of course after reading this my creative mind went into over drive.
I was thinking pick a theme. All ages can almost participate. Such as..memories of Christmas past. Each family member in a specific household is to come up with something. A quick paragraph, a picture, a drawing, etc. Then color copy enough copies for the other households. So say, 5 families, five copies. Put into a legal size Manila envelope or agree on a priority mail size. Also include a receipe of the dish they love at Christmas. The younger kids can add drawings of Santa! Or a note they might send to Santa. So, basically a themed envelope that will be received before Christmas with instructions not to open until the 25th. Also, maybe, schedule calls or zoom it, early in the day so everyone can talk about how they spent their Christmas eve. I know these are trying times, especially during a family gathering holiday. With this envelope that arrives, at least everyone will have a tangible thing they can touch and look at all thru the day. Reading favorite recipes will make you think your having a meal. The older family members won't feel so far away. Think I just might pull this idea together with my family💝🎄🎁🍪

penpals etc.
I don't normally make suggestions in these threads but after reading them (curious) I am wondering with all these wonderful ideas why each member of peoples family and friends don't spend $30. on a camera and mike so you call chat live. Skype is free and it is great for keeping in touch and talking face to face. Just a thought. Amazon has tons.

Hi Pen Pal Types,
Just some snail mail news I thought you all might be interested in: I heard a story on NPR's Marketplace and it made me think of this group. They were talking about greeting cards during the time of Covid. A greeting card company owner (sorry I don't remember which one, but it wasn't Hallmark) said that sales have increased exponentially for sympathy cards and "thinking of you" type cards. The increase in sales of sympathy cards is a little macabre, although expected, I suppose. But "thinking of you" cards - maybe it's time to send out some (non-holiday) cards to the people on my holiday card list. I have also noticed that the greeting card section of the grocery store seems to be crowded lately. I had thought it was just the luck of the draw - lots of people crowding the aisle when I happened to be there - but maybe there's something more to it than that. Everybody misses their friends, of course, but I wonder if hanging out in the card aisle is a way to prolong the trip to the grocery store? - and stay out in public a little longer. Just a thought (not that I recommend lurking in the card aisle during Covid). I'm not really proposing a group project here, just passing along some news. Hope you all are well - Georgia

I've always been a card sender, but since Covid I know I've sent even more! At Halloween in fact I sent several cards and wrote inside " Yup, ghosts and gobbling's are scary, but not as scary as a pandemic"! I re-connected with two friends from Milwaukee, during Covid, that I had lost track of, and have sent each numerous cards. One is a real movie buff and got most of her DVD's thru the library rental system, but once Covid hit, and that wasn't possible, I sent her several DVD's as well. To be honest I can't say I've received more cards during Covid, but IMHO "tis better to give than receive" still holds true for me, even during a pandemic! |

A card exchange! Anyone up for it? I'd prefer something lose and unstructured without time constrains myself! |

Loose and unstructured that's kind of vague and open ended sounding, what does that mean and how would it work?

Everyone who wants to will sign up below and PM their addresses to the wrangler, starting now. The wrangler will distribute the addresses when they are received. Participants are free to send letters, cards, art projects, to whomever they want, whenever they want. Participants can join at any time. Project lasts until everyone agrees it has run its course, or the wrangler is over it. No deadlines, just group rule. Georgia volunteers to wrangle unless someone else has a better idea and wants to do it. What do you all think?

Somebody brought up a good point today. Unlike most of our past projects, I will not be collecting and redistributing the projects. I am simply making a mailing list, much like we do for holiday cards, and distributing the addresses to everybody. Therefore, everyone who participates will have each others' addresses. Participants will mail their projects directly to the recipients.
Also, there's no need to send money to me since you will be handling your own postage. Sorry for any confusion. Is this a problem for anyone?
