Old School Winter Holiday- 2!

Had so much fun with this swap last year that I thought it would be fun to do it again! Please PM or leave a comment below if you have any questions about the swap.

This is a swap to explore and share Old School Skills during the winter holiday/s that you celebrate! By winter holidays I am thinking Christmas, Hanukkah, Solstice, Yule, Old Christmas, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day, etc. To me, the winter holidays are a time that draws us closer to our loved ones, the joys of life, and older ways and traditions. In many ways, the customs that most appeal to me during this time of year are ancient ones.

International swap.

We will be sending:

1) A note or letter telling some of your favorite old customs or old school holiday traditions. This can mean ancient customs or it can mean your favorite family traditions, or both.

2) Three old school spirited holiday or winter items such as handmade candles, a cozy holiday or winter's book, a handmade ornament, an original CD of traditional or traditional-styled holiday or winter music, winter baking item, old-fashioned holiday treats, a winter craft, crafted warm winter item, a handmade gift, old-fashioned holiday tea, etc. Purchased items are okay but please send nothing that screams, "I am a modern commercialized and impersonal holiday item!"

3) A handmade or purchased old-fashioned style or vintage holiday card.

Important: The idea of this swap is to capture the magic of the winter holidays. Since winter holidays are often faith-based please be aware and respectful of your partners preferences (as listed in profiles) regarding receiving or not receiving certain religious items. HOWEVER, since one goal of this swap is to share our holiday traditions, by signing up, you promise not to be offended/ leave a bad rating if your partner tells you of traditions of a belief system that is different than your own. This swap is for all old-school skills for all winter holidays.

I will have to drop all persons with recent unexplained or poorly explained 3s or 1s, or past strings of 3s or 1s. To keep the holiday spirit alive, please do not sign up if you cannot send or cannot send on time.

There is a fairly short turn around time to beat the seasonal mail slow down. :)

***PS- Would you like to create your own Old School Skills swap(s)? Any member in good standing (no recent unexplained or poorly explained 3s or 1s, or past strings of 3s or 1s) can be made an officer and start hosting swaps! PM me if you are interested.
