Hey everyone, I've only received emails from three of you so far. So, I'm moving this thread closer to the top again.

I'll also need your comments about what sort of deadline you'd like on this. December 1? December 7? Whatever you all say.

Timoney, yes, you will be emailed a list, and you can then send cards to the folks on the list. You'll also receive them in return. It's fun!

I've sent you my details Jul

Sent you my stuff!

Jana

will get them to you pronto Julie. Wonder whether we'll manage to fnd Hope at all.

Kerri.

I sent the last 3 years on TNH christmas labels

Info sent!

This will be fun guys! I've done it for several years and it is neat to get cards from tNH friends - photos are good too! Even if there are no kiddos involved! I am wondering about Hope - she may have just gotten too busy with her new house, grandkids, etc. I do have an address I think.

Thanks for taking this on, Jul!

maybe it would still be forwarded.

Jana

Thanks for all the updates, everyone. I don't know how things work in Canada, but in the U.S. your mail will be forwarded for one year. I don't think Hope moved more than a year ago, so if we can't find a new address, maybe we should try sending to the old and crossing our fingers.

Maybe we'll get it returned with the new address stuck on it?

If we mail her stuff, it should smoke her out into the open again!!!

or thereabouts, so we can always try again for Easter!!

Kerri.

Thanks to all who have replied and/or sent me emails. No one has yet mentioned a preference on when these lists get distributed, so unless I hear otherwise, I'm going to shoot for December 1.

Later!

I think we need the "over the pond" addresses pretty soon to get them going but the other ones would be fine for Dec 1. The sooner the better for me. You know I like to have time to procrastinate!

Jana

I emailed you with all my info. I can't wait!

I've been out of town. Will do it by the end of the week.

Our last posting date from the UK to the USA and Canada is 12th December, so 1st December is fine by me

OK, let's set a deadline, then, of Friday, 11/25--the day after Thanksgiving. I will compile the list and email it out sometime over the holiday weekend.

Have a great day!

I have been looking at my budget for Christmas, and things are dire as usual at this time of the year. I am having to reduce spending down to a minimum and sending lots of cards abroad costs quite a bit. I was going to print out a letter and photos to send too, but the printer has run out of ink which is £30 to replace (about $51!) so that's not going to happen before Christmas either.

I'll have to give the exchange a miss. Could you take me off the list please Julie? Maybe next year!

Thanks

I've started planning to make tins of cookies for everyone--but I'm planning cookies that I already have the ingredients for!

Thanks Honey. Take care.

We ALL understand the $$$ situation, but I know that I'd love to send my holiday greetings to YOU and Ds regardless...we know you'll be sending us heartfelt good wishes and that will be just fine, thank-you-very-much!

Love to all!

Blessings,
Lenora

I want to have your address to send you a card! If you feel really bad about it you can send me an e-card.

Thanks, you guys

Jul, I too would like to send a card to Honey and her son. No card needed in return

I was going to leave her on OUR end of the process, because I knew that's how you all would feel!

Julie

Have you emailed the addresses? I haven't received anything.

Jana

Well, yes you have been a little busy! Take your time and congratulations!

Jana

OK--I've emailed the directory out to everyone who submitted.

If I accidently missed anyone, PLEASE let me know. That was a lot of emails coming in (sort of) at once.

Take care!

Julie

I didn't get a list. I'm sending you a pm here with my address and email.

Julie, I've sent an e-mail. I hope it comes through. Did you previously get my addy?

thanks

Just letting you know at least one went through!

Jana

Got mine too!

Did you send it as an attachment with nothing in the body of the message? Yahoo filters those out.

Jamie and Becky's addresses were both on the group send list...grr.

Becky, it was an attachment, but there was also a message in the body.

The only other thing I can think of, is that I sent it from work instead of home...do your programs block mail from addresses not in your address book?

Dunno.

I got the one you sent this morning, thanks a bunch!

Jana

Julie, that's a possibility. I'll put your address in the address book or safe list or whatever it's called. Then would you be able to re-send it? Thanks!

Thanks so much! I'm sorry to put you to trouble. Yahoo has been filtering out things it shouldn't and letting in things it should filter. I could use an "angry" smilie too!

Whooooooooo hoooooo! One more "check" on the TODO list! My Holiday Greetings are signed, sealed, addressed, and stamped (except for the overseas friends)!!! They'll be hitting the post office tomorrow!

Blessings,
Lenora
