🙂

I’m living in China, so we don’t receive many Christmas cards but I’m sure it would thrill my 4 year old son to see his name. This is my 1st time doing this, so I’m not exactly sure about the setup. Due to cost and no store to buy Christmas cards, we’ll not be able to return the favor though. Sorry.

I’m in, and since I have two girls, one 5 and one 3, I’ll send out two cards. Let me know how you want to do it.

I have two boys, 6 and 4. I know they would like to get a couple of Christmas cards, and send a couple. My oldest son is fascinated with world geography, so an international card exchange would be more than welcome. Sign me up for two!

I’ll be happy to send one or two and, as I have no kids, nobody needs to return the favor for me. 🙂 Never done this before either.

I’m in.
How does this work? Does someone PM me their kids’ names and snail-mail address?

I can send up to 3.
I’ve done this before and as I recall, someone IM’d me with their child’s name and address. I think **Bookkeeper** may have matched up senders and receivers.

I should clarify that I have no kids, so I would be sending only. 🙂

Can those who want cards for their kids PM me with names and addresses? I will send them on to those who want to send out cards. (This may work best given the larger number of senders this year.)
