Well, it seems like I have really screwed up with the card list. I emailed everyone (or PM'd) everyone that we had a late comer to the card exchange and to add their information to the list.

I sent the list by mail, so many people didn't have the list (or may not yet), so I got a bunch of emails saying "I didn't get the original list, please resend it."

If you have not received the mailed list by the middle of next week let me know and I'll email it to you.

I thought I was on top of this thing, and tried to prevent any goof ups, but it seems I goofed it up myself by confusing everyone!!!! At least I haven't heard from anyone yet that I misspelled their name or anything on the address!

Sorry for the confusion! I sent the list by SNAIL MAIL so if you haven't received it yet, your post man should be bringing it soon!

Sorry for the confusion folks!

Thank you so much for all the work you did on getting the list put together and mailed out. We received our first Christmas card yesterday, anxiously waiting now for the mail.

I just spent 2 and a half hours looking for the e-mail that contained Cabin Fever's and Wind in Her Hair's address. I can't find their address. Michael, can you please help me? Thank you.

Getting the mail is so exciting around here right now.... The kids love getting it and dividing up the cards to open.... AAAAHHHHS and OOOHHHHS "lookat this one mommy" is my favorite sound!!

Thanks to all who participated! It is such a great thing every year!

Merry Christmas!

Okay folks, I'm going to have to ask for some serious forgiveness here. I cannot participate in the Christmas card exchange after all. My husband served me with divorce papers on Friday and all my money now has to go to an attorney.

I truly appreciate all the cards I have already received. If you haven't sent your cards out yet, please remove me from your list.

Again, so sorry this has happened.

Thank you everyone for the beautiful cards we have been receiving. The kids are SO excited about the mail, and to see where each card is from.

Foaly - don't worry about the card list. That is the least thing for you to be concerned with now. Our card was sent out today - you can use every little bit of good wishes at a time like this.

Now why would anyone remove you from their list foaly? Like homeschool6 said, you can use every little bit of good wishes each card contains right now. I am so sorry to hear about your troubles. Please enjoy my card and don't feel bad about not being able to send out cards!

Ravenlost--I just thought it would be appropriate to remove my name from the list since I cannot participate this year. But, hey, I'll take all the happy greetings I can.
