A new reminder for Christmas Card exchange

17 years ago

I think it's time for me to remind you to sign up for the Christmas card exchange, if you haven't already done so.

This is something that I've thought about recently as I've tried to keep up with posts while on vacation with limited internet. I have seen many new people here that I would like to welcome to the Table. However, it has been policy in the past, and I've promised again this year, not to share addresses with people who are relatively new to the KT. Please, if you are new, and would like to exchange cards with me personally, I would be happy to do so. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but some are uncomfortable sharing thier addresses with people they are unfamiliar with. Am I saying this right? I hope so. Again, anyone who is new, and would like to exchange Christmas cards with someone here, I will be happy to exchange with you. I personally use a PO Box, not my home address.

This is who we have so far. If you have emailed me already, and you are not on the list, please let me know. You can email me thru my page to sign up.

I just sent you an e-mail Tami. I hesitated because I wasn't sure how I would feel. But I so enjoy it that I'm signing up.

Littlebit, I am so glad to hear that we made your December brighter last year. And that you were mis-diagnosed! That was the one time that mis-diagnosis was a good thing. As for adding those who need to back out, that is up to them. I will be happy to do that if they agree. I have the addresses. I would just need to put them in a different place on the list. Not hard! Rosemaryt, if you are going to join us, please send me your info thru my page so I can add you. Littlebit, you to, please! What is wrong with your font on the computer? Maybe we can help. Tami

MaryAnn, you are added to the list. I'm glad you signed up!

That makes 38 so far, including me. Who else?

Tami, I think the policy is very wise, and you explained it nicely. Anyone would understand.

Just curious, do we exchange with everyone or just with one other person. How does this work?

I thought we out voted that last year...

I'm willing to let any of the newcomer have my address...

It's published in the phone book for everyone that wants to see it.

So If there are any that want to exchange they can be put on my list.

I'm sorry it has taken me so long to get back to this post. We were out of town getting repairs on the motor home and did not have internet access.

Patti, I wasn't aware that there had been a vote last year, but I did have a couple of people privately question me on how I was going to handle it this year. I just did like I have when I did the exchange in the past.

If there is anyone new who wants to sign up, I will be happy to share with you the addresses of those who have indicated they are willing.

For socks and mimi_boo, email me with your KT name, real name, address. I will add you to the list. Approximately Thanksgiving weekend, I will divide everyone into groups. The size of the groups will depend on how many sign up. Usually between ten to fifteen. I will email the list to those who have signed up ONLY. I will not share your names and addresses with anyone else. Please send cards to those in the group your name is included in, then, if you choose to do so, you may send to as many others as you wish to. You must send to those in your group first. Many wish to decorate their homes with the cards, so we try to set a deadline of, say, maybe the end of the first week of Dec. That should give you about two weeks (with out me looking at a calander at 11:20pm!) to get the cards in the mail. Please remember that cards from the US to Canada take at least a week to arrive, and cards to Europe and Austrailia take up to two weeks to arrive. In one of my other posts on the exchange, I have postage listed from the US to Canada and Europe/Austrailia. Ont_gal kindly posted what postage is from Canada to the states. If it is needed, I can look it up tomorrow. At this point, after being on the road all day, I'm not even sure what I am typ8ing!! LOL So, please forgive any typos, ect.

Beth, welcome to the table. I'm not sure I have seen you here yet, but internet has been very hit and miss on the road the last two weeks. If you would like to participate with some of us, please email me thru my page. As you can see, there are several of us who would be happy to do exchange cards with you.

Did I miss anything? If so, add you comments or questions and I will get caught up ASAP! We are home again for a few weeks at least.
