I am in.
But I think this is just a ploy by you, Zeek, and Sooner to get another hunky Santa Chirstmas card from me.
Offhandedly intrigued: request for elaboration.

It was actually the first year I've *ever*, as in my whole life, sent out holiday cards. It's AWESOME getting funny, silly, weird or downright dirty cards from folks, to stack up on my little table. I never used to get anything, so now I have lots. It's great fun.
Please read my FEAR/Portal/HalfLife Fan Fiction!

Also if you wish you can e-mail holiday cards. This way if money is tight for postage, or you would rather not give out mail info people can still send and get holiday wishes.|

Vyx has always been to one to collect everyone's info and send out the list to everyone who wishes to participate.
I'm in again, as I loved it last year.
Explanation appreciated.

This is why I'm mentioning it now - there were several people last year who wanted to send cards, but couldn't. This gives a heads up to start saving now for that |

I hate how the replys don't say who you are replying to.

I completely missed that... and yeah - I don't like that either.

Starting early this year I see. You know Nomme and I are in. ^_^
If somebody you're arguing with goes off the deep end, don't follow.
Us too. We really enjoyed getting all of the cards last year.

Incidentally, how many people signed up last year?

And yes Kid, I was thinking about it and decided to do a preliminary post now as opposed to later. I know of several people last year who wanted to send paper cards but couldn't because of lack of monies for cards and postage, which is why I'm mentioning this now so there's time to save up for postage, look for cards on extreme sales, etc.
I'll post the "official" post for this in a month or so. If anyone's on the fence about participating, this gives you some time to think about it. It's been a lot of fun since I came up with this idea a couple of years ago. In fact, I remember thinking about not doing it one year, and several people were about to hit me over the head for not continuing to spearhead this.

My favorite part is seeing what cards people send. Some people send cards that they create, others send stock cards out of boxes, others send cards that they pick out for each person, and some folks send V-cards. To me it doesn't matter what kind of card it is, I love them all just for the fact that they cared enough to send one.

After I opened up that card there was enough white stuff to build a Snowbeast.
Hulkers and I are in as usual.

But I'm mentioning this now for those who might be interested so that there's time to save up for cards, stamps and whatnot. |
Sorry, had to wrest control of keyboard away from my evil twin brother.
I'm in.
Sometimes, I impress my boss. Sometimes, I impress myself. The rest of the time, I scare people. I can live with that.
Signups are now officially open! The rules are slightly different this year - I've enlisted some help in gathering the information in this handy form here. I'm the only one who can see the list, so don't worry on that front.
Signups close November 20th to give everyone time to make and send cards out. Go. Hunt. Make. Cards! (I couldn't resist!)
