HUGE Christmas card swap

But with the send date the cards wouldn't reach any international destinations by Christmas. (At least I know they wouldn't coming from Canada :)

Yes they would. When I send international, usually about a week, maybe two. It seems cards/letters move faster. Now, Canada is a little "extra" slow sometimes, but not always.

No they wouldn't. You should allow AT LEAST 2 weeks for international mail, make it 4 during holiday season. I'm in Russia and mail from USA takes 4-5 weeks at normal time, and there's always slow down before Christmas.

I'm a bit the same, last year none of the Christmas cards that I sent after the first week of December made it to their destinations before Christmas. The same with cards sent to me, I was still receiving Christmas cards that had been sent mid december well into January. I would love to send out and receive 20 cards but I'm just a little concerned given my past experience with send dates last year that I wouldn't receive mine in return prior to Christmas if they weren't posted until Dec 11th from other countries. Even now most of my international mail takes 2.5 weeks from the USA and 3 - 6 weeks from other countries.

I do not agree with the dates but, I am putting on my watch list for now. This is in case the dates are changed. I do not want my partner receiving my cards in the year 2010 or myself.

ok, I've changed he send and signup dates......so you can send between November 27 & Dec 4.

Thanks so much for changing the dates @ozrob I'm really looking forward to this swap. I think I like receving Christmas Cards in the mail even more than I do presents on Christmas Day, lol :-)

depending on the number of participants if there are less than 20 by sign up day then I will adjust the number of partners to match the number signed up

I'm watching at the moment but will sign up closer to the deadline date :-)

Yeah, we're almost to 20!! :D

I wrote my return address on my 20 cards today. I can't wait for the swap to begin!!!

I'll go out and buy myself 20 cards tomorrow :D I can't wait to receive 20 cards from 20 different people ^.^

Sent mine right away in hopes that evryone receives them in time for Christmas!

Mine will go out tomorrow. I don't write much in my cards, "love" makes you all friends! (Instead of "cheers" or "sincerely") :)

Mine are going out tomorrow! Have em addressed and ready to drop at the PO!!!!

i can't believe I forgot to add the little bit of paper with the swap name on it to all my cards!!! So sorry to all my partners if I've made it difficult for you. If you receive a card from me without a swap name then it's for this one!!

Just dropped all my cards in the mail :D and I can't believe I have 3 so far XD I wanna wait til christams to open them lol >.>;;;

Not too bad... only flaked on by three people. Guess it could have been worse :)

Happy Holidays everyone

Only three flakers...not too bad for 20 partners I suppose. Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for the swaportunity.
