[Phyrie]

hehehe HO HO HO.
You guys are too funny.

I'm IN on the exchange. I know I have been MIA. But still want to send everyone cards. I'm really going to try and get back on more often after Thanksgiving. It's at my house this year. So I have lots to do in the next week.

I regret that I will have to remove myself from the card exchange this year because of health reasons but I will return next year in full force. I am so shaky from my illness, I have a hard time writing my name but my thoughts and prayers will be with each and everyone of my dear friends at DP.

I wish I could pitch in as well and write you all a card each from the heart, but I'm so unorganised with christmas cards as it is but I'll see if I can get some cards soon and if so, you can add me to the list too. I'll let you know x]

Perhaps this might be a good time to reiterate the "rules" about Christmas Cards? This is my take on it, and if anyone has more to add (or take away!) please feel free:

There is NO requirement to send a card to everyone on the list. You may send to some, all, or any on the list. However, we will assume that if you are new, and ask to be included, it will be because you are interested in sending at least some cards. The older members of the group will be included, and if they wish to join in, they may, but their long-time standing as friends will probably get them a card, even if they can't send any out. We in the "core" group know who we are. Please don't mistake this for "elitism" or "cliquism". It's just that some of us have been here longer. That is all.

We will feel NO guilt about this activity. Some feel comfortable sending small gifts, some postcards, some handmade cards, some personal photos, etc. Some can't afford to send overseas. Some can afford to send only a few, and will send to "special" friends. All these options, and more, are fine. NO guilt, remember? The joy in this activity is in the giving and receiving of tokens of affection and good wishes from friends, heavy accent on the giving. If it was a contest, we would say so. It's not.

This is an activity that has been going on for a few years now, between established members of the group. If you joined yesterday, and have spoken to no one in the group, or haven't made any posts yet, it's unlikely you will be added to this list. This is in no way meant to insult anyone. It's simply a reminder that we are all friends here, some very good friends, and if we don't know you, we probably won't feel comfortable giving out our personal addresses. This is simply common sense, and I hope no one takes offence at this.

That's all I can think of right now. If anyone has anything to add, please do.

Well said, Phyrie!

So...RJM - please keep Sher on the list. Sweetie, if you aren't up to sending cards, that is just fine. We all understand. But Jose and I want to send you one. And I'm sure lots of the others do, too.

[4 the Dogs]

Count me in too!!
