my 19 year old son, he is in the marines and is overseas this is his first christmas away from home.

i just wanted to say i mailed the last bit of cards yesterday sorry i am a bit late but have a few things going on in my life so i need to take care of that first, but now a few things are settling down i got them out, i got lots of cards also i got them around my kitchen door frame and now working on my door frame around the outside door.

i hope you have a wonderful christmas.

i am going to send off my cards the day after thanksgiving, thanks eve for taking this on.

i only signed up for the card swap and i am starting to fill out my cards, atleast the enves with my address.

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo just a few more days to sign up.

i grew up , up north but lived in florida for many years, so i was wondering if you got an pictures. to share.

yes i count clothes but this year i might just give my daughter a gift card as i dont buy cool clothes(she say).

there are 6 of use that celevrate christmas so i bought 6 porclean oranments that i paided a total of 35.00 i also think 35 is alot for one person, i would just tell them sorry but i just cant swing that much money.

i got 4 kids 18,17,16 and 13 and with them all wanted clothes and elec toys i try to set a certain amount of money. so maybe 7 things each plus stocking stuff. most liky my kids will get gift cards this year and they can pick out there own clothes.

I voted i picked the solid purple

cant wait to get started, looks like a good turn out this year

im going to get me some cards today, and hope to start putting a little message in each one next weekend.

as far as last year with the christmas cards you will be giving a list with all the people who signed up and you mail them cards, it was so mych fun last year.

i just want to bump this up and say if anyone is on the fence about this, last year was so much fun, getting cards from all over the country.

i was just thinking i was going to go buy some christmas cards next weekend, i am so excited, it was so much fun last year.

I want to thank you for doing this again, I did it last year and it was so much fun. I sent you a pm with my info, I am joining the card exchange.

i carry a sweater, coke and some type of food to munch on, i usally carry a debit card but this year i will carry half of money cash and the rest on a debit card, last year the debit machines ran so slow, so i will bring some cash.

in my house santa only give to kids 12 and under and its one gift, i give the rest.

my daughter got a game boy advance sp, all you have to do is plug it in to the wall. and you can get alot of cheap games, i have a psp and she dont even use that, oh by the way my daughter is 13.

well i got a few gifts but still need to get some other things. i am so far behind. but hopefuly i will get some more this weekend.:)

i spent about 150 in cash plus i had 90.00 best buy bucks and i had 22.00 cvs dollars and i had a 50.00 best buy gift cert but i only used 13.00 of that..

let me tell you what i did a few years ago, i had my kids rwrite out there christmas, which they did about 20 times, i told them to put the top 3 things they wanted up top with a star, i did not have alot of money but iwanted to get them something that wanted very much, anywasy my daughter wanted a cell phone so every list had cell phone on top, until the last list there was no cell phone on the list, so i asked her you dont want a cell phone phone no more, and fisrt she said ahe wanted something else, well later on she told me she did not put the cell phone on the list because she knew i alread got her one, and i did get her one and as soon as i got it i wraped it, so how did she no i got one, well because she opened the gift, well i pulled out the cell phone and let her unwarped it and then we walked back to the store and i made her return it, boy was she mad, she was 14 . now sure enough when i was a kid i snooped but i would never say i saw it, and she knew i was not able to get her alot of things, but i really wanted her to have that but for her to change the item because she knew i already got it in hopes i would buy the other item also, which was not cheap. my kids know now not to snoop. good luck with whatever you do, by the way hold old are they.

i pmed you a few hours ago,:)
