Just out of curiousity - X-mas cards?

The list is for those who want to send cards to everyone who is on it.

Yup, PMing them and exchanging addresses is the only fair way to go about it if you don't want to send to everyone.

If someone can't afford to do the mailing to everyone, then they shouldn't sign up.

I definitely agree with this. If you only want to send to a select few, then just talk with them, don't sign up for the list.

This is not even close to *everyone* on Pet Talk, lol....

Aly, I was not a member in 2001, but I know for a fact that the list I got last year had less then 30 on it. However, I too think that we could find a way to do it, if hundreds joined.

Some of them have been mentioned here. Other ways could be, either first and second half of the alfabet (and people could still send to the ones they feel closer to). Or the list could be split up in 2 age groups. (also here, you can still choose to send to some of the others).

I have a feeling that many would not join, if the amount of cards to send was over 60, or thereabouts. Some can’t afford it and some don’t have the time. I would rather not do this as mass mailing, but take time to make it bit more personal.

Well, I can also see the dilemma in sending only to some, so maybe keeping out of the list is be the best solution. I really don’t know, just thought I’d like to hear your inputs on the subject. Thanks for your opinions!

Oh, and I do love the element of surprize on who I'm getting X-mas cards from.

That's kind of how I feel too.

I participated in the 2001 Christmas Card list, but last year
& this year I really couldn't commit to sending that many cards.
I would love to send Chrismas greetings to old friends of Pet Talk,
but do understand the reasons for not wanting to leave some
people off any lists. So I decided to not sign up at all this year.
