I think it would be fun to exchange holiday cards with PF members. If you wish to participate just reply in this thread and other participating members can contact you personally to exchange mailing addresses. I'll try to participate as much as I can.

ps. if you get a "sciencey" card you must take a photo of it and share here :)

I am so excited to hear this. I would love it if I could get one big card from anyone in this coming holy season. Please PM me for the address and don't forget to tell me yours, so we can exchange each other's cards.

I've already sent @jgens, @Evo, and @WannabeNewton cards. If you would like one from me, Greg, do PM me your address so I can get it out as soon as possible.
 
And @Greg Bernhardt 's card is in the mail, probably right now at the sorting center in Lower Hutt.

I bought the cards and will send you and wolram tomorrow. Hopefully they'll come to you before Christmas. But don't worry the cards are also printed with a message "Happy New Year".
I'm very happy now :DD:biggrin:.

Looking to get cards out second week of Dec
It would be neat to send PF cards to non-PF members if there were one. Maybe an item to consider adding to the Physics Forums Shop.

You inboxed me and gave me your address and :frown: I already sent you a card, which you will probably receive in the next two weeks.

If you'd have sent me your address that I requested you would have had another one from me.
Wow! That's a piece of incorrect grammar! Sorry guys, no idea what type of conditional to use

But that makes me think you and many more people are probably sharing the same wolram account on PF to control us.:oldcry:

Still awaiting cards in the mail. At this time of year, NZ Post gets behind in international mail (working at Te Puni Mail Centre last Christmas, stuff that was suppose to arrive early morning for sorting and dispatch that day came during the day. It is because the International Mail Centre in Auckland is swamped, and the cards/parcels are manually sorted). I'm sure they will arrive eventually.

The card arrived today -- thank you Greg!

You're expecting his card like a dry field in need of water (sorry if my comparison sounds silly :DD).

Would you like to receive a card from me too ? I would love to send you one, which will probably come to you some time early next year.

Thank you! Your card should reach you between 3 - 10 working days, as an estimate. Because it was sent the 24th, it might be still waiting to be sent from NZ (Friday, Saturday, and today (Monday) are public holidays).

I just received a card from Sophia. Thank you Sophia so much for the lovely poem and your wishes.
That your postcard picture is told to be painted by handicapped people really makes your exchanged gift more meaningful to me in this season. Thank you for that too. :smile:

@Silicon Waffle -- received your card today! Thank you!

(To be honest, I didn't know NZ Post was doing delivery today, given it is a public holiday.)
