    Hello everyone,

    Seems like I just pop in here every now and then to see what everyone is up to. Just like the previous years, I check in during the holidays to let everyone know about the annual Christmas Card exchange.

    Blondie used to lead this several years ago and I was involved for about 3 to 4 years before it began to fall off. For those of you who participated back then, I still have your addresses and have just sent off this year's Christmas cards to everyone. I decided to do it early this year to make sure the international cards made it to their destinations on time.

    I am wishing everyone who celebrates Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year.

    P.S. Anyone also remember the secret Santa gift exchange? I miss those times. Hope everyone is doing well.

    Go for it garyneal. It was too time-consuming for me and I hoped someone would step up. I think you have my address already.

    Yes, blondie, I do and your card is already on the way. Glad to see you back here.

    If we still do this Xmas thing Please P.M. me thanks.

    I can head it up if there are new people interested. Just PM me your address, if you are interested, and I will compile and send them out to all interested parties.

    We will need to allow for delivery time for any international addresses. I am going to assume worst case that international takes upwards of 3 weeks. Therefore, I will send out the addresses that I get by next Friday (November 22, 2024) to give people time to address and mail them.

    In the meantime, I will check and bump this thread once or twice a day until that date.

    Remember to check the required postage from your own address to the receiver's address when you mail your cards, is more than you think. Don't want the card to get there postage due. I know because I didn't do it the first year. For me, examples Canada, Australia, Germany, UK, most in the US.

    Thanks Blondie,

    Based on the addresses I currently have, I would concur. Mostly US addresses with about 7 going to the UK, Canada, Chile, Australia, and Spain.

    This is a worldwide religion

    Hey carla,

    Nice to hear from you again. Everything is okay with me so far. How are things with you?

    I've been bumping the thread but there hasn't been too many people interested so far. I'm still collecting addresses for anyone interested.
