The Kitchen Table

If you are thinking of signing up for the Christmas Card Exchange

15 years ago

I just was at the Post Office yesterday, and am going again today, cause I forgot my mail, had to pick up a package yesterday. I got to thinking about stamps. I have plenty for now, but thought about buying some for later, so I had a good supply for our card exchange. Maybe some of you would like to do that. They only sell the forever stamps now in regular postage, so the won't go to waste if the postage goes up.

I won't start the sign up for until sometime in October, but I just thought I would suggest buying stamps ahead for it if you are interested in signing up. That way it's one less expenditure right before Christmas. Plus it's easier to get to the post office now instead of in the snow!

Good idea Tami. Last year was the first year I didn't do it and I did miss it. I'm starting to work on Christmas cards early this year.

Bringing this back up. I hope some more will sign up! You have until Thursday evening to sign up. Then I will divide up the list and email them out. Remember, you only HAVE to send to those on the list in which your name appears. After that, if you want, you can send to anyone or everyone else on the list. Counting me, we have 26 signed up. It's a small list this year. Tami

I went into the PO today, had to send a cd of pictures and had no idea how much postage for it, so I asked about postage for the exchange. I was told that they can only raise the price of stamps once a year, and they had been denied raising it for this year already, so it won't go up before Christmas.

US to Canada is 80 cents
US postcards are 29 cents
US to most of Europe is 98 cents, depending.

I don't know what it will be for those out of the US sending to the US, and he couldn't tell me.

Hope this helps those intending to sign up.

Heather, I missed having you sign up last year!
