8th Annual Holiday Card Exchange

Modificato: Nov 29, 2021, 1:30 pm

The 8th Annual LibraryThing Holiday Card Exchange is here!

» Go sign up now!

How it works: Sign up to send a card—homemade, store bought, holiday-themed or not—of your choosing to a random LibraryThing member. You’ll receive a card in return from another LibraryThing member. You can sign up to send more than one card, if you like. The idea is that, for every card you send, you’ll receive one yourself.

Signups are open now until Wednesday, December 8th at 12:00pm Eastern (17:00 GMT).

More details on the blog.

Reminder: In order for your card to be addressed to your real name rather than your LT handle, you must include your name in the address box. Some postal services require that addressee names match what's on your mailbox.

Need to buy more stamps, but I'm so ready for this! (Actually bought a few boxes of cards earlier this month in anticipation of this, it's the only holiday cards I really send out!)

17AnnieMod

>16 DoreenPatricia: well, you will get a physical address and not an email for the person you need to send a postcard for. If the plan is to send a link, then that’s not what this program is about. If you want to add a link to an electronic one in addition to the paper one (printed on the card or on a separate piece of paper), no one will stop you.

>16 DoreenPatricia: love her stuff! I still send her thanksgiving card turkey in the straw every year to my friends.

22cindydavid4
Dic 5, 2021, 10:15 am

can I ask for non religous cards?

23AnnieMod
Dic 5, 2021, 10:23 am

>22 cindydavid4: You can I guess but people will send what they have and/or had already bought/made. For what it is worth, I’ve never gotten anything that is too religious in all the years I had participated but prayers and Bible quotes had been pre-printed on some postcards. Which is fine with me - best wishes are best wishes and that’s what counts.

24tardis
Dic 5, 2021, 12:37 pm

>22 cindydavid4: >23 AnnieMod: I got one super-religious one last year. I appreciated the good wishes and let the rest go.

Perhaps the very religious recipients are disappointed with my generic seasonal/Happy New Year wishes and pictures of my cats or local wildlife :)

I would just like my sister to not be on my list this year. I got her name the last two years running. She gets a card anyway, so it's kind of redundant.

25AnnieMod
Dic 5, 2021, 12:47 pm

>24 tardis: If it happens again, I’d be happy to assist and send her a postcard instead - just send me the address in a private message. :)

I send whatever postcard catches my eye in the weeks before the exchange - I have a soft spot for Kinkade’s seasonal paintings and a lot of them come only with preprinted text so I just work around that if that’s what I chose that year.

26kristilabrie
Dic 5, 2021, 7:49 pm

>24 tardis: Let me know which member is your sister, in a private message if you prefer, and I'll see if we can make sure that doesn't happen. :)

Thought I'd comment here to be notified (more easily) of additional info. Last year somehow I missed seeing that the people we were sending cards to had been picked! I did find it, just a bit later than I'd hoped.

31kristilabrie
Dic 6, 2021, 2:01 pm

>30 LibraryCin: Sorry for my confusion: are you just commenting on the thread to keep it organized in your Talk posts more easily? Or is there anything we're doing on our end that could make the process easier for you? Thanks!

32LibraryCin
Dic 6, 2021, 4:14 pm

>31 kristilabrie: Sorry to be confusing! I just tend to come back to the Talk threads I've commented on, so commenting here is just easier for me to keep track. So, yes "to keep it organized in your Talk posts more easily". Thanks for checking, though!

Thank you Tabitha, you must have kept my address from last year's card exchange :)

Signups have been closed since this afternoon, with a big total of 305 participants this year! That's a big jump from last year's 190, so well done!

We're currently running matches. We may come across a few hiccups, and we'll reach out to those members directly if so. (e.g. Member only wants to send within their country but no other member from their country has signed up, etc.)

>34 arjan_m: Whoa, extra holiday spirit! Cheers!

I've just spent an enjoyable evening watching old Christmas TV specials (King Family. Andy Williams. Perry Como. Carpenters.) and picking out and addressing cards to be mailed in the morning to places near and far. I hope everyone has a great end to 2021 and a wonderful 2022.

And they’re away, except for one which didn’t have an address.

42tardis
Dic 9, 2021, 1:40 pm

My cards are printed (if still a bit damp - this new ink is great for printing but takes FOREVER to dry) so most will go out today. All of them, if I can get over to the post office for more stamps to go to the US.

43LibraryCin
Dic 9, 2021, 2:40 pm

Got mine in the mail this morning!

I need to stop by the post office to see how much the international ones will cost to mail. Will try to do that when I head out later this morning.

48AnnieMod
Dic 10, 2021, 8:42 am

>47 thornton37814: If they are not oversized, $1.30 or a Forever Global stamp.

49kristilabrie

>44 Heather19: Okay, I'll look and message!

51thornton37814
Modificato: Dic 10, 2021, 8:57 am

>48 AnnieMod: I thought it was $1.30. I've only got US Forever stamps on hand. I'll see about getting some of those Forever Global stamps to have on hand though.

52Helenoel
Dic 10, 2021, 11:21 am

Mine have all gone out- assuming my husband got the global stamps-

53AnnieMod
Dic 10, 2021, 11:42 am

>51 thornton37814: Too bad that the prices do not line up better - 2 US Forever are not enough; 3 are too much for international (you can use the Forever ones as if their current price was printed on them). I had to go to the post office yesterday because I was also out of the Global ones and had not realized it (so had not ordered some to be delivered) and did not have enough smaller denominations either to make up the numbers.

54amanda4242
Dic 10, 2021, 11:52 am

>53 AnnieMod: The prices are annoying! I had a few old 34 cent stamps left, so I used one of those and two forever stamps for my international cards; a little more than what was needed, but not too much.

55AnnieMod
Dic 10, 2021, 12:08 pm

>54 amanda4242: Yeah, if I could not made it to the post office, I'd have used 3 Forever stamps this year despite this taking it over (my only left overs are $.02 ones... and there is not enough space on the envelopes to make up the difference with them after 2 Forever stamps). Note to myself - type to go buy some extra non-Forever stamps. :)

56hredwards
Dic 10, 2021, 3:16 pm

I have a question. One of my people to send cards to didn't have an address listed. What do I do in that case?
Thank you.

57varielle
Dic 10, 2021, 4:19 pm

I googled mine and think I found an address that will get it to them, hopefully.

58thornton37814
Dic 10, 2021, 6:54 pm

>53 AnnieMod: The post office was even out of the global stamps. They just metered it with a sticker for me. I'll try later to get a supply of the forever global ones to have on hand.

59AnnieMod
Dic 10, 2021, 7:13 pm

>58 thornton37814: Well - they can always meter it at least :)

PS: USPS.com has free delivery on stamps with a very modest handling fee ($2 on big orders, less on smaller). :) Just saying.

60amanda4242
Dic 10, 2021, 7:22 pm

>59 AnnieMod: Yep, but they aren't always very fast delivering. I ordered stamps from them at the beginning of November and it took them well over a week to get to me.

61AnnieMod
Dic 10, 2021, 7:25 pm

>60 amanda4242: Yes - which is why I went to the post office yesterday - I did not realize I am out so I did not order mine on time. But if we are talking about getting your supply replenished on stamps for the future, a week or two delay is not a problem.

62Nicole_VanK
Dic 11, 2021, 2:02 am

Sent. It's international, but to a "near neighbour" country so maybe it will get there in time.

63Peace2
Dic 11, 2021, 8:22 am

Mine have all gone in the post today.

64thornton37814
Dic 11, 2021, 12:36 pm

65kristilabrie
Modificato: Dic 11, 2021, 1:58 pm

>56 hredwards: I will check and try messaging them privately to fill in their entry. Will report back if they let me know they've done so! Or you can keep checking periodically for the next week or two.

ETA: the address has already been updated (I messaged them earlier for another member), so you're all set to send that one out now!

66kristilabrie
Dic 11, 2021, 1:59 pm

>38 dianeham: I believe your missing address was the same as hredwards' below. Please check again and let me know if you need anything else.

67GwynFraser
Dic 11, 2021, 2:08 pm

Are there any rules or guidelines about what you should or should not write in cards? I'm thinking particularly about LT names, real names, email addresses and so on.

68AnnieMod
Dic 11, 2021, 2:12 pm

>67 GwynFraser: If is on their profile page or on their address as provided by them, it’s fair game. If it is not, I would not use it unless I know the person and know they won’t mind.

If you ask anoint your own - I add LT Name and and my real name to my cards. If you want to add more or less, it is up to you. :)

I managed to get ours in the mail today.

72TooLittleReading
Dic 12, 2021, 3:49 pm

For the international stamps:
If you're in the US and can't get them, they can meter it at the post office OR you can use three (3) US forever stamps to make up the postage. Unless your card is overweight or oversized, then I'd use four (4).

73TooLittleReading
Dic 12, 2021, 3:53 pm

>67 GwynFraser: I put my real name, my LT name, and a literary quote in each card. You should write what you're comfortable with sharing.

74nrmay

The last of my cards are stamped, addressed, and ready to go out in tomorrow's mail.

This is my first year participating, and I'm excited! I haven't sent out holiday cards in years, so this will be fun. Mine are being mailed tomorrow. I signed up at the last minute — next year, I'll be more prepared and request international too. ♥

Sent half of mine Friday and the others will go out tomorrow, I love doing this! (Why is it so fun sending cards when you volunteer to do it, but not fun at all sending cards that you 'have' to send? Or is that just me? lol)

I'm sad so many of my friends quit sending Christmas cards. I love them! They just add a spot of cheer. Lately there are several opportunities to send/receive cards on Facebook with the requirement to include a recipe. I participated in one of those exchanges last year. This year I just did the one on one exchanges with friends offering to do it one on one.

83nrmay
Dic 14, 2021, 2:43 pm

I love Christmas cards and greetings though I've lapsed in sending many, or any, through the years.
But sharing LT cards has inspired me to make an effort this year and I'm sending cards to family and friends, especially ones I don't see often.
My first LT card arrived today - a beautiful and creative hand-made card from Tracey.
Thank you! I so appreciate the very special card and message.

84NorthernStar

Still straggling here. I have cards ready to go, just need to get through the snow and ice to the post office on a day I'm well enough to do so. Bah!

If it weren't for the phrase "better late than never," I'm not sure I'd ever get anything done.

>126 WeeTurtle: I hope you feel better soon! I'm sure your cards will be a delightful surprise to your recipients, when you're able to get them out. :)

>127 kristilabrie: They are away!...with an unnecessary number of stamps but Canada Post released a Margaret Atwood stamp this year and I felt like using it.

>131 bnielsen: I got my 2nd card yesterday. VickySaintAnge even include a tea bag (In Danish the word tea bag is tebrev = tea letter, so that matched this card perfectly :-)

>130 WeeTurtle: Ohhh good choice! I finally read The Handmaid's Tale last year (for the first time; much too late but better late than never), now I have to read the sequel because of the way it ended.

>132 kristilabrie: I refuse to read it, since I know it's not something I want to read about. I'm curious about the sequel though, since it was written so much later.

I've read Surfacing and Oryx and Crake, along with some of her poetry. Now I'm reading her book on Canadian Literature. ;)

A great day to receive a card. It's cold, dark and dreary today. 🦊🌲Thank you, WeeTurtle.

>134 kristilabrie: Surfacing I wasn't sure about, but I find myself recalling it from time to time so I might read it again. Oryx and Crake I enjoyed, such that I'm not really sure I want to read the rest of the trilogy (it was just the one book at the time), since I enjoyed the open ending.

Unusual Saturday delivery here - Canada Post must be trying to catch up or something. Delivery has been VERY irregular lately. Anyway, I got a fun home-made card from Jennifer in MO (no LT name listed), for which I am very grateful :) The cat on it is hilarious! Love it.

I've now received 7 cards (I think I should get 10, which is what I sent)

Someone has managed to knock over our post box. Not sure how as it's one of three and in the middle. The other two seem fine. It landed face up, so I can still check for mail but I'm not sure if the postal workers are bothering to put anything in right now.

I was away for 2 weeks and got back to a pile of mail that included my last cards, plus a bonus card! None of them had LT names, but many thanks to Nicole (Ala.), Alex (NC), Debbie (Ohio), and Sharon (Ariz).
