\*\* little bumpety-bump ahead of the weekend so those Dopers who have \*real \*lives during the week might see it - let’s have some more kids! \*\*
Jesus, those words have never before crossed my mind. 🙂

My kids would love to get some mail!
My daughter is 11, my son is 5 and the newest isn’t due until January so he won’t need one this year! 🙂
We’d love to send some out too!

Yeah! I got a list to send cards to. A question please. Should the cards show Santa as the sendee? I’m assuming so, but I know how much trouble assuming has gotten me into, so I figured I should clarify.

Sorry for the double post, but I thought of another question.
I don’t have an age on some of the kids. How should I handle that? A 3 year old would get a different sort of card from an 11 year old, so I’m not sure.
Thanks for the help.

I know I’m a little late but I would definitely send some cards, and I do not have kids so am not requesting any in return.

As far as what age level of card/Santa signature, I send cards that I think will appeal to any age of child, and sign them with my SDMB name so that the parents will know who it’s from.
Mine are going in the mail tomorrow morning.

Ok, Thanks. I’ll go for more generic and less age specific.

Ditto – PM the name and address. The cards won’t be real fancy but I’ll be sure to use some old funky postage.

I’ve gotten a couple already for the kids. Since they don’t live with me I haven’t opened them yet, though they will this weekend. I have been trying to find nice cards from the area, but haven’t been able to find good ones. I will make a couple tonight and send them out.

Recieved today two cards from **pai325.** My boys were thrilled, and immediately ran to the atlas to find Illinois.
Many thanks for doing this.

One for each DoperKid (and one DoperFetus) signed, sealed, and addressed today. Now I just need to get to the post office…

I sent out 4-5 today and I still need to get to the post office to get the last one to China out. Not everyone got boring old stamps either, just old stamps.

What kinds of things are y’all writing? I’m not sure what to say to a random child I don’t know. Talk about the weather here?

Basically every last one of mine reads:
“Hello, and Merry Christmas! I am a friend of your mom/dad, and they told me you would enjoy getting a Christmas card from a stranger. So, here you go! Merry Christmas, and my all your dreams come true. HH”

I just wrote “Greetings from the US capitol” or something close to that since I live near DC.
I also got two more from Canada today, one for each child, so a total of 5 so far. I’ll have the girls open them this weekend, I’m sure they will enjoy it.
