Your Mods have been discussing Stashmas. Now, normally we'd be really up for it. But. Well, not so much this year. We think that, given the rising costs of postage overseas -- often more than our limit for spending -- and the still unreliable postal deliveries, perhaps we should give it a miss this year. The last few holiday seasons have seen fewer members participating, for all sorts of good reasons. And it can't have slipped anyone's notice that there are fewer regulars who post than before, delighted as we have been with the return of much missed members.
We've considered Zoom Christmas (but time zones...). We considered Amazon gift certificates (but that transfers cost of delivery to the recipient and no one was inclined to help finance any of Jeff Bezos's rockets). We are open to other workable ideas, of course.
That doesn't mean there won't be anything at all happening -- that's not our style! Apart from the usual festivities in the Stash & Grab, what we DID think was that we could inaugurate the Great Card Exchange and instead send Christmas/holiday/New Year cards.
What do you think? Would you consider participating in the Great Card Exchange?
