Description:

In 2010, the winter solstice falls on December 21st. This day has the fewest number of daylight hours and is commonly considered the first official day of winter. For this swap, you will have one partner. You will send your partner a greeting card in honor of the day. Your greeting card may be bought or handmade, but must fulfill the following criteria:

  1. It must have at least two interior panels (this is what the typical greeting card looks like; a postcard is NOT appropriate for this swap).
  2. Either type or handwrite a message to your partner inside the card. Tell your partner about some of the things you enjoy doing during the winter months, what you like or don't like about the season, or anything relating to the winter season.
  3. No freebie cards!
  4. The image on the card and the message inside the card must relate to winter in general and/or the winter solstice specifically. If you are Pagan and celebrate the Winter Solstice as a religious holiday, it is fine to incorporate that into your card IF YOU CLEAR IF WITH YOUR PARTNER FIRST! If you partner does NOT wish to receive such material, please respect that. Absolutely no Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, other holiday, or other religious material is acceptable for this swap. Ideally, I'd like to keep this swap open to people of different religious faiths as well as those who are not religious at all.

This swap is international, but you must have a rating of 4.5 or better. While it's OK for your card to reach your partner after December 21, please try to get it to them as close to that date as possible.

you know for some ppl, Winter Solstice is a religious holiday.

@CajunLady I do realize that. If participants in this swap would like to send a winter solstice as a religious holiday card to their partner, I'm ok with that, provided they clear it with their partner first.

I only said this because of this line in your description:
Absolutely no Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas, specific holiday, or religious material is acceptable for this swap

@CajunLady I'm sorry I wasn't clear. Will have to change that. :-)

i'm wiccan so i'm cool with it being more geared in that direction

It's probably worth mentioning that I'm not Pagan/Wiccan, but I'm open to receiving cards that lean in that direction. I would love to hear how your celebrate the day!
