Time for the Annual GP Christmas Card Exchange for anyone that would like to take part.
It's a simple deal - if you want to participate, it entails exchanging mailing addresses via PM with whoever all signs up to take part, and mailing snail mail Christmas cards to everybody.
If you want in on the yuletide frivolities, post your intentions.

I think I do...but with moving out on my own..I'm not sure when I'll have my new address. Hoping to know by Dec 1 or Dec 8 at the latest.
What would be our deadline?

Can it be said that if you don't want to participate in it completely that you just handle it via PM instead of making it obvious you only want to send cards to certain people? That was rude and slightly irritating last year.
Can't wait till holographic cards are invented!
Who did that?! That's mean. I want a card from all! :demand:
Yeah, if you want to be selective about who you send to, just do that on your own in private. Otherwise, just join the fray. lol
We never have set an exact specific deadline before....I dunno...?
I WILL send cards this year I promise

I think I still have cards from about 5 years ago that I need to send. LOL

year before :( I found the ones I was supposed to send last year when I moved this summer. oops! :cool:
In other news....
Sign Up People.....
I am debating. I nearly forgot to send mine out last year, and this year might not be any better. I will post soon on whether I shall use Pony Express (aka usps) or simply post "Merry Christmas!" on the forum. :P
Gift exchanges are for the birds. Pardon me while I try to pretend I care! :laughhard: Sorry, can't.
Gifts? We're exchanging gifts?
I accept large bills, Scrooge....I'll PM you my address.

I don't really have the money to send cards this year. But most of you have my address if you wanna send me a card. I can't promise cards though, so I won't sign up, eventhough I love it. Lol

Oh, pick your panties out of your crack and pardon me.
I just got your affirmative statement mixed in with the discussion of whether or not you sent any last year.
:P

As much as I love getting stuff in the mail, I think E-cards are pretty fun too.
I got cards today!! Send me addresses people!!
I'm not sending my address until after Saturday ya'll.
That's when I move in. lol
I suppose we can cope with that. :smirk2:
Anybody else want in the fray?
Never know, somebody might send you a crisp ten dollar bill or something.....
It sure ain't gonna be me, but still....lol.... :P
Since you're such a rich bird farmer, I don't see why not. ;)
I will gladly accept any denomination bill from anyone who wants to send me one :cool:
What if it's Methodist?

Oh my goodness, that's the funniest joke you've ever told!
The $6.13 I have in available funds makes a great punchline. :smirk2:

Hey! Then half the work is already done!
I have my cards filled out and ready. Whether they actually get to the mailbox is another story.
Hey! We could always make up our own white elephant New Year's card exchange. It's where you use just the fronts of cards you got for Christmas, write on the back, and send them after the New Year. lol
I still need to send out my new address. I will do this afternoon when I have more time. If things are sent to my old address though they will still get to me :cool:
I just tried to PM y'all all at once with my address. Please let me know if it didn't makw it.
John :waving:
Handed my Christmas cards to the mailman about 10 minutes ago :cool:
I got two cards today!! :clap:
Sorry I've not yet mailed mine out. lol
I got a card from the vetclinicgirl.
My cards are ready to go. I just need stamps.
Got a card that smelled of herbs today....

I couldn't tell if it had an aroma or not due to my sinus's, but their is a plant on the front of the card......... :hippy:
BOL! :pound:
How many leaves does it have?
Looked like she had pulled a few off and kept them for herself....
:pound: sillies
I got a card from Heather! :clap: Made my day.
Mailed mine today!!
I got Jenn's card today :cool:
As did I.
Yippee! :clap:
Thanks, I received cards froim Ladies Heather and JennJenn when i finally got home and checked the mail.
Lady JennJenn, truly unique card..I _really_ liked it! :clap2:
Lady Heather, I think I've received themon occasion before, but thanks for tre address to "Sir John". I've never asked the lady whio is postmaster in my small town what she thinksmof suc addressed items! :thumbsup2:
John :waving:
Haha thanks Sir John!! I just moved out...and cards are so expensive!! So creative was the way to go for me lol
Depends on what you're going for....You can get em for a dollar at the dollar store.... Not necessarily the greatest cards on the planet....just depends on your taste. lol
*wonders if Seth got his for free*
It'd be hilarious if you did but not Christmas ones and instead sent us various Greeting cards with "Merry Christmas" written inside.
No, it's a shame that I don't. I've thrown out thousands of dollars worth of cards and other merchandise. You can't take any of it though, they'll can you.
That I don't understand. Wal-Mart throws out bananas as soon as they get ripe, the factory where I work throws perfectly good, very sturdy crates in the dumpster, you throw lots of cards away, and in all cases it MUST be thrown in the trash. Someone actually using it is eeeeeevil!
It's like a mirror universe where saying "Waste not, want not" will get you thrown in jail or something.

McDonald's used to be like that when I was a pimply faced teenager working there. But we had a manager that was cool and on his nights to work- well, we ate well. :biglaugh:

I can understand in some aspects of it, but it still seems goofy....
It can be cheaper overall for a company to just trash stuff outright and right it off rather than make the effort to re-do, re-use, or whatever.
Like in the case with cards and party goods for example, it seems to me like it could make more sense to just mark stuff down dirt cheap when it's being replaced with a new line of something and just try to sell it off, you'd get more out of it than just trashing it.... But the time, display space, and all those logistics are what make it cheaper to just pitch it.... It does seem really wasteful though.
All the leftover seasonal stuff gets trashed, and other product lines if a change is going to be made, get trashed.... For example, Wal-Mart had a line of Barbie party goods. They added them to the display line and they weren't up very long before they took them out again, and everything left was to be destroyed.
Just weird.
I got Sethers card today. It was full of sweet nothing's. :hypocrite:
Don't tell melbs!
I got Seth's card!
Seth, I make NO promises... lol
You know what's sad, I can't even remember what exactly I said in either of yours. LOL
I [and APB] received our card from Seth yesterday! I'm glad to report all 3 cars are currently running and all 3 currently have gasoline in them :cool:
And thanks for including Brandon :)
I do vaguely remember that.... :P
Mine had a "dearest fairy cakes" :freaky2:
:blush:

Gee! When I said that on JABS, everyone got mad and had hissy fits!
Whats jabs? And around these parts Meller speaks her mind. Haha we smite her and move along.
It's that weed she smokes. Makes her mouth run a bit...
:pound: take that in love, just how I know you meant it... *giggle*
:hypocrite:
I'm going to Bless FairyCakes for that.
Wow I'm getting all kinds of loving blessings from Sethers this week!
:clap: :hypocrite:
I had to bless Jenn for that one too :cool:
I shall bless you for blessing her, and bless her again. :freaky2:
Woohoo!! Bring on the blessings! Haha
But what if blessings come through raindrops?
Allow me to be the storm cloud....I have smited every blooming one of ya. :P
