The Kitchen Table

Christmas Card exchange opinon please.

12 years ago

I am planning on organizing this again this year. I was up last night unable to sleep, so I got to thinking. I want your opinons please.

DH has a new job (same place, just different location doing some infrared maintance work instead of where he is now) that we are unsure of when it will start. We thought it would be day after Labor day, but he was told today, possibly the beginning of Oct. We usually spend about 3 weeks on the road about then. That means we would possibly be on the road in November instead, if we even go.

I usually catch up with your emails asking to take part at a campground that has internet. I was thinking of starting it in the next couple of weeks, if you don't think it would be too early. That way most of those who want to take part would have already signed up. I would still get the list out Thanksgiving weekend as usual if at all possible. If we can't leave until the beginning of Nov., we may not go at all, and all this thinking will be for nothing! LOL!

Anyway, do you think it will be too early to start the sign up in Sept? Suggestions? As I said, I may end up not needing to change the way I do it after all, but wanted your thoughts.

If you choose to do it Tami,however you choose is good with me.

With my being on an extremely limited income,and wanting to participate,at least if I have an idea of who and where I am sending to early enough,I could definitely get my stamps purchased.

Stamps in Ontario now are 67cents/pc.

Either way anyhow,include me! :) and thank u!

Minnie, please email me thru my page with your information. I know you have participated in the past, but I want to make sure I have the correct information. I will copy and paste to make sure I don't make any mistakes typing it! I am notorious for transposing letters. Mary and Rose, you both are on the list and should have a confirmation email from me.

Here is a reminder for the card exchange. I was out of town for the weekend, then found out that DGD is in the hospital on our way home, then Dr, appointments, ect, so I have not been on the computer. I have barely kept up with the important emails, and still have 150 to go thru! I know what I will be doing this weekend. In fact, today is the first I have been on the computer at all, anything for email has been done on my phone. Toni, I did get your message, forgot I couldn't just reply and did, of course I got the failure email! Sorry. No you haven't missed the list. One more week to sign up. I will probably separate the list into groups on Wed, night next week, and then send them out. I will be having the kids & grands Thurs evening for dinner. If we don't get any more people, do you want all one group, or do you want me to break the list in half? There are 17 including me. Let me know what you think. Tami

Rhonda, if it helps, we had about 35 sign up last year, including me. Most of those were in the USA.

Ok. If you all don't think it's too early, I'll start another post. I won't have internet until Monday, so I'll start replying to those who sign up then.

Thanks!

Hi Ont gal,

Sending a letter to the States costs about a buck, doesn't it?

Or should I say, "A loonie"?
