Let's make a thread for this.

I got a card from Lloyd. Thank you, Lloys.

Also - I sent mine today, so expect them soon :-)

I don't plan on returning to the ~20month delays of years past, but at

Yeah - consuming tea with friends is said to be better than consuming
friends with tea.

Either way, I got a cute card from Christ. Thank you!

Was it the tea they were inspecting?

Australian Customs confiscated my christmas %afda tea a few years ago
(I chose not to pay the $42 to have them sterilise it and send it on)

I got yellow tape and a letter that time. Multiple other times it's
come right through however...

I got green this year, you got yellow before that. My brother says "yellow"
when he picks up the phone. He says "hello" but it sounds like yellow.

Glad you liked it :-) I was a bit worried that customs would make a fuss
out of it, but than I remembered that others had sent tea with no
problem. Glad to hear that various froupies are getting it.

Fantastic. I bought small cards this year, thinking they would be
rather twee.

When I visited the post office, I was informed they were in fact
/too small/ to be posted and the machines would lose them in sorting.

So I purchased large envelopes and dropped the small cards in them.

Good story! I was wondering how that came about.

In other news, I got a camera for Christmas, so I used it to capture
the cards I'd received this year. See the whole set (I think) at:

The babel fish was drawn for me by my boss and friend, Lyle Doucette
aka Chuck Drywall. I designed the rest of the card and printed it at
work. I then packaged them up and put them in my purse and promptly
forgot about them for a month... Whoosh!

I have not yet sent any cards... but I've not yet forgotten. I wonder if
anyone has moved since the last 2011 address list was sent out?

(Insert joke about not moving since 2011, nope, still sitting here)

I wasn't on the 2011 list, I was on the 2010. Planning on 2012, maybe
it'll become an even-year thing, maybe 2011 will just go down as The
Lost Year. Stay tuned to find out.

I can only speak for myself, but I didn't change my address, and I'm
not intending to do so in the near future.

I, like Jan, haven't moved in the past 9 months. Nor do I intend to
move again anytime soon.

I have received, as of yesterday, a rather fine metal pin badge along
with an Xmas card for 2011.

Many thanks!

Sorry, if anyone sent to me recently. I moved in january and my 6 months
mail forward is over, so the card was probably returned. Or scrapped :-(

We'll see - sometime the danish postal service actually forwards mail
after 6 months have passed. And I believe they have no obligation to
return post cards to the sender - but I have no idea, really!

Also, forwarding mail is a bit less trivial thing as the mail crosses a
customs border to Norway - so they refuse to forward eg. magazines :-)
