Hi everyone! I thought I signed up for SI Christmas cards, but I haven't received any instructions. How does this normally work?

Everything was updated on the Exchange thread here in Fun & Games (that red outlined one).

Your name is on the list, so you'll receive cards. The list of participants was posted back on November 4th, with a deadline of everyone's packages to be sent to the elves by December 1st.

I think there are quite a few people who will receive cards from others but didn't send any themselves. Things happen. Hopefully everyone receiving gets some much-needed joy from the cards others worked hard to put together. It's a really cool tradition.

2012 pretty much sucked.

It's too late to submit your cards for this year.

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Yes, I just read the thread and saw that. It's about par for how this month has gone.

There is always next year Enjoy your cards. I don't send them to receive them, as I expect most here feel, I send them because it puts a smile on my face. This is about giving, whether it's WOES and HT pulling Elf duty all on their own, people making handmade cards, or people sending out cards with no expectations of their return on investment. And everything Chili all ready said.

(If HT reads this yes, WOES gets top billing)

I think I'd get a little salty about people who renege multiple years, but I sure understand how a mistake can happen, or how life can explode and you have to triage just to keep your head above water.

The things I get back make me very happy, but they are icing on the cake. Enjoy your card.

I'm with Tred, I don't care if I get cards. I just wanna make people happy with mine!

I did mention this on the main thread, but I want to re-iterate my own apologies for failing to follow up on this. I was not accessing the site as frequently as I had been doing and it completely slipped my mind. Having not done it before, I too was anticipating an email as a reminder. That is no excuse, I know. But hopefully an explanation. As well as the shit show that is infidelity which means I still struggle to focus and my memory is down the tubes....yet I can still remember A dates, right???

I truly appreciate this forum and this group of people and I'm sorry for letting you down.

Still healing but in a better place
