Christmas Card Exchange? - Page 3

gmp59 · 12-04-2008, 07:33 PM

my son opened the card and didn't know suprises were inside and then did not tell me and put it so when i opened it the surprises went everywhere he laughed so hard he was almost crying. i am still sweeping up surprises

i wish i would have thought of it. i would have sent surprises to all my online friends and my family. not sure if everyone has a good sense of humor but watching my son get a kick out of me spreading surprises everywhere was priceless.
thanks for the laughs this time of year with all the stress and money troubles everyone is facing you need a good laugh

wanted to say, as the years before, my youngest opens all the cards.
she loves to see where they are coming from. it has actually become a tradition here, to recieve the cards from as my husband calls you, mom's make believe friends.
but they blanket our entertainment center.
wouldn't be a holiday without the exchange. thanks johannah for taking care of the work.
mine are filled out and addressed, just gotta get the stamps.
thanks all involved for making my holiday much, much brighter.

Yes, I have received cards from my make-believe friends, and some surprises, which I am still picking up off the carpet LOL!
My friends should be getting mine soon as I mailed them last Friday.

I didn't do the card exchange this year.
Someone was so nice to send me a card anyway.
I thought that was so special.

Make believe friends? Oh well. I really enjoy getting them all. Uh, Franny, my husband was not happy with all the "stuff"! I got a kick out of it, he vacuumed the mess!

My cards are finally in the mail today. I hope I sent some Arizona warmth and sunshine along with them...Ed and I and the dogs took a nice leisurely walk done to the mailbox to mail them today. I hope those of you who are getting storms right now warm up soon. We're about to get rain in the next few days I think, but it was nice and sunny for our walk.

Considering that my vacuum cleaner quit working, and all I have is a Bissell stick broom now, I'm glad I can't afford to participate...LOL

Seriously, I wish I could since you all are having so much fun!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

More cards today...and one with a surprise!!! They are all so festive and fun to open...Thanks to all who participated and Happy holidays to everyone

Judy - I got your card yesterday, and we are expecting up to a foot of snow today - so the Arizona sunshine didn't make it...yet, anyway.

My 3YO granddaughter Breena has absolutely loved opening the cards. We have to examine each picture, read them & I tell her where they're from.
