It's almost that time of year again..another christmas card exchange

[crazycanuck]

Just a heads up..I'm going to organize another christmas card exchange this year. I know it's early but thought i'd throw the idea out there to gauge responses.

I'll give more info in early october..

Thank you, CC, you're the best!

I did not participate last year so I'm looking forward to my first time. ;)

[Deanna]

I'm not sure how this works. Are we sending greetings to each other or are we exchanging unused greeting cards to mix up the variety we've already got at home?

[crazycanuck]

We;d be sending greeting cards to eachother rather than exchanging blank ones.

I'm going to try and make a few this year :o :rolleyes: :o :eek:

[teigyr]

Sounds like fun :D

[indigoiis]

Yay!
I love holiday cards.

[Xrayted]

It was so groovy last year receiving cards from all over the world. Everyday I rushed out to the post box looking for some. I'm definitely in again. Thanks CC! :cool:

[mtbdarby]

Count me in too!

[bambu101]

I agree- it was lot of fun last year to receive cards from all over the world. I still have one of them hanging on my cubicle wall at work. Count me in again.
Thanks, CC!

[Flybye]

Oh, how fun! I would like to know more about this.... How many cards do we each have to address and send out? This sounds like a load of fun!

[Xrayted]

Last year we had around 25-30 join in so we just got a total list emailed to us by CC and we sent one to each. It was actually one of the best parts of my Christmas. Not everyone celebrates that holiday though so I think it's important to let people know if you celebrate a diff one so they can send the correct card to you. Personally, I celebrate Christmas and Festivus. :D

[crazycanuck]

Hi,

Basically all I do is collect details & it's up to the individual to send as many or as few cards as they wish :)

There were some awesome cards last year!!!

[jeannierides]

I'll play!:D

[short cut sally]

I enjoyed last years exchange, definately will be doing it again this year.

Ah "Festivus for the restofus"

Thanks for the laugh!

[Flybye]

Woop, I am scatterbrained - Count me in on the exchange. My DH will die if he knows that I want to do this because with all of the stuff going on in December, I refuse to send cards to family and friends because we are so busy. I will have to go underground to do this one or I'll be in hot water for sure ;) But, after all, is is for CYCLING, right :rolleyes: :D

Hello!

I'm new to this forum, thanks to MBT. I'm certainly interested in sending cards . . . what a fun idea! I've always enjoyed receiving letters in the mail . . . it's much more interesting than e-mail, at least for me. As a new member of this forum, I'll need to check in periodically so that I don't miss out on the christmas cards.

Of course, I'm also interested in learning more about biking from the experts on this forum.

[Mama Beane]

I'm new this year too - but it sounds like a lot of fun, Count me in!:D

Ah "Festivus for the restofus"

Thanks for the laugh!

I know someone who got one.

[bmccasland]

So, does one dance around the festivus pole? or with the festivus pole? ;)

Meanwhile, back a the ranch...

Count me in on the winter holiday season thing card exchange!

[Zen]

I don't care much for Christmas but Festivus is a whole nother thing!
The Feats of Strength are so exciting!!!

[teigyr]

I am more familiar with the Airing of Grievances :o

Especially when coupled with alcohol.

[Zen]

Eh, it's the Airing of Grievances anytime my family gets together.And we don't even need booze:o

[teigyr]

Neither does ours but it helps. That's when those "when I was in high school an you thought I was doing <insert appropriate school activity here>" admissions come up. Then my mother says she knew already.

Scary.

Anyway, we are good at those :D

[nancielle]

I was wondering just the other day if we'd be doing another card exchange.
I'm in! Last year's was lots of fun. I looked forward to receiving something other than the boatload of catalogs that usually arrive and the assorted bills.

[bicyclulz]

Woot...count me in, i love christmas and christmas cards:-P

[aly]

Yipee!! I love getting good mail!! Count me in...

[crazycanuck]

I am sitting here pondering a date for folks to get thier details to me by....Is Oct 28th too late? I can't remember Brandi's date for the ss exchange & don't want to confuse yar. I'll have the list prepared & ready to send off on Nov 1st Australian Standard time.

Another thought is for those who participated last year-i found I still have the list :o and have sent a few messages out confirming details are corrreeeect!

If you'd like to participate i'm ready for your details. Please send me the following:

Real name , physical address & email address. The reason for the email address is &#237;t's much easier for me. The folks from last year will tell you that i don't send spam afterwards and i'm trustworthy!

Here's how the card thing works. I email everyone the list and you decide how many or how few cards you send. I know that LBTC might send a boooooteful e-card again (it was sooo purty T) YAY! You can create your own cards (I believe it was Sbctwin that made awesome cards!!!) as well. It's up to you the sender but pwease remember someone might not find Far side Christmas cards funny. *snort*..teeee heeee...

If the cards last year were cool, i can't wait for this years!

Please let me know if i'm forgetting anything..

[Running Mommy]

YAY!! I'm IN! I'll pm you my details... well heck you HAVE my details! :D

It's the perfect excuse to go totally over the top with glitzy decorations that are just way too un-styley for the rest of the year. I am counting down until I can put up the decorations. 6 weeks to go.....

To those doing this....

My husband and I are off to India for the holidays (yay!) and we'll actually be sending out "Happy New Year" cards when we return.

Just to give you a heads up :)

[LBTC]

Wow. I've been busy with life and other threads, had already sent CC my info, so it wasn't until I'm having a boring afternoon at work that I read all these posts.

Thanks for the plug, CC. I know that I'll likely do email again this year, so I'm glad to know that last year's wasn't a low point for you! :o Thanks for getting the list together and out, too. You are one happening chickee!

Hugs and butterflies,
~T~
