Minnie posted asking if we were doing this again this year. I volunteered to organize it. Looks like I have the job! Vannie has already emailed me her address. See Minnie's post for details.

My Christmas Wish 2007 In recent years, my parents health (esp. my mother) has deteriorated. I recently moved 600 miles closer just to be with them. I fear this may be the last Christmas for one or both of them. They really LOVE Christmas cards! As I was rummaging through the attic to retrieve their Christmas decorations, I found Christmas cards they had received from 30 years ago. They throw NONE away. I was trying to think of something really special to do for them for Christmas and I came up with this idea. If you have the Christmas spirit, and want to do something nice for someone (who doesn't?) - please take the time to send my parent's a Christmas card. Christmas was always a magical time of year for our family and I truly want to make this magical for the both of them. Please! God Bless You and I hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas. Address is as follows: Donald and Betty Coleman 704 Seattle Drive Lexington Kentucky 40503 Please forward this to all your family/friends/coworkers. God Bless!!!

I received the cards and letters, and enjoyed learning more about my KT family. So many KTers are in my age group, and many have been around here for a long time, as have I. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and all life's blessings in 2018. For those who suffered through disasters, including, but not limited to, the horrible weather-related disasters of 2017, may 2018 be a wonderful year as you start a new chapter in your lives. Thanks, Tami, for once again arranging this!

Carol - you probably DID thank me in some other thread and I missed it. So please don't feel bad! I just was beginning to worry that you really WERE part of some dark conspiracy to withhold mail from you! I only got out 2 valentines this year -- my stepmother's fall and hospitalization and my trip up north happened right when I would have sent them out. But I had sent yours early because I knew what a debacle Christmas was! So you & my sister got valentines. That's it!

You are welcome. It really isn't hard to do. I just copy and paste the names and addresses into a word document, then divide into groups as they came in. Then email the list at the end of sign up. It would be very easy for someone else to pick up and do.

MomBondo....no it's not like a Secret Santa...

All who want to join are split up into groups of 20 (usually, depending on how many join)

You are ask to send to your group first then if you want you can send to any or all of the rest. You will be given a list of names and addresses from all who join.

I've joined for several years and love getting all the beautiful cards from all over the united states.

A lot of time there will be a Christmas Swap which is what you are probably thinking of...You join, your name will be given to another one who has joined and her/his name will be given to you. (although I don't think any of the men have ever joined here on the KT) Then you email each other and try to get to know each other and their likes, hobbys, favorite things to eat....so you will know what to send them. Usually a box of goodies...Lots of fun to shop for and lots of fun to recieve and open...

Hi Tami,

Please count me in. I was a newby doing this last year, and it was so much fun. I saved the cards from last year and I was actually rereading them only a few weeks ago. I'll send you an email with the info.

Patti, thanks for the heads up on Dances. As soon as she sends me her info, I'll add her to the list. I don't want to rely on last year's addresses, because several people have moved and I can't remember who all it was!
