Ok guys...I am just about ready to pick the names....how do you think we should do this regarding the addresses? Would it be easiest to PM me all of your addresses..and then I can distribute yours to the person that gets your name??

American Greetings had Christmas cards with that picture in your avatar.

Ok..cool. I think I have all of your addresses (the past few of you who just posted)...there may be a few that I need...and then once I get everyone's...I will PM you your person. :)

Ok guys..I went ahead and picked the names. The following people need to PM me their addresses, so that I can send them to the person that is buying their gift:

Reynolds1863
Cat
Tam


This is really fun!! We should all take pictures of the gifts that we receive..and post them here. :)


Also....those of you who are sending Christmas cards....you can just PM each other your addresses, etc. :)

she keeps late hours so no early deliveries please....

I have recently moved to the following address:

632 Old Hwy. 104- Cabin 12

Lovely motel...12 rooms, only 11 vacancies.

But if you hand deliver it, make sure either I or my new landlord Norman gets it.
He seems touchy about his Mother seeing it, or something.

it's a good one for Christmas time. in fact, since I'm not doing anything now, I may go watch it. 
thanks.

The cartoon Grinch is one of my favorite holiday specials.

Michelle, I got your card....thank you so much!  I'm working on mine (still).

It came the same day as one from Judy, my ex's sister.  I didn't expect one for obvious reasons, so you can imagine how it felt to get it.  She misses us.

Those of you that still haven't PM'd me your mailing address, and wish to receive a card from me....please PM me soon, as I have started filling out my cards and will be sending them real soon. Thanks! :) :)

I sent out my address to the ones that requested it. If you haven't received it, let me know. :)

yes...I thought that it would be a neat idea...and beings that we still have some time (since it is only the beginning of November)...I believe we could pull it off. :)
wow!

I want to exchange some cards.....I'll be in touch.

I'm getting closer to mailing my cards out. i just bought a book of postage stamps  :) if anyone wants a Christmas card from me, pm me & I will send ya one

Buying stamps was on my to-do list today, but since Micah conveniently forgot her permission slip, that's how I spent my lunch hour (locating it then dropping it off).  I'll try again tomorrow.  :)

I seem to have lost the last lot of stamps I bought - they were all Christmas designs as well.  I plan to buy some tomorrow and send my cards out by the weekend

YAY! I have mine stamped and ready to send. I am going to drop them at the post office tomorrow! :)

Yes, we have a similar 'rule' in our house.  My husband's birthday is on the 6th so we don't put any decorations up or anything until after that.  He has conceded that we might not to write some cards next week to get them in the post.  Several people we only exchange christmas cards with so they don't know we've moved to America yet!

Does she hates the 'combined' christmas birthday present thing. I never understand why people do that.

Cat

Gis,

Thanks for the concern, but that child wouldn't know what "combined Christmas/birthday" is!  ;D  I never thought it was fair and I didn't want her complaining like my mom did.  My mom was born on Jan. 4, was a twin, had 2 older brothers, and was born during the Depression.  Would you say she got screwed?  :D

When she was in daycare, we'd have a party at the daycare in early/mid December and she would have a party with a few friends on the first Saturday of December.

When she was in elementary school, I'd bring in cupcakes to the class in early/mid December and she would have a party with a few friends on the first Saturday of December.

As she got older, I could eliminate the school/daycare parties, but she still has a party the first Saturday of December.  I try to make the milestones special, like for her 16th, I took her and a friend to Great Wolf Lodge (on the condition that it be done in June!).  This year will be 18, so she is finally getting her swim party at the Holiday Inn with one friend spending the night then on Sunday we'll go to the mall (we were going to go to Chicago, but I can't pull that off and she decided she'd rather have a bunch of "little" stuff than one big one).

We always go out to eat with my parents to celebrate her birthday (this year it's a Sunday so it will be the day before).  She always gets to open up a couple gifts (wrapped in birthday paper, not Christmas paper).  When she was about 6, I asked her how many she wanted to open on her birthday and how many she wanted to open on Christmas.  She said that she only wanted to open 2 or 3 on her birthday because her birthday wasn't the most important one.  It's been like that ever since.

I have a January birthday...and even though I never had any combined gifts....it was like, when my birthday rolled around...it wasn't as exciting getting gifts because I had just recently received Christmas gifts. I always wanted to have a fall (October especially) birthday...but, it didn't work that way. ;D :D

I get so mad at mom & dad,
All the days they picked to have me had.
I'm only getting half of what I oughta
'Cause my birthday comes on Christmas.

My son's birthday is at the end of January.  Sometimes it works well because you can buy things that link in with his favourite Christmas presents

and everyone always thinks they're the first ones to do this..... 8-P


You get this a lot right!  Either that or you get a lot of gag gifts....or both!



I hate it when people do the obvious and think that they are being clever...that's why I go by TQ (Q to my friends  ;) )...because my name is too easy to make fun of and I'd get it everyday.... even my friends husband still does it because he knows it bugs me....

I'm getting my van repaired tomorrow (today actually) morning, and so I have time to kill.  I will be dragging my Christmas cards with me to finially finish them.  I have some of them done (even bought stamps) but can't seem to remember to take them with me when I go out and drop them at the post office.  They are sitting by my purse so hopefully I won't forget.  Hopefully.

For those sending things to Europe a 90 cents stamp works as long as the card weighs less than an ounce.

OK, Confession time.

As I was hurrying to finish up my cards today, I *think* I put the wrong card in the wrong envelope...  ;D

So, if you card doesn't match your envelope OR if it says something like... "I miss you" and we've never met... um... sorry about that, not that I don't actually miss you, naturally being the wonderful person you are, I WOULD miss you, if I had actually met you...but..yeah ok.  *slinks away quietly*

Oh and if I called you grandma, don't be insulted, it is just a term of affection (and also the wrong envelope)  Curses for trying to hurry.

I've just returned from my trip to the post office to have my cards stamped, and guess what I found on my return?  ::)



omg  :o You just reminded me that I just sent one to the Netherlands with regular postage. oh crap! Henks not gonna let me send him anymore cards. I'M SORRY  :(  crap crap crap


Yep. Your card has arrived (without delay or surcharge). :)

So...it can be done with just the $0.41 stamp, but I wouldn't make a habit of it, if I were you. ;)

No way! They charged me $0.90 for an overseas stamp. Crazy postal workers. :D

Oh yeah, I'm working on mine right now. I have a lot to send, not just to you folks on here, but to all our friends. I never knew how loved we are. ;D

that's surprising it arrived with just one stamp. I didn't think it would so I sent a 2nd card just to make sure and it has 3 stamps on it.


I just got Quirk's and Badfingerfan's cards today.  Thank you. :)
happy to hear you got mine & you're welcome.

yup, Mt. Diablo neighbors Krissy. I would send you a card but you moved from the last known address I had from last years list and your return address on the card is not readable since the USPS stamped it right on your address and I can't read it, so If you'd like me to mail you a card, PM me.  8)

You're so welcome, my friend (near neighbor)  :)


You're in Cali, too?

How far are you from Sacramento?

Thanks, Michelle for the card.  :)

You only have to change one letter: it's "vriend". It's pronounced differently, though. The "ie" is pronounced much like your "ea" in "eat".

cards going out soon...

thanks for my cards, everyone!

Karen- yours is funny.  "to Karen from Karen"
took me a minute to figure out which Karen.

I drove by Martinez, Concord, Pleasant Hill & Walnut Creek on my way to work today  :)  which is not my normal route.


Oh wow, Is that suppose to be 680/242 route? I don't travel by freeway anymore, but my work is near Treat.

Hey guys!! no problem...I'm glad that you loved your cards! :)


Thank you to Mike and Krissy...I received your cards in the mail today...they were just lovely!!! :)

I'm wondering if mine have gotten lost in the mail!

Henk and Mike appears to be the only ones who received theirs.

Oh wow, Is that suppose to be 680/242 route? I don't travel by freeway anymore, but my work is near Treat.
I was on Hwy 4 Martinez and changed onto 680 south past all the other cities on my way to San Ramon, but 242 does connect with 680  :)

When I got home from work, Diane was baking some cookies which is a wonderful thing to smell when you enter your home, and she told me "you got some more Christmas cards from your people"  Thanks karen, (Kathie>"Reynolds1863*), and Gis. 

cards going out soon...

thanks for my cards, everyone!

Karen- yours is funny.  "to Karen from Karen"

That's an area of the state that I'm not very familiar with...but maybe I can travel up there someday!


It's a nice part of the state. Like they say, if you live in Northern California, you'll turn soft. We're all about rolling hills, wineries, and scenic backroads.

aww, you're welcome Amy .  Since the Board mascot is the Penguin, I was glad to find cards with a little penguin on them.

It was perfect!  I love penguins anyway, which is just one more reason why finding the Board was such a bonus.  I especially loved the stockings by the bedpost--with the fish for the penguin and the cheese for the mouse.  Too cute!!!

And, yes, your note was very sweet!  :P  Thank you for it all.
