Subject: Christmas Card Exchange 2011

Written By: Henk on 12/07/11 at 8:46 am

Well, since nobody else started a thread so far...

Anyone in?  ??? Not sure if I'll be able to make it this year... :-\\

In case you want to send me a card: I HAVE MOVED. Please PM me if you want my new address.

Well done on starting this thread.  I meant to start it several times but got distracted reading other threads.

Anyone else moved in the past year and not told us?

OK, so I was fiddling around somewhat on the Hallmark site...and then I thought 'Oh, what the heck..Let's order some cards'.  :D

So maybe...Santa's got a little surprise for you after all! ::)

I would love to, but I don't have the money this year.  Things are tight with paying for Sarah's broken leg.  I really need to get insurance.

I usually go through 3 boxes of cards. I used to get a couple of different ones and try to mix and match and then I asked myself why? I just get 3 boxes of the same now. I also NEVER get any that say "Merry Christmas"-NOT because of the so-called "war on Christmas" but because I send these out to not only my Christian family/friends, but also my Jewish family/friends, my Pagan family/friends, etc. etc.  I always have a few left over but I never use ones from previous years.


BTW Henk, you can give me your address. I may actually get to my cards before the first of the new year.  :D ;D ;D ;D ;D

As do I. Last year I sent out "penguin" cards to everyone, but I barely used half the box. So this year I decided to send out a few more of those, as well as a couple other kinds, that way I have more than one design to choose from. And I still have some remaining penguin cards that I just might send out again next year.

Got Q and Effie's card and Badfingerfan (Mike)'s cards today.  Thank you.  Got Henk's card a couple days ago.  Thank you too.  I think that is all the penguins.  My brain is pretty much mush lately and I'm lucky to be able to hold semi-intelligent conversation at all anymore. 


How's the hubby feeling?

Well he is better, it seems like we keep passing this virus back and forth.  It's my turn this week, apparently.  I think I need a full-body transplant.  Hoping this is the last round of illness in this household, but I'm not holding my breath.

Pay attention Q, when you are writing to a Spaniard for Spanish is the solo language that has got a Ñ in the alphabet, and you mustn't forget it.

Año is year but ano is asshole, so let my butts in peace and all the prosperity for the next year dear  ;) ;D

You could try ALT + 0241. 

You have to keep the ALT key down and use the number pad. If it doesn't work-try to put the number lock on.

I probably should have looked up the lyrics online and wrote those in the card.  I can't hear distinctively enough to sound out anything he sang in that song (in Spanish) other the Feliz Navidad. 

This year I actually tried to broaden my Christmas wishes, I actually found several cards written in a language that looked like Dutch (although it could have been Danish) I'm hoping it said something nice  :-[ (and Henk could read it.)  Don't know where I got the cards, they were in amongst all the rest of my cards...  :-\\ :-\\

I need to read as I listen to anything that comes to me, if I wanna understand a bit. Only time can improve your ears in decoding what you hear.
