    So there are 14 of us which means 13 cards to send. I had a bunch of cards leftover last year so I just pulled them out to count how many I have...

    I have 12.
    Last year I got my cards from the freebie table in my office; they had several boxes. So far no boxes of cards this year but they have had some loose cards sitting there for a while. Just looked at lunchtime and found a cute puppy Christmas card. Now to decide who deserves such cuteness...

      Yeepers... I went to the post office and to get 20 international stamps for you unruly mob and half a dozen other friends cost me £50!! At least with them I can chuck all the cards into a bag since they're all going to the same place and whoever gets it can be Santa and distribute them stamp-free!

          I got the labels email, and I think I have enough assorted cards from previous years. But I’ll have to check. Apologies in advance if I send anyone the same card as last year.

              Last year I had two styles; I alternated pulling from each box as I went through the list and had 12 leftover. So there's approximately a 50/50 chance that people who participated last year will get the same card.

                Any thoughts on the chance we will remember which cards we got last year?

                    Me personally? Zero.

                    I got a card from Karl today.

                          I don't even remember what I had for lunch today, so the chances of me remember cards from last year are next to nothing. Although I did find some cards I've been meaning to send out for a while but never got around to it. I still haven't gotten stamps, work has been kicking my behind the last several days but the cards -- and a small little gift -- are all set up and just waiting for me to get stamps.

                          Also got Karl's card as well.
                          Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

                              I got Taxguykarl’s card this weekend. It prompted me to get my cards in the mail today.
                              "I look at the stars. It's a clear night and the Milky Way seems so near. That's where I'll be going soon. "We are all star stuff."
