Description:

THIS SWAP ALLOWS ONLY ONE PERSON PER LANGUAGE, PLS POST YOUR LANGUAGE IN THE COMMENT SECTION, THANKS :)
(Pls post your language, not your country, thanks :))

I hope I´ll get together enough participants, so pls wait with preparing until partners are assigned, thanks :).

You´ll choose a store-bought greeting card (folded card) with the theme Christmas, no mini-size pls (like the size of a gift tag f.e.). If you don´t celebrate Christmas you can choose a card related to another holiday you´re celebrating in this time of the year!
On the card has to be written something in your country´s language!!!
Choose a card that says more than "Merry Christmas" in your language! I doesn´t matter if the writing is inside or outside. To clearify it has to be on the card when you buy it, it´s not OK to just write something on the card.
Apart from these rules, the card itself is sender´s choice.
Inside the card write a translation of the words / sentences in English (no perfect grammer required ;), write your location and the date, write a warm, nice message from your heart!
Decorate inside a little bit with stickers,tape drawings or whatever you like to.

Add a 2nd card, must be a folded Christmas/holiday card again, but everything else is SENDER´S choice, can be handmade, too. Leave this one unwritten and add a matching envelope!
This card is for your partner to use :). Last year I gave my Mum a Russian card I received in a swap, she loved it :)!

BTW Members with non-latin writing are more than welcome to join, too!
An English speaking member can join, too, of course. In this case of course there is no translation required.

REQUIREMENTS TO JOIN:
- must have logged in 2 days before I assign partners
- rated newbies are allowed to join (I´ll angel.)
- no unexplained ones the past 12 months
- no unexplained recent threes
(If you have a bad rating that you can explain, pls message me before you join, thanks)
I reserve the right to ban a participant even when they meet the requirements.

DO NOT FLAKE! If you flake on this swap I will forward your name to the flaker groups and of course, I will exclude you from all my future swaps!

Please inform me if there accure any problems during the swap process, thank you.

Please post any questions you have in the comment section or pm me, if it´s urgent.

I hope my explanations aren´t to confusing :D!

HAVE FUN :)!

From South Africa - Afrikaans. I've signed up in the hope that our postal service will have been sorted out by the 'send by' date. Will keep a close check on it.

Postal workers back at work and mail is arriving, so all's well again.

Love to but, most cards in my language say: "Prettige Kerstdagen en een Gelukkig Nieuwjaar" (Merry Christmas and a Happy New year) Is that enough?

Hi - I don't have an assigned partner. Does that mean I am not in this swap anymore?

betty194 11/ 7/2014 #

I am sorry, I am a day late with assigning, checking participants right now :); of course you´re still in the swap

annacarta 11/ 7/2014 #

Thank you, betty194. I'm new so I wasn't aware what to expect. I appreciate you setting up this swap.

Good morning all, I forgot to mark mine 'sent' - apologies. Thanks for the reminder. The update from the P.O. is that they are finally back at work this week after more haggling the past couple weeks. They've promised to have all the backlog cleared by mid December (hopefully) so my card could well be a little late. Decided not to sign up for further swaps till this whole issue has been sorted. Have a super day all.
