Time got away with me a bit over the festive season so I've got a small stack of lovely cards received that I didn't get around to thanking yet. All of these gave me so much joy over the festive season lovely door smiles

u/mininglab You must be getting card crazy because you apologised for forgetting to send the card previously but you actually did! So it was a joy to receive a second card from you! There are lots of beautiful parts of the UK, I do hope you make it over some day.

u/poisonouskey I love the postcard of the Cathedral Spires, I'm always so in awe of such epic rock faces and would love to see these in person someday. My favourite place on earth is Yosemite but you have so much more beauty in the US, and I would love to visit again and do a mega tour to see so much more.

u/spitzruten Thank you for my very first postcard from Russia! It's always a joy seeing stamps and postmarks from a country for the first time, and I enjoyed the facts about Russian folk craft and traditional russian shawls.

u/crochetcatscoffee I loved your Christmas memory as I've have always wanted to make a gingerbread house from scratch but always been a bit intimidated. I hope I can do this with my kids in a year or 2 when they aren't so wobbly! I hope you got to eat a bit after the dog had his share!

u/krebslovesfiesh Thank you for my first mail from Thailand! I am so impressed that you took pictures yourself and made them into postcards, I am going to copy your idea someday!

u/ajaysworld241 Thank you for my first ever actual Christmas card from raoc! I'm sorry to hear that the past year has been a bit tough for you, I can echo that feeling completely but I'm starting to feel that quite positive things will happen for me this year, and I hope they do for you too x

u/feellikebeingajerk Thank you for the new year's resolution exchange, plus the mini card and stickers you sent me. I hope it's not going tough giving up fizzy pop so far for you. I remember when I visited the US a few years back and being so shocked that a huuuuuuge cup of mountain dew was cheaper than a bottle of water in a gas station so I know it will be tough when it's everywhere. You can do it though!

u/constantcraver I must have been a very good girl this year as I was blessed to receive both a Christmas card AND a happy new year card from you! Thank you so much for both of them! Is it still hot where you are at this time of year or do you get Christmassy weather? I can't imagine your state ever gets snow but I'm happy to be proven wrong. It's been so mild here in England over the Christmas season so it does lose a bit of magic for me without the crispness, but I know plenty parts of the world can enjoy the holidays without frost and snow so I should be able to also. I am aiming to be somewhere super cold next Christmas though, possibly Yosemite or Norway or somewhere else with a great chance of snow. Happy new year, I hope it's a great one for you x
