Once again it’s time to ask if anyone wants to receive or send Christmas cards to Doper kids. As in previous years, if you want to send cards or receive them post and let me know.
For privacy, I will collect names, ages, and addresses of recipient children by PM, and provide them to the senders also by PM.

Sweet, I’ve been waiting for this to happen again. I’ll send and receive. I have two girls, 9 and 7. Maybe this year I can have them do the cards better.

I thought it was about that time! I have no one to receive, but I’m happy to send! Thanks for organizing this!

I’d love to send some cards as well!

I’ll send cards again this year.
Doper Parents whose children got cards from me previously - did the kids like getting stickers in with the cards? Worth doing again?

I’ll send again this year. Maybe more normal than usual but ------- we can handle that for change.

Yes, is there a deadline? Also, I send Christmas cards, but only ones that have a Scripture verse. Would that be a problem?

No deadline, other than when your cards would need to be sent to arrive by Christmas. Previous years have had most cards sent to US addresses, but also to places like China. I will send out an initial listing soon, and update as required when new senders/receivers join in.
As for the type of cards, these are for younger children, so, if religious, should be suited to the age of the recipient. (I will provide ages if available with the names and addresses when I send them out.)

Are names and addresses going out soon?

I Sure hope I’m not the only one getting cards! It doesn’t matter to me what the girls get, they like opening them and they like putting them up. Plus as a single dad it gives **me** more decorations.

**EtH** - Did your daughters like the stickers I put in last year, or is it not worth the bother?

Kids always like stickers. Lucky for me they also know to only put them on paper and not the fridge. So, they’d like them.

I would like to receive cards again this year. My son is now 8 and it connects him to other parts of the world (we’re the ones living in China). Similar to other years, we will not be sending out cards. (finding cards, all postage is international, etc.)

Do you still have the same address as last year?

Yes. We haven’t moved (yet - next summer we will return to the U.S.) so the address should be the same.
