It's only as over as you make it. Some of us are still sending stuff out. I'm sending out Christmas cards until at least the end of the year. Probably longer if stamps remain in short supply at my post office. (Merry Extended Christmas, goons!)

Post your address and I can promise you'll at least get one card!

I was going to take an informal poll after New Year's as to whether or not to start a new one, but this thread has survived almost a year so far, so I think we can just continue on.

Activity does slow down in between big holidays, but I (and quite a few other goons) enjoy sending mail all year. I for one plan to begin preparations for my Valentine's Day mail very soon.

I was thinking about this too! To find either the most fantastic, or corniest valentines I can and then send them out with other pink and red goodies!

But onward with Christmas! Thanks so much to Dream Phone and Rather Tonic for these cards containing my avatar! I'm so glad my SASS Santa bought the avatar for me (it's my Twitter avatar), as it's been great to see you all design with it!





Also, I got cards from Miryei, Molten Llama, Pillory Soft, and Andrew "Garbage Day" Miller just today! It's been an overload of Christmas spirit (and tattoos and stickers and coloring pages hehe) and I'm grateful to every one of you for it! I'll get more cards out tomorrow morning before I leave town. They may not make it before Christmas, but there's nothing wrong with extending the season a bit.

Will be going out of town tomorrow and won't return until after the new year, so I won't be able to check my mail- but I will report anything that's arrived when I return.

Got my first piece of goonmail today! I think this is the only one that will arrive before Christmas, which is lovely because it means the holiday cheer will (hopefully) continue to arrive well after everyone else's Christmas is over! Ha!

Thank you to Aulus! Your card is hilarious and I will keep it until the end of time. Seriously.

Thank you to all the lovely Goonfolk and their fantastic mail! I'm in the midst of a move to Chicago, finally, where I won't be moving so drat much!

New address is 2409 S. Hoyne Apt. 303 Chicago, IL 60608

and I'll be sure to tell my roommate to add my SA username to the mailbox! She's already there, so feel free to send me some Goonstuffs to look forward to. Once I'm in the big city I plan on adventuring out for strange things to send to all those who thought of me (and more)!

And a big ol' thanks to lamb. The Goon Mail Exchange is a brilliant idea, you deserve the Nobel Prize for this.

I have never been quite so tempted to randomly show up on a stranger's doorstep with cookies, ha ha.

I never did get those last cards out, but I want to send some goons nice chatty letters. Hopefully we can keep the goonmail coming :shobon:

Oh good. You probably will get more now that your address is sorted. Did you get mine?? It hasn't come back so I'm hoping that it found it's way to you. I just get scared that some people take it instead of putting 'return to sender, addressee not here' on it! Those people are baddies! And it's actually highly illegal to open someone else's mail, but it's a very difficult crime to catch someone doing, so most people don't give a poo.

The people who arrived at this thread for xmas cards should probably let us know if they want to continue with goon mail, because we carry this thread through the year and observe all manner of holidays and non-holidays. So if you only intended to participate in the xmas card exchange, drop a line and inform lamb if you want to be removed from the list. But I highly encourage you to stick around, the awesomeness that is goon mail goes all year long!

And there was discussion awhile ago as to whether we should make a new thread, or keep with this one. I vote keep with this one. Lamb is still around, and still very active (in fact, she's a snail mail powerhouse) and she has done a lot of work putting the address list up online, and keeping it maintained nearly to the day. So I don't personally feel there's any reason to carry over into a new thread. My 2c. :)

I didn't get yours, I'm afraid! I'm happy to wait longer, though. Maybe it'll get returned to you or something. Who knows! But, please don't worry about it! It's the thought that counts!

I definitely plan to stick around for more card spamming after this! I love sending cards and shopping for flat, cardsized goodies.

I don't mind if we keep this thread or make a new one... so long as it's easy to find the new one.

My father in law is thrilled with the stamps from all over the world and I found my list that has some names on it to send stuff to and then I can update with lambs newest list.

I figured this is the snailmail / holiday mail thread, you can send out wether it is christmas or not and you will be target audience for random internet idiots.
For example: I draw on postcards, but you will have to name the subject. Name one and receive a card. been a while, so if you requested in the past let's pretend I forgot and request again!

Just found a pile of goonmail sitting inside my entranceway. We've either had a rather interesting home invasion, or my roommate checked the mail before I got up this morning.

Thank you to When Worlds Collide, Team Lunch, and Aunt Buck. Absolutely love all your cards! They were all addressed to 1904 which was before my address correction, so I'm amazed (and delighted) that they got here!

WWC, your card is adorable! I love the sparkles, and the dolphin confetti. How did you know I'm a huge Peanuts fan?! Thank you!



Aunt Buck, your card was the shiniest one yet. It has a place of honour on my desk next to my copious amounts of Christmas chocolate. (Shameful chocolate not shown here.)


Team Lunch, your card made me laugh really hard, because I am especially apeshit over those 'facial expression never changes' things/jokes... And also because the cat was named Chrissy, which was my nickname for the first 18 years of my life. Thanks again.


I have more mail to go out, and I'm definitely sending out my holiday cards until at least the end of the year. Hope no one minds! It just means there will be more cards sent out!

Now on to the thank you's! Some local mail from caramelbread, a recipe card from Miryei, and a card from Team Lunch (yes I think Batman is very festive)!

And man oh man. This morning there was a small bulgy envelope addressed to cardboardRobot in the mail! Inside I found an amazing octopus card as well as a finger tentacle from Andrew "Garbage Day" Miller. I could not stop smiling! Pictures to come most definitely!

I think I'll take a picture of all the goonmail I've gotten from the entire year starting from the valentine's day thread. I can't thank everyone enough for all the joy it's been to find goonmail in my mailbox. For the past year I've been eagerly checking the mail every day. I hope the goonmail doesn't stop!
