Thank you Pai and Bookkeeper!
Our 9 year old daughter and the daughter who is still baking in the tummy received their cards. She was thrilled and she is saving the stamps. š

Iām pretty sure Iām not you either. I found some old 33 cent baseball stamps, and since I needed stamps I just used them, mostly the boys got them. I thought that would be more interesting then the āforeverā stamps that I had.

I can send a few from the Netherlands. Next year, when my son is four, I will collect on the favour š

Ok, 10 cards posted! Unfortunately the Italian post is not using stamps, so thereās an ugly printed sticker insteadā¦ However, I was able to find (slightly twee) cards that were in Italian, which is tricky as they mostly sell cards that are in English for some strange reasonā¦
Hope they start arriving soon š

Stamped today, going into mailbox tomorrow. Hopefully all the DoperKids will get theirs by Saturday. I worry about our friend in China getting his in time though.

I just received the first Christmas card from the StraightDope to make it to China. Thanks! My best guess is that it takes about a week to get here. When my son gets home from school today, Iāll have something to show him! Thanks again.

Iāve gotten quite a few in the last week. The girls opened them this weekend and had fun doing so. Now my house looks a lot more like Christmas too with the tree and cards up. They really liked the cat cards too as my youngest really likes cats.

Just wanted to pop in as I head out of town and say that Yay mine are actually in the mail (Iām a day late and a dollar short half the time but dammit I got these out) and that my kids are LOVING getting the mail.
Merry Christmas guys! I feel like the one to China wonāt make it in time, but hopefully the others will, or at least within a couple days of Xmas.

I just wanted to stop in and thank everyone for sending the cards. My kids loved getting the mail and it makes us look like weāre a lot more popular than we really are! š

Yep! We got them last week. My daughter wanted to know how close is Italy to Spain because what you wrote ākind of looks like Spanishā. It was very cool for them to get mail from across the ocean. Thanks!

Thanks to everyone who sent cards!
