Christmas Tea Cards Swap 2015

Christmas Cards Swap is back for another year! We’ll see who and how many people are interested, then you would send your own Christmas cards to everyone who ends up in the final pool. So you should get back the same number of cards that you put out. When sign ups are over I’ll start a PM where everyone could put up their address. Basically this is a way to swap with a whole lot of people at once.

Sign ups are open until through next Wednesday 12/9/15. SIGN UPS ARE NOW CLOSED

It could be a small or big commitment, depending on the size of the group. I reserve to right to screen people out if it seems they are very new or not very active. I don’t want people to sign up just to get on the thread and steal addresses! I will probably limit the group to 15 people at most.

You should be following me so I can include you when we do the group message.

You have to be alright with your address being shared with a small to moderate group of people. You reserve the right to drop out right before we start if you get uncomfortable with the idea.

You could send everyone a sort of generalized card or personalize it. The point is to have fun and reach out to people, so you can put more or less effort into it as you like.

This would be a card and a small amount of tea, enough for two servings minimum. (That should fit in a holiday card envelope fine, I think…) If you would like to provide more, that is to your discretion. If you have any allergies or major dislikes, you’ll have to say so.

If you prefer not to receive religious themed holiday cards, you would have to indicate that.

From last year it seems as if the easiest way to ship these are as small packages, although your postal office might let you get away with shipping them as letters. If you have some magic way of shipping them as normal letters I would LOVE to know how!

You should indicate whether you’re willing to send mail internationally incase we get any international Steepsterites that want to join. In that case there will be an international group thread as well as a US based group thread.

Thanks for organizing, Flyawaybirdie! I’d like to participate. I’d prefer not to send internationally, though.

Being lower on funds right now, I can participate with 10 domestically.

I would love to do this! :) Please pair me with the people from Canada, if there are other takers. Otherwise I’m okay with shipping internationally.

OK, PMs to verify if you still want to participate have gone out. Once I hear back from most people I’ll start the thread. It’s a busy time of the year so I don’t mind if people drop out. It is pretty last minute.

I have NO IDEA what the deadline to ship is to reach by Xmas, but I don’t mind receiving whenever. Does anyone have problems with receiving holiday cards after the holidays? =)

I have no problem with receiving late cards :)It only helps justify prolonging the Christmas season ;)

OK, PMs have been set up and have gone out. If I missed you and you confirmed, I’m Sorry!! Let me know and we’ll figure it out?

Please let us know in this thread when you receive your wonderful holiday cards! =) Have fun!
