I need to start doing cards! I wonder if international cards will still make it... They should, right?
What does your Christmas card list look like?

Except for yours Brian, as I know your dislike for them, Lamy Vista/1.1/Scribal Workshops Nessie.
Be pretty close, but maybe just.
It's the thought that counts, right? Even if they are late, it's still the Christmas season! I keep my lights up until January 6th, wouldn't mind getting a card even after that.
True, I have never minded getting a Christmas card a little late, always great to receive them.
If you like, Ed, drop me your address in a PM and I will send one from Aus.
I am in agreement with the gents above. Getting a Christmas card in January is not a big deal. Getting a Christmas card in February...you're off the list 
On a side note....I did a few cards with the Platinum Plaisir and it was not enjoyable. Not smooth, very skritchy, like writing on sandpaper almost. Which has been the case with this pen since I got it. I suspect it's a combination of the fine nib and my heavy hand writing style.
so anyway, I switched to a Parker Sonnet...... .7 Gel

I wouldn't be surprised if the ones I sent to Australia make it before the ones I sent to Canada...
I already got yours
Excellent! How did the ink on the envelope fare?
Was a okay.. no problems that I seen
Excellent. Non-water proof inks scare me a titch on envelopes.
It Seems that post from Canada IS actually pretty good it seems to only take a week or so to make it. I ended up posting 18 international cards, 8 Christmas postcards and a few local ones
I got 9 more ready to go. And 13 left.
first batch I sent out was 23 cards. This second batch will be 22 cards. All said and done I'll send 45 cards this year.
And all thanks to the original Christmas card exchange thread.
I figured since I'm sending to my B&B friends I might as well send to my other (less cool cause they are not on B&B) friends and family.
This is the first time I've ever sent Christmas cards. I think this will be the start of a great tradition. It takes some time but it's really enjoyable!
*46 cards...found another address.
