Sending a letter from a random person, did I read that here?

[TimeForMy10thCuppa]

Does anyone remember a thread possibly from last year . Where people were sending random letters to others?
It's completely possible I'm loosing my mind.

I got a random christmas card from some random person last year. Is that what you meant?

I didn't like it. It was meaningless being as the person didn't know me from Adam.

I remember that. It was fantastic!

Thanks @greenblue. I thought I had made that up.

Does anyone mind explaining what this is? I've looked at the thread but it just seems to about convincing ppl a random knows them, and causing confusion?

That is basically it @christmassprite.

I am surely missing something else that's fundamental... maybe, why?
What's the expected outcome of these ventures, why is it a thing?

Cos it's funny (when targeted at someone you know well, who won't be upset and will take it in good humour etc).
