Another year has come and gone, and it's time for The Fourth Annual Great Massassian Christmas Card Send. Here are links to year one, two, and three.

Just like previous years, this card send is free. This is not a card exchange, "secret Santa" deal, or anything else. All you need to do is PM me your name and address, and I will send you a card. Anyone, anywhere in the world. It's easy! Just follow the directions below.

I have sent well over 100 cards over the last 3 years, and hope to send many more this year! I enjoy sending cards to lonely nerds of the internet, and I hope you enjoy receiving them. If you’ve received a card in previous years, feel free to post it!

Please read the directions and FAQ before you post or send me your address.

Have fun!

-Steven




Directions:
The deadline is November 30. I'm going to check my inbox on Dec 1, and anyone whose address is not there is out of luck. Sorry, but that's why I'm posting so early in November (plus, it gives me time to write 50 Christmas Cards - that takes a while!)

1. Send me a PM with your name and address, formatted like this (US):
   
   Steven V.
   2497 N Riverside Ave
   Rialto, CA 92377
   
   or whatever is standard format for your nation of residence.
   
   
2. Include any special instructions you may have ("Please don't put my last name on the envelope", or "don't use my forum handle anywhere, please", et cetera)
   
   
3. Post in this thread to let me and others know you're in for a card.
   
   
4. Wait for the card to arrive in the mail!

FAQ:

• What is the card like?
  I usually buy a box of bulk cards from the drug store, and handwrite a personal note inside each one. These aren't cheap computer printed cards, they're actual store-bought cards.
  Some people are easy to write to, some are more difficult, depending on how much I know about the recipient, so I apologize if your card is somewhat generic. Post more, and I’ll get to you know better, so next year your card will be more fun! The envelope will simply have your name and address on it – nothing to give your parents/friends/lover a hint that you’re getting a card from Internet (unless you otherwise specify). The inside of the card will have your forum username and a handwritten message(unless you otherwise specify).
  
  
• Is this dangerous?
  No. I only use your address to send you a card. Nothing else.
  
  
• Will you give my address to anyone else?
  No.
  
  
• Who will you send a card to?
  Any registered Massassi member who sends me an address. Old members, new members, trolls or lurkers, no matter where they live. I’ve sent cards to the US, Canada, Finland, Hungary, Australia, New Zealand and India. Just send me your address, and get a card! There is no limitation based on location, or quantity of cards sent.
  
  
• Do you still have my address from last year?
  No, you’ll need to send me your address again.
  
  
• Can we send you a card?
  Sure. Send it to the address I posted above. I do ask, however, that you keep the outside of the card plain and simple, as all the mail goes through the landlady first, and she’s not too bright.
  
  
• Does this cost anything?
  Nope. Free.
  
  
• Can we help out with postage by sending a check/cash?
  No.
  
  
• Will you send me addresses so I can send cards/bombs/stalk forum members?
  No. If you want to send a card, get the address yourself.
  
  
• Will you send a card to my cousin/brother/girlfriend?
  Only if they PM me their address before the deadline. I will only accept one address per username, so they need to be registered Massassi members.
  
  
• Is there I anything I need to do to receive a card?
  Nothing other than sending me your address!

If you have any other questions, please post them below, and I will try to answer them!

Steven's cards are always awesome! Glad you're doing it again this year, big guy!

yay christmas cards!

perhaps one day i'll do this too. when im not so poor :'(

sent and sent

Yes!

This is the second time Steven is going to be writing to me ^.^

Hooray! Though my girlfriend always gives me **** about it...

wootwoot!

Sent.

If I can scrounge up the pennies I'll probably send one again.

Ah, India. <3 SMOCK!

I will want to be on your list once again, Steven. But I am on my wireless phone and don't think I can send a PM using Massassi PDA, so expect a PM from me either early next week or next weekend.
[Nevermind I can sent PM's. Sent, though I may have sent it twice. If so, sorry. Disregard.]

I'm in for the first time

Woot! Third year for me, but I think last year's got lost in the mail or something.

I've never done one before, but what the heck, sign me up.

I <3 Steven's cards! I'm totally in. I'll post my cards this year.

We should do a Quantum of Solace meetup, Steven. Bring the-friend-that-used-to-have-a-beard and girls. Lots of girls.

Makes me miss those stories.

Sent you PM.

Please, send me a dollar. Last year you sent me monopoly money

sounds cool im in

We even get monopoly money? I'm so in for this.

I can't remember if I got one last year...hmmm... well, I'll send you a PM with the addy just in case. My wife gets a kick out of them, Steven.

PM SENT

/me waits

So, do you insult people in their cards, or...

I only ask because to refrain would be unbecoming of your normal behavior toward me.

You're not special. I insult everyone.

I've only insulted three people in their cards: Yoshi, Merkle, and Midget.

He makes snide remarks at a minimum.

I'm in weeee! I did not receive a card last year as I believe he sent a card to my old university before I transferred :). I look forward to it this year...

PM being sent right now

Also, when do you think you will be sending the cards out? Because that's the difference between giving you my dorm address or my home address.

I'm sending the cards from California, USA, the last week of November and the first week of December.

In that case, I'll pm you my dorm address

PMed!

My only hope is that my parents are not bothered by strangers sending me Christmas cards.

Looking forward!

Sent. Hopefully I'll get some other peoples interested in this as well, because I've enjoyed your cards in the past and would like others to be in on the fun too. Since I am a greedy s.o.b., if anyone else wants to mail me a card as well (and you don't have my address), let me know and I'll likely clue you in so you can send me a card too.

PM sent

"The Deadline" approacheth - thou hast less than one week remaining.

sweet... another Christmas card

I'm in.

I wasn't going to do it, because I haven't posted much this year, and I figured it would be hard to come up with something to write.

Then I thought... "Wait a second - not my problem!"

You still have my address?
