I got a card from Helena today featuring a herd of caribou staring at me in what is probably a very friendly manner for a bunch of caribou.

I've received cards from What Exit and Weedy! Thank you so much!

I have received a plethora of mail!
I got a very valid point card, from Silenus- yes, it would suck with a dual purpose day- and he was the first!

A very sweet tree Inna boat from whatexit- and I share the sentiment.
A Christmas tree with nary a rat nor a diva in sight!

Some reindeer I want to <boop,> right on their fuzzy noses.
Some glitter pretending to be a barn from Random Precision


A festive regatta from a very cool Duck
And a Christmas in a desssseeeerrrrrttttt

I can't argue with Bird Law. Even a CAT can't argue (successfully) with Bird Law. We have wings and shit.

I didn't participate this time around (too much going on) but someone sent me a card anyway. From Lori (Peeking Duck?), a beach scene with a trio of shorebirds decked out in winter scarves and a Santa hat. Thank you very much!

And the later the better, sometimes. They are a surprise! Heck - draw some Fireworks on and send them in July... or Hearts for Valentine's Day, or Shamrocks for St Patty's, or Trees for Arbor Day. Or throw some Lincolns in for President's Day...

Two more cards today: a purty string of lights from Monstera and Bob, and a herd of durpy caribou (they make their own reindeer moss better and cheaper at home) from Helena. Thanks, all!

Lots and lots of cards!

Thank you Helena (I love the reindeer/caribou!), Cyber Rock (the desert tree and the roadrunner are gorgeous!), Random Precision (there are CHICKENS!!!) and Ratty (who drew me an adorable duck!)!

So much fun to open, and I appreciate them all.

I need to catch up on thank yous! I'm so appreciative of the good cheer that's been showing up in my mailbox.

Peeking Duck, such cute sandpipers (I think)!

Rebo, a sweet one with a darling bear holding a Starbucks cup. Your granddaughter does such whimsical work.

Ratty, I LOVE this glittery Unicef card with all the peace symbols.

Monstera and BobPi, pretty Christmas lights!

Random, a cool old barn and silo.

Rock, Christmas in the desert!

Silenus, the three wise men unsuccessfully trying to buy Playstations.

Thank you again!

Got a bunch all at once. Going to open tonight I think. Made me feel good this week getting cards from so many people. I think the a difference too between getting them from people who enjoy and want to send them.

Thank you all. With this absolute bummer of a year in do many ways, I look forward to the arbitrary turn around date of 1 January 2022.

BeeGee's Kitty Card arrived today.

Merry Christmas all. Ran out of room in the first card spot. Overflowing to a second.

I got Bashorian's super cute marshmallow ⛄☃️⛄ yesterday on Christmas eve, appropriately.

I hear you about sending and getting cards from people who really want to, as opposed to just sending them every year out of obligation.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, everyone! 💚
