It’s kind of hard to believe December is already upon us. I had an idea of what I’d be doing in December, but then, out of nowhere… WHAZAM! I’m thrown into the rush of Christmas without my permission. Bad December. Bad December for coming way too fast.
Among the Christmas festivities here at DWOD is the second annual Christmas card exchange! You might have participated in the one we did last year and I’m so excited to do it again this year.
Would you like to participate? Here’s how it works!
• If you send me a Christmas card, I’ll send you one back!
I’ve got exclusive custom-made DWOD Christmas cards ordered and printed for you this year! You won’t believe how excited I am to send them out.
• You can send any Christmas card, store-bought or handmade, to my P.O. box address:
Delightful World of Dolls
P.O. Box 1917
Valrico, FL 33595
Yes. I live in Valrico, FL, same city as my P.O. box. NOW YOU KNOW.
• Be sure to get an adult’s permission before sending a card!
• Please remember to put your return address on the card so I can send you one back. Of course, if you want to send a card but aren’t allowed / don’t want to receive one, you can exclude your address. (I’m offended. You don’t like my pretty card?)
• I can send cards anywhere! Even if you live outside the U.S., I’d love to exchange cards with you.
• You can send your card anytime in December. Even if the mail runs late or you get busy and I get your card after Christmas, I’ll still send you a card!
• If your dolls want to send a card to my dolls, they’re more than welcome to! ;) However: Due to the busyness of this December, my dolls will make one card in response to your dolls’ card(s), instead of one card in response to each of your doll(s)’ card(s). I—er, my dolls—sent a lot of their cards late this way because of how busy we were and I want to make sure to send them all on time!
• If you aren’t allowed to participate, don’t worry! I can send you the Christmas card photo by email if you’d like to have sort of an e-card Christmas exchange, haha! And there are plenty of fun things going on this month, like the Christmas Craft Collab with Light4theLord! Above, K.C. is trying out one of the DIY gold chocolate coins I’ll show you how to make on Friday.
And then, debuting on Wednesday, we have The Secret Santa Disaster; a two- or three-part Christmas photostory series (because I’m indecisive) featuring Del, Jasmine, K.C., and a… black widow spider?
Do you plan to participate in the Christmas card exchange? I can’t wait to send cards out!
See you on Wednesday with the first part of The Secret Santa Disaster! ^
UPDATED: FAQ
Q: What if I don’t celebrate Christmas?
A: You’re totally welcome to send me a happy holidays card instead! I’m just not the kind of person to conform, and I celebrate Christmas, so as long as getting a Christmas card in return doesn’t offend you, you’re welcome to participate this way!
P.S.
AG has started advertising on here! :o
Eek! Black widow spiders? My brother captured one of those once.
Woah! My frenemy tried to capture one once, but his dad just killed it. XD
Eek!
I will send you a card soon! I am super excited! Will you check out my giveaway winner post?
~Kaylyn
HURRAY, I can’t wait! And okay!
I replied to your email again. XDDD
I would <3 to exchange cards! I just have to get permission first! I really hope I can though! If I were to send you a card and write you a letter, would you respond to the letter as well? Also, be sure to check out today's post on my blog! ;)
Ooh, I hope you parents say yes! And yes, I would definitely respond to the letter, too! And okay! ;)
Me too! Cool!
NOT A SPIDER!!!!!
If I ever get around to taking doll family Christmas photos, maybe I’ll send a card! It is super cool that you do this!
Looking forward to all the Christmasy posts! Well, except for the spider :p
-Lydia P.

I’ll ask my mom! Also, I just noticed how much Del looks like Sonail. Like, they could be TWNS! Del just has a lighter skin tone.
Yeah! It’s because Del has the Sonali face mold. And actually, so does Cécile!
Aha. Gabby and Simone does too! But, with the black and white effect it’s like Sonali
and Del have the same skin tone.
Ah, yes, true!
Yeah! I think I hear my dolls fighting over who is going to pen the letter. Ooh, here comes one of them to complain! ;)
Uh oh! That would be your cue to run. ;)
lol!
EEEEK MY MOM SAYS I CAN!!!!!!! I AM SO EXCITED!!! AND HAHA I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SECRET SANTA DISASTER. IT SOUNDS FABULOUSLY EPIC.

Yay! I’m so stoked for this, I’ll be sending your card soon! :D I’m so excited for all your Christmas posts, and wow, I can’t believe AG started advertising on here, that’s amazing! :D
Oh, and I was wondering, in a couple pics of your dolls I’ve seen, it looks like they’re wearing makeup, how do you do that? ;)
I darken their lips and add mascara to their eyes in my editing system, PhotoScape X! ;)
YAY, I can’t wait! I’m super excited! And eek, I know right? :D
Yay! Christmas card exchange! We don’t know if we will be able to participate yet.

Hey it’s Liv,
This exchange sound fun! I hopefully can send you a card Madi but since we are traveling for Christmas I won’t make any promises. I do hope that I can though you seem really nice and this would be my first online friendship. I know my dolls would love to send your dolls a card too but they will probably fight over who has more space on the card because I don’t have time to wright 8 cards! Anyways I am super excited to see what DWOD has in store for Christmas! Stay awesome!
Your Friend always,
Liv
I hope you can participate, Liv! No worries, I completely understand traveling. ;) Haha, my dolls fight over who gets to sign, too! Thank you sooo much for commenting, Liv! Stay even-more awesome!
Yay! This is such a fun thing to do — a card is coming your way from me! :D
~Lydia~ <3
Aww, YAY! I can’t wait! :D
What a cute card!!! I was wondering if my posts are showing up on your reader or not because I’m pretty sure it’s broken. If you could let me know that would be terrific!
Thank you so much! And hmm. I haven’t seen your posts in my reader lately… I hope it isn’t broken!
Heehee, I just sent your card! ??✉️✨
Most crazily, ~Olive
AHH YAY I’M SO EXCITED.
I’m participating!
Hurray!!
Also, I’m still working on a reply to your letter, so sorry it’s taking a while!
Oh! That’s sounds so fun! So it’s ok if I make a card? I would really like to participate! Is K.C. a #23? I have one too(Avery)! This is super random but how do you do the lipstick on your dolls? I hope you don’t mind me asking. I’m super excited! Merry Christmas!
– Katie :)
Oh, totally! Handmade cards are the best. And yes, K.C. is a #23! I darkened their lips in my photo editor, PhotoScape X, so it’s not real lipstick. Merry Christmas!
This is cool. I really hope we can get our act together to participate this year. :-)
Thanks, Xyra! Ooh, I really hope you can participate!
I can’t wate to send you a card!!! I have one question there’s no street name in the address or a zip code if their is none please forgive my ignorance, because in Canada we do. I am Canadian☺

I’d love to exchange cards!! The P.O. box address doe look a little different, doesn’t it? There’s no street address, just the P.O. box number there. The zip code is 33595. Even though it looks weird, don’t worry, it’s valid and your card will still get here!
