Oh dear - it turns out that I had one de-activated account in my capped acquaintances and have received more than one invitation. I now need to make a decision on which one to accept.
By the way I am stat-capped so won't need to receive Christmas cards for stat boosts.

Sorry RL means I am not a very active player at the moment. No social actions unless you are prepared to wait and definitely no sparring or other mult-action things.
No Calling Cards or boxed cats please. Will take dupes on the affluent photographers. Other social invitations welcome. Parabolan Kittens usually available, send me an in-game social action saying you want one and I will get one to you as soon as possible.

(Oh, of course, accepting Delicious friends as acquaintances for sending and receiving Christmas Cards and I'll post this on the other thread.)
Brilliant! This will be my first Christmas/Advent holiday, since I started on a Friday afternoon (local time) seven weeks ago! Thank you Failbetter Games for continuing this tradition so I may get to experience it!
(Drat, this also means I have to wait until this Friday then before I get Christmas cards to send though 
Oh well--All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well. All shall be well and all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well. ALL SHALL BE WELL AND ALL SHALL BE WELL AND ALL MANNER OF THING SHALL BE WELL SHALL BE WELL.......err....where was I again before almost becoming Peckish?  Right.)
Allow me to celebrate my very first Advent Day with a song commiserating this issue:
Deck the 'Neath with Urchin lightning,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
A [the specific item name redacted by a not-so-Jolly Ministry of Public Decency]...certain Storm is very frightening,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Don we now our Semiotic Monocle,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la!
To see it's not "Snow" and not quite palatable,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
See the blazing Spite before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Strike the Correspondence and join the chorus,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Follow me in Delicious measures,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
While I tell of Fallen London treasures,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Fast away our Menace passes,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Acquaintances new, ye lads and lasses,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Spung from Jail, we're all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
Heedless of our past Crimes nether,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
[One more stanza I've added anew,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
That goes out from me to all of you,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
A wonderful time I have had here,
Fa la la la la, la la la la!
So Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
Fa laaaaa laaa laaa laaaa, laa laa laaaaa laa!]

I don't know if you're able to view G+? I'm posting the codes there too. Here's the page.

Okay. I must confess. My curiosity is really peaked now, I have to ask. Do you know why the advent calendar codes would be posted on the FBG Google Plus page which has 13 followers but not the FBG tumblr which has around 500?

I do.
Tumblr content can hang around for years. It didn't seem sensible for us to post highly time-limited codes there.
(The Tumblr of Darkdrop Coffee is of course not a seasonal code.)

Oh! Okay, that makes perfect sense. Thank you very much for indulging my curiosity.

Oooh, thank you for making me aware of the Tumblr of Darkdrop Coffee. That'll come in handy when I decide to raise my Scholar of the Correspondence quality to 21.

How exciting! I get to return all the cards I've already been sent (exactly eight - that was convenient) and bask in all my Second Chances. I'm feeling Christmassy already!

Merry Christmas! (okay not yet but the spirit applies) I'd love to accept and give out cards. It is after all, one of the undeniable rights of the season.

http://ow.ly/Fa1Nw VERY happy I get my cards early (before TTH) thanks to the link (guessing it's an Advent gift until otherwise told!) I'll start sending cards back to those who sent them to me, and then agonizingly decide if I send my cards left to others chronologically posted or some other way.

And that is why you check to see if Time the Healer has come before you open your Advent gift! Oh well. I hope I will be able to reciprocate all of my cards in time.
