I noticed there was no thread yet for this year, so I figured I'd give it a go. After all, it is getting to that time of year again. We've done this in past years, and I'd like to do it again this year. I am writing out my cards this week and hope to get them in the mail by next week.

To anyone who has my address: it's still the same as it was last year.


Participants:

karen
Henk

Mine are all written <smug grin>.  Except for one, I'm waiting on an address.  Unless anyone else out there decides they'd like to join in. Send a PM out if you do.

I haven't moved either since last year, so if you have my address feel free to send me a card. If you want my address, just ask! :)

Not sure if I'll get round to sending Christmas cards this year... :-\\ Rather busy with work, and I've already plans for the weekends too... So don't expect them to be in time, anyway!

I'm still where I've always been.  :(

Stupid lottery  >:(










:D

I can't do cards this year.  It totally snuck up on me. 

I'm in.

Address is the same as last year.

I already got your one last Friday. :o Man, that was fast!

I'm going to be sending a handful of mine out today.

Maybe I will participate next year. Even if I did now I wouldn't get all of the cards out on time. I would have liked to though :)

Got a card from patty  ;D and Karen

Got a card from patty  ;D and Karen



I got one from Karen, too.


I haven't done mine yet.  :-[  I WILL get them out before Christmas-whether they get delivered before Christmas is another story.  :-\\



Cat

I have at least one more to write, and I hope to get it out in the mail by the end of the week.
Still haven't received any yet.

I'm in!!!  Send me a PM for an address exchange.  :)

Got Karen's yesterday.  It was cute.  Thanks. :)

So much for telling her I was in a multi-dimentional time warp fighting off intergalatic Confederate soldiers.  Spoil sport!! :P  Yeah, I was stuck on Fakebook.

Ladies and gentlemen.... my cards are out. :) I didn't write personal messages in all of them - hope you're not disappointed if you're one of the 'unlucky' ones.

Reynolds and Karen K.: I'm still awaiting your new adresses.

  I'm right now sitting deep into my armchair...just writing the Xmas cards I usually send, pleased, to my closer penguin pals.
I try to concentrate into a sealed envelope all the feelings I gathered for them in my heart and in my soul, just in a few hand-writing words.

Lately I've been out more than in, but the penguin feeling never disappeared, so here I am again to be in the endless Christmas Card exchange.

Take good care of yours....times are getting weird and tough.

I'm working on my cards....

my penmanship is crap.... don't judge me... just be impressed I'm finally doing it...

I sent out a couple more in the mail this past Monday, but...

I still haven't received any yet.

Got a card today from Patty. THANK YOU!!!


All of mine-with the exception of one, are done & out. I need to get that last one done-and it will be out very soon.

Henk, I'm mailing it tommorow.  Depending on the speed of the postal service you'll get it by New Years.

considering I got mine to the post office at 615 yesterday that was pretty quick!

then again we live pretty close to each other... I'm in your hood every month.

Got one from Belle today.  Thanks!

Oh vey!  I've been very naughty this year.  I'm way behind, got a handful done and actually into the mail.  Still have more to write, but I am trying...  At this rate, you'll receive them by about May... I've always been odd so that should be of no surprise to anyone.
Gonna work on them more tomorrow. 

At least today we got some snow, so I'm slightly more in the mood to write them (more so then in previous days anyway).

Glad some of the one I did manage are making their way there...

I've gotten some really nice ones from Karen (from UK), nally, Cat and Carlos.  I need to hang them on my archway like I usually do, just haven't felt well enough to decorate much...  :-\\

Cool. However, yours will probably arrive after Christmas; I realized I'd forgotten to put it in the mail! (Silly me.) It'll go out first thing tomorrow.

Got cards form Paco (yesterday) and Karen K (today). :) Love them!! Thanks guys!

I want to thank several of you for fondly thinking of me this Christmas even if I haven't been around much. thanks for the cards I got from Jeff (nally), Cat & Carlos, statsqueen (Amy), karen, Gis, Jacks (Chrissy), ladybug (Shannon), & Belle du Jour (Karen). mine will arrive after Christmas because I waited too long and just wrote them all this evening and stamped them and they will be in your mailboxes soon.  8)

Today I received cards from Quirk, Statsqueen and a very special one from Q. Thank you so much, My Friend. I almost started crying when I read it.

Hi friends ! I've been out some days...at wife's parents home, four hundred miles western from our own.

Once again I got a deep strange pleasure beneath my penguin tails.....just two xmas cards were sleeping into my mailbox, from Michigan and The Netherlands, and it was so wonderful to read those handwriting words.

Many thanks Amy and Henks, they look lovely on my living room.

  :)

Got a card from both Paco and Q today.  Thanks!  Sarah thought it was really cool to get a card from Spain.


:) Tell Sarah as long as you want this "new tradition" won't stop...now you can "touch" some Spanish stuff which comes right from my heart ;)

Today I received a card from Krissy ("Hotstuff"); she was kinda busy last month, but finally got her cards in the mail. Inside her card were four scenic photos that she took at various locations in northern CA.

If there's anyone interested in exchanging Christmas/holiday cards with me this year just send me a private message and let me know! Don't worry I don't bite, and my Christmas cards are very nice! :)

I'll be sending them out again, I have addresses. Hopefully I'll get them out sooner than last year. I think I put them in the mail the day after Christmas.  :-[

I plan to write mine soon and then post the one for the US when I get there just before Christmas.

Mine are going in the mail today...which means y'all should get them before Christmas. :)

Mailed most of mine yesterday, along with a small gift for everyone who requested a Christmas card from me.

Katluver and Henk, I hope you both get my cards before Christmas, I did send them out yesterday but I know you both live in different postal areas far away.

Cat

I got another card in the mail today. Unfortunately, it was one I sent out myself (to Tam)... :-\\ Apparently I don't have her current address. :(

Thank you to the one who sent me a card this December 2013.
Um, right now I cannot remember...but you are in California like I am.
Mike?? Well, it meant a lot to have a greeting card appear -unbidden from "out in the world" as it were, and I wanted to express my thanks.  MANY THANKS.  I would have sent a thank you Card in return, but my $budget is not so good right now and I can't even afford a stamp!  I am borrowing a computer as it is right now to post this!  :)

sorry Michelle. I usually sent you one but I only got about 30% of my cards finished this year...  I posted on FB but not here that I had every intention of finishing my christmas cards but never really got around to it.

Well, it's that time of the year again. Anyone wishing to take part in the card exchange this year? I know I will.

I'm gonna try to get some out this year.  TRY being the operative word.

Does anyone have Gis' address that they can send me in a pm?  I've lost hers and she always sends me one.  I might have to get alot of people's addresses, I am so scattered this time of year.

I won't be sending out any cards this year.  :( Sorry if you were looking forward to receiving one from me.

Money's a bit tight this year, and then there's the issue of time - a commodity there seems to be less and less of. :-\\


Of course, I have nothing against receiving cards from you guys...so feel free to PM me for my address. :)

I will be trying to send some out - though they might be a little late this year.

Sorry that it's been a while since I've been MIA (took a break and then there were computer/password issues). Anyway, I would have loved to send a few out, but it looks like it might be a little too late.  :(  If you still want to exchange, just send a message with your address.

Today I received a card from:

amjikloviet

Thank you so much!! Your card is on its way. :)

Got a beautiful card from Patty & James today. Thank you. I haven't sent mine out YET. They are sitting on the dinning room table waiting for me to do them up. Hopefully, I will BEFORE Christmas. lol.



Cat

I sent more out yesterday and this morning. Still a few left to send.

I will be trying to send some out - though they might be a little late this year.

I always send out tons of cards, but this year I moved and started a new job in December; I"m not quite organized enough to send them out. BUT if you are one of those people (Henk) that I always exchange cards with , please PM me and I will give you my new address. FYI, if you sent something to me, it will be forwarded by the post office.

Thanks and merry merry!

Well, I wasn't planning on sending cards out this year again... But now that it is this time of year I feel somewhat guilty. So if anyone wants to send me a card, or wants me to send them a card, by all means PM me!

(Of course, I cannot guarantee a delivery before Christmas)

My cards would get to people faster if I remembered to put them in a postbox

Thank goodness. I don't know why it takes my cards this long to arrive, whereas cards from the US and UK seem to be getting here in no time. :-\\ It just about makes me want to give up on the whole Christmas card exchange...

I had a lovely card from you Henk.  I also received a great card from Patty and James

I have just started a preliminary list of people to write cards to for this year.

To those of you who wish to send a card to me, my address is the same as it was last year. (If you don't have it, please PM me and I will gladly respond with it.)

Penguin cards purchased - just need to write them.

Does anyone have a new address for Patty?

Anyone care to exchange Christmas cards with me this year?

You can PM me with your postal address, and I'll gladly do the same. :)

Don't worry, I'm not a stalker and I would never give out your postal addresses to anyone.

Please bear in mind though that it might take weeks for cards from you to arrive at my address, or vice versa.

You know what..? Count me in this year. :)

Have you moved recently?  I have an address from a few years back!

I have her address from last year, so I messaged her a few days ago to see if it was still the same this year. I still have yet to get a response.

Well you haven't posted all that regularly this year Henk


Not just THIS year, truth be told... ;)

Anyway - cards have been posted today. :)

Anyone care to exchange Christmas cards with me this year?

You can PM me with your postal address, and I'll gladly do the same. :)

Don't worry, I'm not a stalker and I would never give out your postal addresses to anyone.


I got your lovely card today! :) Thanks!

No problem because our Christmas hasn't happened yet. It will begin tonight when Carlos' youngest and her crew arrive this evening. The rest will be arriving tomorrow for a total of 13 overnight guests.  :o :o :o  For us Christmas will actually be this Sunday.

Oh, and today we received a card from Karen & Family. Thank you.


Cat

The time is almost here again... thought I'd give this thread another bump for this year. Anyone in?

I will be sending some cards out

Anyone else interested in exchanging Christmas cards with me?

I'm glad it arrived in time for the 2018 celebrations. :D

I'm gonna need to get started on this again pretty soon. Who's in?

Anyone wishing to exchange/mail cards this year?

I have received lovely Christmas cards from the following members which I hang proudly ever year over my fireplace

Howard
nally
Spyro Kev
Delaney
TRex
Spacibo Guy

I'm sorry, but there will be no cards from me this year.

^ no worries; Merry (early) Christmas to you Henk! http://www.inthe00s.com/Smileys/santa/smiley.gif

Today I actually received two of them in the mail: one from Jessica Ann and one from Kathie (whose current username, I believe, is Reynolds1863).

I received your card, Nally.  Thank you! It's beautiful, reminds me of Christmases of yore.

I did not, however receive it or send mine.  I can't find it!

Got a card from Karen & family today. Thank you.


Cat

Oh, I also got a card from Amy (Statqueen) last Tuesday.

And all members that I've sent cards to have let me know that they've received the ones I've sent!

Everyone in my family hates gift cards. My dad threw the ones I gave him in the trash; I lost a few 10 dollars worth

Holiday cards are better.

OK guys, it's that time of year again... and I hope to be in this year.

So if anyone wants a card from me, please send me a PM with your current address.... ASAP please! :)

Henk

I will work on my list maybe next week and hopefully finalize it by December 1. :)

To all who have my mailing address: it's still the same.

To all who wish to receive a card from me: please PM me with your address, and I will gladly PM you back with mine!

You are doing better that me. I just ordered mine yesterday and they should get here by the end of the week and then I get to start writing them.


Cat

I wrote out three of them the other day, all to people on this site who live in the Eastern time zone, and put them in the mail yesterday.

Mine arrived on Friday.

I posted mine to everyone yesterday

Got one from Henk today with a VERY nice message.  :) Thank you.

I'm still working on mine.  :-[  I was hoping to have them done by now but no such luck. But, I do believe that I am earlier than I have been in previous years.


Cat

Wow! It is the 11th and all the cards are done! As I am writing this, Carlos is on the way to the Post Office to mail them all. (Had close to 40 this year.) Now, to finish up with the gifts for the grandkids.


Cat

Glad you like it!
I'm not exactly sure anymore what I wrote to whom, but I do remember it all came from the heart. :)

Yes, I got mine out extremely early this year, and it seems to be paying off.

What was really weird was the day after I got your card, I was reading an article in the Washington Post and at the end of the article, they said the same thing that was on the front of your card-a term I never heard before (Merry Everything & Happy Always). Something tells me that I am going to hear that term a lot more-and I first read it on your card.


Cat

Received a lovely card from Amy (Statqueen) today. She is doing well. :)

Got a card from Karen & family. Thank you.


Cat

I couldn't send any holiday cards out this year  :-[

But I wish everyone a great Christmas!

Got a card from Cat & Carlos earlier this week, and one from Jessica & Rice Cube yesterday! :)

Thank you all so much!

Yesterday I mailed out two holiday cards, both of which are for members on this site.

I still have yet to receive any.

I won't be able to send out holiday cards this year because of the move and I'm really busy. But I will send you something electronically. You can make a photo copy of it and put it in your scrapbook. It'll count as a card! And they usually look really nice.

Saturday I received a card in the mail from Amy (Statqueen), who hasn't been on here in a long while (but I am very much in touch with her on FB).

Christmas cards seem to have traveled very slowly this year. Some domestic cards I sent here in the US in the second week of December are just getting to people yesterday and today. On the other hand, some larger packages I mailed got to the recipient in a matter of a few days. Very odd.

That is quite interesting.

Mail in general seems to have traveled slowly as well, depending on where you're sending it.

I've sent out a dozen or so cards a couple of weeks ago. Haven't had any confirmation that they've actually arrived... :-\\

There's also some good news, however: I DID receive a Christmas card from Cat & Carlos. :) Thanks guys!

Henk, your card arrived this morning.  Great picture and message

I received one from a local friend on Friday, which reminded me that I gotta get my card-writing started!

I had a lovely penguin card from Henk

I posted mine out last week.

Received a card from Karen. Thank you. Ironically it is the same day that I mailed yours off.  :-[  Yeah, you may get it before New Years. (It was sitting here for about a week to go to the Post Office. Sorry.)


Cat

Got a card from Henk today. Thank you. You should be getting yours...hopefully, before next year.  :-[

Maybe only those whose address you already have are interested in doing this

I still need to make my list of addressees.

Yeah, that may be the case. It's mostly the "old" gang that are still on the bandwagon, I'd say.
The "younger" folks probably don't even know what a card is!  ;D ;D :D (j/k)

Anyway, cards are already in the mail. :)

Haven't done mine yet. They are sitting on the table waiting for me to embark on that chore endeavor. I do about 40 every year so I tend to procrastinate doing them.

And we got it today. Thank you.


I started working on mine but as I went to write, it was like, "Minerva stop!" "Minerva, get down!" As I'm writing, there are little paws attacking my arm from underneath. After doing about a 1/4 of them, I didn't want to deal with it anymore. I need to work on them when she is taking a nap.


Cat

And we got it today. Thank you.



Oh wow, that's pretty quick. Hope you liked it.

She was asleep today so I managed to get some done but didn't finish before she woke up.

In yesterday's mail I received a card from Amy (Statqueen)... and today I finally got around to mailing a card to her. http://www.inthe00s.com/Smileys/santa/smiley.gif
