I am getting ready to send out Christmas Cards and got a fart-brained idea. Do any of you dopers want to exchange Christmas cards? If so, e-mail me your mailing address to my e-mail address at the bottom on this post. In return, I will send you mine. ---

I haven’t received my cards - the artist in charge is something of a perfectionist! But, I will get cards somehow. Address send, Diane - what a great idea! ---

I would be in for sure if I didn’t do things backwards: For some strange reason, I was really, really good about sending Christmas cards when I was IN COLLEGE (of all the times—you’d think I’d have been out partying my winter break away instead of wasting my time sending out cards), but, ever since I’ve become a middle aged geezer, I’ve barely sent any out. I should explain that I’m the type who never just writes “Happy Holidays, (signed) Dan”. I usually tried to fill one side of the card by asking after the person (ie, I personalize my cards.) However, if I can reverse this really odd trend (ie, get off my butt), **Diane** is just the type of person I would do this for! 🙂 We’ll see.
