I plan to send my cards out before Friday rolls around as the mail doesn't arrive or get picked up on the weekends here.
I plan to write a lil' Greek in my card as well. All it will be is
"Kala Christougenna Ki' efthismenos O Kenourios Chronos"
which translates to "Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year"
Hopefully nobody will get too confused :lol:.

Weird to me too. Even when I know people's real names, it takes a significant amount of off-board contact before I think automatically of the real name, as opposed to going first to the screen name, then translating in my head. :lol:

I love the thought of getting all these "multilingual" cards...
Ditto that. Now I can go up to all the Italian people I know & wish 'em a Merry Christmas & Happy New year in their language. Of course it'll sound funny 'cause there's me with my Canadian accent trying to say something Italian :lol:. I'll just stick with Greek...

^ I meant to comment on that. Love how multi-lingual this board is and am looking forward to those holiday greetings in other languages.

I am also looking forward to the multi-lingual cards. A funny thing, this Internet. It brings people together who otherwise would never even join together. I told Mom about sending cards to Italy, Hong Kong, Canada and the UK, and even Mom was stoked!

That's true, but Greek comes natural for me 'cause I picked up the accent over the years. Italian, well :lol:. I'll try my best.
Oh, and guys, don't be alarmed when you receive my card & on the inside your name is written in a different alphabet :lol:. For the heck of it I'm gonna write your names Greek style for practice & so you guys can learn something new. So try not to be like, "What kinda bizzare writing does this Mina use?" :lol:

Thank you Dynamo1! I've got to buy my cards tonight. I'll send them out soon. Hey, my cards are english, 'cause I'm Canadian! I just gotta find a decent post card for ThumpyG, give you a taste of our winters
:lol: I look forward to getting it! We have actually been spared thus far for snow! It was in the 50s today... but it won't last I know!
I have a few done, and will get the rest done this evening because I am a bonehead and left my school bookbag at work with all of my paperwork and textbook for my paper that I have to finish and test to study for. Perfect timing for me to finish these and mail them out by the end of the week.
I am also looking forward to the overseas ones!!! YAY especially seeing the different languages.

I'm sending out my cards tomorrow. I hope they get to everyplace in time for Christmas. I've done a total mailing, so I hope everybody enjoys them. If you get a card with a Canadian postmark, it could be me. I'm relatively new to the TalkCsi, and am not familiar with everyone like some are, but I'd like to wish everyone a Happy Holidays. So far, the Csi: New York boards have been terrific, and I've enjoyed meeting so many people. Can't wait to see where I get some of the cards from. This has been a terrific idea!
