Description:

November always feels such cold, dark, somewhat sad month. So we just NEED to find something wacky to celebrate!

Check this Bizarre and Unique Holidays' calendar and choose 3-5 options - what would you like to celebrate (seriously or not) in November. List these in swap comments. Once the partners have been assigned, check the comments to see what holidays your partner listed, choose one of these, and create them a greeting card. Write inside your greetings and send the card off in an envelope, just as you'd do with any other holiday.

Please choose sufficiently bizarre or unique holidays for your list, not something for which you could buy a card from any supermarket. Also, make sure you have posted your holidays by partner-assigning time - it is not fair to make your sending partner worry if/when can they start planning their card. You don't have to do it before signing up or right after, though - you may take your time choosing the best holidays.

Any medium is allowed to make this card. You may create your card as a collage or scrapbook style, you may draw or paint, you may use a photo you have taken, or any other way, or all of above as long as the result is a greeting card suitable for one of the occasions your partner chose. The only thing you shouldn't do is to send an unmodified storebought card. Your card may be as bizarre as you want as well!

It isn't that original - there were such swaps years ago (which was how I found out about this calendar) and also just recently I noticed some public ones. But those were sender's choice of holiday and actual gifts. Cards are cheap to send, won't need extra shopping if you make them yourself, but still a lot of fun! And when it's receiver's choice, you won't get a gift or card for a holiday that you feel "meh" about.
