$5 at McD's would be generous... I think we're getting catered by a roach coach. :beaten:

BTW, we need to review your list: I'm not sure if you might've acquired some of those already... :sweat:

Christmas card arrives 93 years late

Fri Dec 14, 10:35 PM ET

A postcard featuring a color drawing of Santa Claus and a young girl was mailed in 1914, but its journey was slower than Christmas. It just arrived in northwest Kansas.

The Christmas card was dated Dec. 23, 1914, and mailed to Ethel Martin of Oberlin, apparently from her cousins in Alma, Neb.

It's a mystery where it spent most of the last century, Oberlin Postmaster Steve Schultz said. "It's surprising that it never got thrown away," he said. "How someone found it, I don't know."

Ethel Martin is deceased, but Schultz said the post office wanted to get the card to a relative.

That's how the 93-year-old relic ended up with Bernice Martin, Ethel's sister-in-law. She said she believed the card had been found somewhere in Illinois.

"That's all we know," she said. "But it is kind of curious. We'd like to know how it got down there."

The card was placed inside another envelope with modern postage for the trip to Oberlin \ the one-cent postage of the early 20th century wouldn't have covered it, Martin said.

"We don't know much about it," she said. "But wherever they kept it, it was in perfect shape."

O my goodness! That's amazing! Props to the postal workers for deciding to send it instead of throwing it away. What an awesome thing to experience - getting something from so long ago. I wonder what the drawing looked like.

I did get an excited, tingly feeling when I received your package. It was really unexpected and a very pleasent surprise. :)

I'm glad it made it there... :sweat:

Hmm, now I wonder if it'll take 93 years before Keps gets her package. :puppydog:

Mebbe she's gotten hers already, but hasn't come online to tell you yet.

Hmmmm... does she get really bad weather where she's at in England?

Maybe that's why she hasn't been online: she's been watching Nodame and Swing Girls... :beaten:

I'd think it gets cold, but I dunno about snow. :headscratch:
