8th Annual Christmas Card Exchange for 2013

Michael W. Smith · #1 09/16/13, 09:32 AM

It's getting that time of year to think about the Annual Christmas Card Exchange for 2013. If it's done this year, this should be the 8th Annual Card Exchange.
I have set it up for the past 2 or 3 years, and while I would like to participate this year, I would like to give someone else the chance to head it up - I just don't have the time this year.
Do we have any takers?
If you have any questions just do a search on this site for "Christmas Card Exchange" and you will see the rules and how it was done in the past couple of years.
Perhaps, whoever heads it up will have some other ideas for it this year, rather than the "same old, same old" set up by me.
I believe it's a good thing to have some new people involved that might have some "Fresh, new ideas".
I won't be offended in the least!

I would like to participate again this year.

I'd be willing to give it a go, as far as setting up, but I don't have the $$ to mail BOTH an address list to everyone AND a card to everyone as well. Michael, what exactly did you do on your end that is so time-consuming; type up the address list? respond to everyone on here?
Thanks

Well . . . . . . . . . after thinking a bit, I think I do have time to do it again this year.

Give me a few days to get the real signup thread started and going.

I'm with Laura on this one. The annual Christmas Card Exchange is one of my entire family's best Christmas gifts!! We love seeing the cards from all over.

Michael, please p.m. me your address and I'll send you stamps or money or whatnot to help defray the costs.

Laura Zone 5 & stamphappy - I do not do this to get money - I do it to share the love at Christmastime.

I think this time around instead of me snailmailing the list, we will try emailing it - it's kind of pointless for me to send the list to you and then turn around and send a Christmas card. And I know last year, several people were waiting on the list that the Post office was slow in getting it to them.

I'll get the real thread started within the next day or two.

Thanks Michael, let me know and I will sticky it. I think e-mailing the list should work fine. It is much easier and if someone doesn't get it they can let you know fairly quickly.
