@Ringo16 sent an LP geometric card: Grand Canyon Railway in Williams, AZ, thank you Jess! Iām sorry for the loss of your Grandmother. Thank you hugging your puppers for me. 
I hope things have begun to settle down for you a bit.

My first December cards have arrived.
#4 @hootnoodle - Mary sent seasonās greetings under a beaded wallet by a local Native American tribe. We finally got the last of the outdoor decorations up today after watching the last quarter final football (soccer for Americans) game. Iām lagging behind in getting the inside decorated.
#7 @nursegarry - Garry sent a rug woven of the American flag. The reason that the stars are different is because of the warp ends are sent pretty widely - anywhere from 4 - 8 ends per inch - and if you use handspun yarn, it can compress differently depending on how it was spun.

#7 @nursegarry - a festive view of LAās Olvera Street. Thank you. We were there in 2019. After seeing some national parks, we visited one of my husbandās cousins who lives in downtown LA. He is a commercial architect, and was a super tour guide for the downtown area!

@hootnoodle Your card illustrates a perfect evening! We arenāt doing any decorating this year. Itās a little much with my husband still recovering from his stroke. Itās funny your son is in Seattle; my daughter lives there too!
@Sunshein I have this postcard book! I am just thrilled to get a card out of it! Thank you! Your idea of travel sounds like mine, just my husband and me at our own pace. We love road trips.

I received from #5 @Ringo16

#3 @Sunshein
Soccer is really the one sport I actively enjoy, but somehow never found a team to support except for whenever the US is in a world event.
#4 @hootnoodle
Such a cute penguin! I feel like Christmas decorating is never really over. Iāll be putting more stuff out until the 26th it seems.
#5 @roxy
I love these types of vintage cards, I used to be heavily into collecting the originals a few years back and have a decent sized collection of off beat ones (the ones with Santa were always too expensive).
#7 @nursegarry
Iād have to check the date of this painting but around this time there was a style of dress specifically featuring a āpigeon breastā so I bet thatās what the artist was going for.

Yikes! 3 days without reporting and I have soooo many cards!
December group:
@Beachyblonde I donāt know if I am ready or not. lol. I need to pull out all my purchases so far and see what I actually have. I know I still need to get my girls their yearly pajamas. And I think one more gift each and I have nothing so far but stocking stuffers for my partner. Other than that, Iām in pretty good shape as long as I can remember to mail my brother his package!
@LaurenceB I love how the competitive ones of us try really hard to justify different things to fulfill challenges. I do the same thing for other people. Itās cold here; well not by your standards!
@hootnoodle We visited the Nixon library one year during the holidays. The decorations were amazing and a different themed tree in each room!
@missedith17 Candles work! Iāll miss it when you donāt ramble about overthinking my challenge. Or you can always do what some other people do and try to justify how something is similar so therefore it works. The competitive among usā¦makes me laugh!
@alcott1 (at least I think itās this RR; please let me know your number if it is for the big december one.). I love the look of old cards and have so much fun displaying the yearly cards with such a variety between the new and old.
@anon95639744 (I think itās for this RR as there is no number) It has been YEARS since Iāve been through the redwoods. I did a bear stroll through our campground in Mammoth a few years ago when I got up in the night to use the facilities. And of course I left my phone/camera in the tent! Fun fact, this particular postcard seems to be the most popular bear card and I think yours brings me up to 9 of them received. I love it. Secretly trying to see how many I can collect!

@Beachyblonde making sock snowmen sounds like fun! Every now and then working with the littles sounds tempting. Thank you for the cute card.
Yes, December does just fly by! I have 4 days until my winter break.
Thank you for the card. I like vintage and vintage style.

#3 @missedith17 - a great view of Stonehenge, before there was a low fence around it. Thank you. It was impressive despite the fence when we saw it in 1995.

This was the big December RR, and my number is 27. I get really confused about what RRās Iām dealing with, too, which means Iām in too many of them, but I love them and am not giving them up. Have a great holiday and a mailbox full of postcards.

Received from:
#2 @Beachyblonde Thank you for the comic postcard about story structure! I love jokes that are self-aware
#3 @missedith17 Thank you for the flamingo postcard! Hope youāre staying warm this holiday season!
#4 @hootnoodle Thank you for the Washington state map postcard! Iāve been to Seattle a couple of times but never fully traveled around! Iāll definitely have to rent a car sometime and road trip around!
#7 @nursegarry Thank you for the comic cover postcard! Iām actually a fan of the DC comic art style - like classic Batman! I can never get into American comics since thereās so many story lines about the same superhero, but I do read a lot of Japanese comics/manga!
#11 @anon95639744 Thank you for the Strange Planet comic postcard! I love Nathan Pyle and follow him āreligiouslyā on Instagram! Iām going to put the postcard by my houseplants to motivate them to grow

@scoutingbear I am glad we have Charmin instead of corncobs or the Sears catalog (which is what my grandmother used as a girl).
Thanks for the great vintage card.
