So, have other Albertans received this issue by now?  Mine seems to have gone adrift somewhere.

Well, if it's any consolation, haven't received mine on the eastern side of North America either.

Nah. Our Canadian Post Office is still busy delivering Christmas cards.

Haven't received mine either, didn't check the mailbox on Friday but tomorrow we'll see. Good old Canada Post, yes, I think they're still catching up with Christmas leftovers....

Well, that's good to hear...  I suppose.  
I always wonder, when things seem to go astray, whether they have been delivered to the wrong house.  Believe it or not, there are two other houses a few blocks down the street that have the same house number as ours - both of them are corner houses and they have their house numbers facing onto the avenue, rather than on to the street as they should be, so their addresses are often mistaken for ours.  
The regular postal carriers know the neighborhood, and are rarely fooled by this.  (Parcel delivery folks are often misled, though... the residents  at these addresses are very kind in bringing misdelivered parcels to us a few times a year... but it would be easier for them and us if they'd just move their damn house numbers to the street side of their houses!  >Sad)

... And it hasn't crossed the Atlantic yet (although, upon reflection, it probably has and is now lying in the bottom of a sack in a remote sorting office in rural Wales)!   Cheesy

I'm hoping (it's not a lot more than hoping tho) that people will get their Quarterly by January 7th. That was my target. Canada seems to be on a similar timescale to us in the UK - last time I think it appeared in Australia before it got here.

Hope you all don't have to wait too long and that you feel it's worth the wait when it does come.

Very best and Happy New Year to everyone

I just got mine today and I can hardly wait to dig in and enjoy it. 

Lori that has to be terribly annoying that the neighbours down the street don't have the house numbers where they should be.  Way too easy for mail to go astray.
Hope you get your Quarterly asap!

Have not got mine although earlier copies have arrived rather quickly here. But I am still waiting for some Christmas cards too.

I got mine on Vancouver Island yesterday - enjoying it a lot.  Lori hope you get yours soon - the island usually takes a lot longer to deliver than Calgary - island time and all that.

Got mine yesterday too, and have spent some very enjoyable time browsing through it.  The new layout is great - very bright and new!
