Way less. Think it was $1.89 to the Philippines, so Canada should be less since they can drive there without flooding the engines. |

You would still have to buy Canadian stamps with Canadian money, and believe me, it might end up costing you more ! |

As a matter of fact, I could hand-deliver Stalemate's... but when I tried last year, I had some problems with the security system of his fortress, and almost got nailed by those %?&$% swivel-mounted laser beams...

And for those who think I know more than you do about Badge's whereabouts? I know only what's written on the list, the same as everyone else. For all I know, Badge could really live at the North Pole. Or he could live in Ish's basement. Or is that Ish living in Badge's basement? So please stop asking me.

Uhh wow, I didn't know stamps to the US were so expensive. That's well over 20$ for sending cards - and yeah, it's been a while since I've sent anything snail-mail!

Its cool. No need to send anything to the Badge Cave. Even if you did the mailman wouldn't give them to me. Ish bite him the last time he came around.
And I will for the record state I do not live at the North Pole....I only vacation there in the summer.
Okay - my cards are all addressed, signed, message written in every last one of em, as well as "COH Protector 2009" written on the backs of cards for those inclined to forget just which xmas card exchange list this card might be from. I've also made up all my other xmas cards tonight. Those nearer the end of the list...I apologize if my handwriting isn't awesome, my writing hand was getting TIRED by the time I finished...and my family cards were done after all the CoH cards - so feel for my family and the fun they will have reading my tired scrawled words.
If there are changes or additions - I haven't sent em yet (will likely hold off a couple days before mailing them out to give people a chance to go "oh crap, my address is wrong"). Badge, you aren't getting a card...I don't send out ecards - however, for those curious - he DID provide a working email address (at least he's sent me stuff from it once before...a long time ago). So - Badge, sorry you aren't getting a card from me, but Happy Holidays anyway!
Oh...I will say - this year's cards from me aren't nearly as exciting as last year's cards, no glitter and foamy figures from me this year (I'm sorry and you're welcome as appropriate).
If anyone would like a card from me but wants to feel no obligation whatsoever to send one in return - feel free to PM me your address and I'll send you a card. The Canadian addresses should all be written correctly (as per the way Riverdancer showed previously for best/fastest delivery in Canada). And...I'm done for now. I'm a bit punchy after all those cards, sorry for being babbly... whee

I have my cards... will work on them this weekend.
I've gotten THREE so far!
It may just be my handwriting wasn't legible enough at the post office - but Charlie & Kyo - can you double check the address as listed for you? I got your card back as "Return to sender, not deliverable as addressed, unable to forward".

Got them mailed yesterday - please let me know if you get them. Also, I'm apologizing to the 5 whose stamps are that white post office sticker - the attendant typed faster than I thought 
. Everyone else got Christmas stamps.

The one I sent just came back also. So either you and I both have really bad handwriting, or something is amiss.
My yellow label from the post office said return to sender, attempted - not known, unable to forward.
Of course, now I have Return to Sender stuck in my head! Damn that Elvis!

Funny I got Charlie's back but not Kyo's. . . I sent each one a card. . .I don't think that Charlie would want the same card that I sent to Kyo. hee hee hee
I got JJ Knight's card today.
Oh and Archi. . . What the ^%$#@ is a "Miga" on the stamp you used? No wonder no one takes Canada seriously.
So Charlie or Kyo need to create a new entry on the list using their real names if they want cards from everyone and not their RP names. Or tell the post office that they also go by those RP names.

Way less.
Think it was $1.89 to the Philippines, so Canada should be less since they can drive there without flooding the engines.
But to make sure, I would go to your local Post Office and ask.
Just for comparisons, it costs me $0.98 to mail an enveloppe from Canada to the US, or $1.65 overseas (no matter where).
Speaking of overseas, anyone heard about Globetrotter this year ?
