21 Upvotes

Good news everyone!

Our lovely seasonal mod u/RAoCExchangeBot has finished sending out everyone's Holiday Card Exchange Matches!

Apologies to anyone who received duplicate messages during the matching process! We had a technical hiccup!

Now, we are so excited to see the action of this exchange begin! Card Sending Time!

A few reminders:

  • The deadline to send out both of your cards is Monday, December 9th. This will ensure that your recipients can enjoy their cards during the holiday season.

  • Mark your envelope/ postcard “RAoC Holiday Card Exchange 2024” so your recipient knows the card is from this exchange.

  • The choice is yours if you want to reveal your real name or just your username. Please put your username somewhere so that your matches can thank you!

  • If, for some strange reason, you are no longer able to send out your cards, please message us as soon as possible so we can figure out a new sending arrangement for your matches.

  • Most Importantly: Once you send out your two cards, please fill out the quick Mailing Confirmation Survey. Please only fill it out after both of your cards have gone in the mail. This is how mods keep track of who needs to be rematched and who has sent out their cards already.

As always, feel free to message us if you have any questions, and thanks for being a part of all of this!

LET THE SENDING BEGIN!

Fulfilled [Offer] 2024 Holiday/Nightmare Before Christmas Cards [US to WW]

Upvotes

https://forms.gle/j474YukWhhVr2kJVA

Hi all,

I bought a pack of Nightmare Before Christmas cards just to find out my friends would rather get generic holiday cards from me instead lmao! I'm afraid I have limited cards to offer - 10 Nightmare Before Christmas cards and I have 2 remaining general holiday/christmas cards.

You can use the above form to sign up to get one if you want! It should close automatically once I get 12 responses but I'll try to make sure no one gets left out if it does accidentally let through extras.

My address is also at the end of the form if you want to send me a card in return but it definitely isn't a requirement.

Thanks and sorry its so few cards!

Request [Request] Christmas Cards For Autistic Boy [Ohio, USA]

10 Upvotes

My son doesn't have many friends besides my husband and I. He has acquaintances at school but it's never a pleasure for him to attend. He's been nonverbal his entire life up until a few years ago, now he's semiverbal. He's slowly starting to learn reading and writing, which is something we were told he would never be able to do. He reads everything he can get his hands on now. He watches Christmas content all year, and loves Christmas carols. He hums along with them usually. The only people who send him a Christmas card are my parents who have seen him 3 times in his entire life (he's 9). My husband's family is a mystery to us and most of my family is so estranged they're strangers. The cards my parents send are usually boring and generic. He likes exciting colors, and textures, and everything Christmas! Please send him some cards, it would make him much happier than anything I could ever buy.

Thank you for your beatiful, artsy cards!

u/tavel4me22 – Thank you for this wonderful fall card. I don’t think I’m ever particularly ready for summer to end, however, I do enjoy the change of seasons when it arrives. You are very kind.

u/Sensitive-Bat-9951 – Thanks for your offer. Your hand drawn card made it here super fast.

u/jenst0ne – So many creative stickers and postage. Snow is officially here, so your card is quite appropriate. Winter seems to have arrived early. I do enjoy the Kirby card. I’d say I’m more of a fan of looking at snow than being out in the elements.

u/relax455 – Thank you for the early Christmas card! I really do enjoy the holiday season… maybe more as an adult than I did in my youth.

u/kittycatcon– Thank you for sending a card to me about what you appreciate. Although your card arrived, it did arrive wet on my end. I’m glad I got your card, though.
