Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / September 2006Holiday card list
It is almost September 1 which means I should be working on the holiday card list if you would like for me to do it again this year. I'm more than willing to do it. I don't think there were any problems last year, but if you'd rather someone else do it just let me know.

Thanks for volunteering again. Diane > It is almost September 1 which means I should be working on the holiday > card list if you would like for me to do it again this year. All right, I'll get started on it right away. Well, I'll get started on it next week since this weekend is holiday and we're going to be traveling. Lacey has improved 90% from where she was just Saturday so I've decided I can go with DH to Topeka, KS for a race. When I get back I'll send out the first call for addresses. For those who are new to the group and unfamiliar with our ritual, each year between December and January we exchange holiday cards with anyone who would like to join. Sometimes it extends several month past January. We have two lists: The first list includes the names and addresses of everyone who agrees to exchange cards. Then we have a second list of those people who, for various reasons, are unable to send cards this year but would love to receive a card if you are so inclined. Actually there are three lists because we have one list that includes families of members who have crossed the bridge and we always add them to the list, there are one or two who are not well enough to send cards so we include them on list as well. Sometimes you try to get off the list but the "regulars" refuse to let that happen and you end up on a short list of people you know well. Cards are, for the most part, cat themed and many of them include things inside. Things is the best way to describe some of the stuff that arrives. You might get cat hair or kibbles. Last year my cats got a great present from someone who lurks - they got plastic tie wraps used to tie wire and cords. They thought those were better than the ribbons on the gifts we gave them. This is great fun as I'm sure many of the regulars here will tell you and explain in the next few weeks. Come on everyone lets tell stories of going to the mailbox every day and finding envelopes and cards from all over the world. Lets have a really great participation this year. I'll use the list and email addresses I have from last year to send out the initial call for addresses. Anyone wanting to be added to the list that is not already there, send me your mailing address as well as a valid email address. Anyone submitting an address that is not a regular on the list will have to be approved by those people who have participated for a number of years. We do not want to share your addresses with trolls. I'll be very careful with your addresses and who gets on the list. I'd like to shoot for having a mostly final list by the 3rd Monday in November.

I don't know if I'll be able to participate this year, but I can certainly testify to how fun it's been in the past. Coming home after a cr*ppy day at work and finding cards from around the world - across the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Thailand (no more, alas! Why'd you have to move, Britta? ;o)), Sweden... It always cheered me up, and I kept them hanging on my wall into March. Then I packed them away, read each card again and looked at the pictures, and they are now in my cellar compartment, along with the cards from all our previous card exchanges.

Sam provides more than enough help, thank you very much, but just in case Sam isn't doing the job right, Barnabus helps out. I get the laptop out and Sam jumps on my lap and Barnabus stretches out on the right arm of my loveseat. Now I'm right-handed so this makes typing difficult but also there isn't room for a laptop between the two cats. Not that I'm complaining...well except when I have to clean the cat hair from the screen. I don't even want to think about how much cat hair has accumulated in the machine.

I may not able to participate this year as my operation will be on November 22. I don't know how I'll feel (6-8 weeks recovery) and I won't be able to drive to the post box to send them anyway in time to get to far flung places like America and Australia :-( Tweed But we can still SEND you cards! > > It is almost September 1 which means I should be working on the holiday > > card list if you would like for me to do it again this year.

I was able to send last year but before that I was being operated on for my eyes, time after time, and then the "c" thing. Now a new problem that means I won't be sending cards this year, probably. I'm sorry. It's embarrassing for me to once again receive and not send. Hopefully this will be my LAST operation.

In the meantime, you HAVE to get cards this year. Aren't you the person who said the people at the local post office and your mail carrier said they were very impressed that you are so important to get lots of mail from overseas? You know you have that reputation to protect! >^.^< Jeanne Hedge, as directed by Natasha ============ http://www.jhedge.com I'd like to be involved again. I'm on a better job now. i might actually be able to get more out!

My first year I was on here, I was depressed and unemployed and pumped full of drugs by my doctors, and I didn't put my name on the card list because I was embarrassed by how broke I was and the fact that my upbringing raised me to never take anything I didn't "earn". CatNipped kicked my a.s for it and I think I deserved it! She said friendship is being able to accept something offered out of affection and not feel there is a "ledger" of "debts" involved, or something to that effect. So, I have no problem at all sending cards to those who cannot send to me. I get a big kick out of writing them--it's really a pleasure to have someone to send to! --Fil I'd like to be on the list. My information hasn't changed from last year. Suz&Spicey >I'd like to be on the list. My information hasn't changed from last year. >Suz&Spicey Me, too. Same as last year. CATherine, Sheba, Djoser, Robin, with Jeff and Shasta (PIGGYBACKING) I saw the message from Julie that she'd do the list, but wasn't ready for addresses yet. Did the call for addresses go out, and I missed it? Because I've moved, so I have to change my address too!
