Can you believe it is only 12 weeks to Christmas?! Let's get started on our preparations NOW and have a wonderful holiday season. 
Train type: simple style You will mail to 12 different people (1 per week) and 12 people will mail to you in return. Each envelope will contain at least 25 quality coupons. Envelopes must be mailed each week, but you can choose your mail date (Monday through Friday) to fit your schedule. Early mailings are NOT allowed - one per week, please! (Of course, the lovely postal service will let you drop it in the box as early as Saturday evening.. 
) With each envelope, you must include a note detailing one thing you did / plan to do that week to get ready. It could be a present you purchase, decorations you pick out or put up, or a holiday dinner menu you plan. 
The name of the train says "Christmas", but ALL winter holidays are welcome. Tell us what you're celebrating and how you're getting ready for it! (For that matter, tell us how it went afterward!)
NO junk coupons. If you have a question about what would be considered junk, please PM me!
Start with wishlist items, then progress to items that complement those on the wishlist, then to popular coupons that are not on the wishlist, then to non-inserts and hard-to-gets, then finally to the regular insert coupons. Think about what you would want to receive in an envie! (Golden rule, anyone?)
:ccane2: Unless the user's wishlist clearly states that they can use expireds, please leave at least two weeks from your mail date to the expiration.
Unless the user's wishlist clearly states that they shop at a particular store, please refrain from sending store-specific coupons.
Clear, color printables are okay unless the user's wishlist states otherwise. (Remember to check the Wishlist forum if you're working from a database list!) Black-and-white printouts only if the wishlist requests them.
Cokes codes, BTFEs, Pepsi points, etc are wonderful to include IF they're wishlist items. Please feel free to send as many as you like, but each item type will count as ONE of your required coupons, regardless of how many you send. (So 5 coke codes + 20 boxtops would count as 2 total coupons.)
:ccane2: Limit one of each coupon unless you have an exact wishlist match.
Other rules: Before signing up, you MUST read the forum rules and train rider FAQs. If you have any questions, please PM me or one of the train mods for clarification.
If your envelope has not been received two weeks after you mail it, you must send a new one.
You must post in this thread when you mail an envelope and again when you receive one.
:ccane2: In order to successfully ride this train, you will need a wishlist. If you need help setting one up, please ask.
iTrader feedback is strongly recommended when you receive an envelope. If you have questions about what kind of feedback to leave, or if the contents of the envelope are not what you expected (e.g. if there are junk coupons), please PM me first.
If you have read and agree to ALL of the above, you're ready to join! Send me a PM with your full name and address. The title of your PM should be the name of this train.
Still have a question? PM me! I promise I don't bite!
