I’m curious where my cards have been…only a handful seem to have arrived so far. At least some of them DID arrive, which tells me they at least made it into the system! I read that the USPS delays are only packages and letters are supposed to be unaffected. :woman_shrugging:

Anyway, updates from #15!

@ChristineC #2 Thank you for the Christmas card! Yes, I’m not spending Christmas with anyone but my roommates this year either. I was invited to my sister’s boyfriend’s family Christmas (they’re keeping it small this year, they usually invite their whole extended family but this year it will be just them four as her boyfriend is an only child) but I won’t be attending as I am unable to isolate prior to going. I’m honestly pretty bummed because I love their dog, but hopefully my sister will send me pictures. :dog2:
@emotis #10 Thanks for the Christmas card! My plans this winter include staying in, studying, and GETTING VACCINATED! Here’s to a healthy 2021!
@TravelingKatie #18 I love this Salem card! It has an adorable cutout of a crescent moon. Unfortunately the machinery ate a corner of the card, but you wrote the address so high up that none of the text got taken off. Enjoy your candles!

169

first class mail is also affected. :confused:

I’m not too surprised to hear that. Thank you for confirming.

#17 received 3 cool cards today

#4 angeldreamer 3 cool little (gnomes? trolls? ) wishing “Merry Christmas from Oologah Oklahoma”

#26 mebertram a retro winter holiday card: a traditional snowman with coal for his nose, and holding a candy cane, and a little doe visiting, eyeing up the candy cane

#27 PamUSAOhio a “word” card, says “Have yourself a Merry little Christmas” in Christmas colors, and with snowflakes and holly decorations. You said you got your first snow. We got our second, and as far as I am concerned, we’ve now had more than enough. The first snow showed up in November and was 2 or 3 inches. The snow we got Wednesday into Thursday here was about 12-13 inches. Ugh.

#8 Shesa-Renegade checking in with some wonderful cards! Each of these made me smile.

#5 @carolreader sent an awesome public radio card! YES! I listen to public radio all the time, although not as much as I used to because it is the go-to station in my car. Love your quirky sense of humor.

#21 @mebertram sent a pretty illustration of a white bunny sitting beneath a beautiful blue sky. This looks so peaceful that I wish I could crawl inside and breathe in the crisp air.

#25 @jocrafts sent a funny 2020 is elfed up postcard. My family has been Covid-free so far. Everyone in the family (even though we are scattered from coast to coast) has really taken it seriously and no one has been sick yet. Here’s to hoping that the vaccine gets to us all soon.
