This was an absolute blast! Who would think that such a simple thing as receiving a Christmas card in the mail could generate a surplus of HAPPY emotions. It truly felt like I was the receiver of little tiny presents🎁 everyday that I went to the mailbox, but in an unexpected way like the way it must feel to win money on a Lotto Ticket (I wish that I knew that joy as well😶).
Gosh, you all delighted me! Thank you!

Thank you Elisabeth ❤️😘 the bookmark is so cute! I checked on a map I had it the right way round.
I posted something for you last week- hopefully be there soon 🤞🏻

tpixie @TrishB @eanderson love this! I showed my husband- I said do you think this is Mississippi? He said,‘ I was going to say Indiana‘. I think he‘s right! ??? (edited) 3y

eanderson @tpixie that is cute! Lol! I told my husband and he said he could see how you thought it was Mississippi. @TrishB you‘re welcome! It was made by a gal here in Fort Wayne and thought it was kind of cool! 3y
Redwritinghood My home state of Indiana! Very cute. 3y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm 😍 My state never looked so cute! 3y
TrishB @eanderson it‘s very cute ❤️ need to find a book based in Indiana now 😁 3y
TrishB @Redwritinghood @MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm you need to go and buy one now 😁 3y
eanderson Not many books that I know of from Indiana, unless it‘s random history but John Green is from Indianapolis (our state capital). He has several books set in Indiana. I‘m not much into YA but I absolutely loved 3y
TrishB @eanderson I‘ve read all John Green‘s as my daughter loves them ❤️ 3y
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm I definitely do!! 😍 I‘m not too sure of many books actually based in my state, but another author we can brag about is the poet, James Whitcomb Riley. ❤️ 3y
tpixie @TrishB yay! He‘s so good with the States!! 3y
tpixie @eanderson tell your husband that was kind of him! In terrible at geography. My husband is great with the states! I need to practice on an app more! 3y

This is what it looks likes so far for the Holiday Card Swap 2020.⬆️ Some said hello. Some wished good health. Some had a personal message. Some were home-crafted. Some traveled many miles to get here....while some came from just around the way. Some included stickers. And some included a bookmark. All came with holiday cheer!
I am amazed and ever thankful for my Litsy Family❣️💚🎄🙏🏽💕

Nute @Crazeedi That‘s a cool approach. Why didn‘t you tell me earlier? I would have done the same thing. It will be a shower of cheer!😁 3y
mommyincolortv They're really lovely. All the ones I got so far are beautiful as well. A couple had bookmarks too! 3y
LibrarianRyan Yeaahhhhh 3y

Christmas and ghosts - what a nice combination! Theroux gets it how to bring Christmas spirit into his story, while still giving thr reader a little shiver down the spine. An enjoyable read if you're up to this kind of story.

#CardSwap - Holiday Season 2020: Oh, the absolute, pure, and overflowing joy at the discovery of SELF-SEALING envelopes in Christmas card boxes.🤗 I practically did a backflip...well, not an actual backflip, but I thought about what it might be like to do a backflip for reasons of unexpected glee.😆
So...Forty-one plus two cards are heading to the Post Office tomorrow. Yay! Good Mail! ✍🏽✉️📬💝

S3V3N I‘ve received 2 already and mailed mine Friday. #excited 3y
KVanRead I somehow missed hearing about this swap until today — dang! It is right up my alley! I will definitely look out for it next year!! 3y
Lauram @KVanRead I missed it too! I was in this swap 2 years ago and loved getting Christmas cards and notes from Littens. 3y

Nute @BeaG It is exciting to send these Christmas cards, and it will be equally as exciting to receive some.🤗 3y
S3V3N @Nute I agree. This is my first time participating. 3y
Nute @KVanRead @Lauram I can‘t believe that I found my way to this swap in time for signups. I miss everything on Litsy. This is my first time participating in the Holiday Card Swap & for all its simplicity it is actually quite exciting. I definitely have some cards leftover. I would like to send a card to both of you. If you are okay with that please reply with your email addresses so we can connect. No worries if you prefer to wait until next year.😊 (edited) 3y
KVanRead How lovely of you @Nute I would love to send a card to you and to you too @Lauram my email is kristinevandusen at gmail dot com 3y
Nute Got it! 3y
Lauram It is exciting and I hope it makes your holiday that much happier. I so appreciate the offer from you and @KVanRead - I‘ll definitely get it on it next year. ☺️ 3y
Nute @Lauram Already looking forward to exchanging cards with you next year!🙂 3y

It's been 10 months since I last Litsied, and while I'm never quite sure what it means when people say "life happened ", I think that is what did happen... But then, a few days ago, this Christmas card came from @ju.ca.no , which was so kind and unexpected, and made me realize I needed to get back to the Litsy world. Thank you so much for the card, @ju.ca.no ,that was really lovely of you ???

Lcsmcat We‘ve missed you! I hope you‘ve still been able to read, even if you couldn‘t talk about it here. 4y
