As I was driving back from work tonight, I got a scare that it was
the 10th and we didn't have a list yet. By the time I got to my flat,
I realised that it was November.

But, it probably doesn't hurt to get an early start, so whose turn is
it this year?

If no one else wants to do it, I'll gladly take over list master
duties this year.

Does that mean there is some email address we should send our postal
information to?

Since me and my wife are going to increase the world population by 1
in a few weeks from now, I won't organise, but will send out X-mas
cards this year.

Awesome! I just organized an electron packet that is
bouncing through the system headed for your inbox.

The bad news is: this is probably going to be the year I run out of 42
cent stamps to mail out cards with.
