Not For You Christmas Card

This is a swap to send a Christmas Card - NOT to your partner, but rather, to someone that your partner knows, that your partner thinks would like some cards.

The person in need of some cards might be hopitalized, or, home-bound, or, in the military, or, away from home in some way, or, just someone your partner knows, that doesn't get many cards for the Holidays.

When partners are assigned, you will contact your partner and get the address of the person your partner wants you to send a card to.

Your partner might choose to have the card sent to themselves, and, they will give it to the person, or, your partner might give you the actual address so you can send the card directly to the person. Just send the card to the name and address that your partner gives you.

It might be nice to add a little cheery greeting of your own, too, on the card.

Handmade or store-bought is fine.

I hope I am not stealing this idea from some other swap that is like this. (sorry, if I am)

I am thinking this is sorta tacky to include the swap name inside the card - I think it might make the recipient feel bad, if they think they are some sort of charity case.. So, I am thinking, that we should just email our partner saying when we sent the card.. and, after a bit, the partner will contact the person to see if they received a surprise Christmas card, and, then, the partner can rate you.

In a nut-shell: Send one Christmas card to a person that your partner knows.

Your partner will supply you with the address.

Merry Christmas to all.
