As ususal on something of this nature, I've got everything but the stamps. I'm going to stop by the Post Office on Monday (can't find anywhere else that has stamps) and I'll get all of these out by next weekend.
The Abrams is one of the most effective war machines on the planet. - R. Lee Ermy.
Q: How do you wreck an Abrams?
A: You crash into another one.
Got my first ever card from New Zealand! 
Ok so it may have been printed and mailed from the US. But the digital 0's and 1's came from there!
I still have more cards to mail out.

There's a nasty rumor started by my evil twin that I might have mailed cards already. This is obviously not true. I'm waiting til the cards go on sale the day after Christmas.

That's just peachy
Got a wonderful card from Nomme and Kid today.
Thank you.
Displaying it with the others (lead lined ammo can, buried in the back yard).

I got Kid and Nomme's card, thanks. And a strange little box post marked from VA. Thanks G.A. When I opened the box there was snow inside! Or at least I think it was snow. It was white and powdery, so it must be snow right?
Do you think I should go to the hopistal?

Probably not a good idea. It would raise your insurance premiums.

Well done.
The kids loved the little extras you also sent.
I had them fight over who got which through a friendly little joust using daqtaghs.

No. Keep the insurance premiums down.
I do have a question though. did the card jump out at her?

Looks like I'm getting an early (or is it late?) Christmas Present.
I just found out that I was put in for, and received a time off award for 4 days off.
It was approved back on January 3rd of last year this year...
It appears that the policy is that you cannot tell the employee that they were submitted for an award. If it’s a cash award you get it in your pay, automatically. But a time off award... unless you know where to look in government web sites you just don’t know.
I have to use it before the end of the year. So I’m taking the next 4 days off.
Also just checked the mail... Kids were home for hours, and didn't check. Darn kids why did I have them anyway?
I got a nice sock that I'm hanging on the fireplace right next to the big ones. Thank you very much Cavern & Pax it's wonderful.
I've also learned that I need to go back to school and relearn Geography. Never knew that New Zealand was part of Iowa. Thank you Comrade Hero it's a wonderful card.

p.s.
I tried to get a different quote on everyone's candy bar. but frankly I ran out of ideas after a dozen or so.

Okay all, My cards will be going out this weekend, Monday at the latest. Hopefully they'll get to everyone in time, the only one I am kinda worried about is Comrade Hero's.
Anyways, I was feeling bad about not doing anything special this being the first time doing this and all, but last night at 2:30 am while driving my forklift I was "inspired" and I hope you will all enjoy my little rewrite of The Night Before Christmas inserted with all your cards. Oh and so far I have received Stalemate and Cassiopea's, Yeti's, and Zekiran's. I have to say after reading this thread I'm kinda of scared to get Golden Ace's and have warned my father-in-law to keep an eye out at the post office for any extra highly suspicious packages.
