Christmas Cards

[gini]

"Me too! Me too!"...........says Rascal

(oh, yeah, right, Rascal, just because you are the "feature" of my Christmas card for 2002 - you want THE WORLD to receive them).

[wolf_Q]

OK I guess that is YES!! lol. Yeah I was talking about real *snail mail* cards. We'll have to organize a Christmas committee to get it all working lol. I think the addresses should be emailed to somebody then sent to everyone else....definitely not posted online.

[AmberLee]

Yes, I would like to participate this year. There were two projects going on at Christmas time last year and I thought the talk of 'Christmas Cards' was a secret cover for the other project. By the time I caught on that there were physical cards and photos being sent ... too late!

Oh, well, I'll be ready this year!

COUNT ME IN TOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love getting lots of cards , i always hang them on a ribbon !!

[Former User]

Count me in too.

And I can keep track of the address if no-one else can. I love these kinds of things.

Have to note though, that there's NO WAY in the world I can afford to send cards to all the people on the list Just have to be the closest ones I *really* know here at PT.

I know Niina, it's always getting very expensive to send cards. Especially sending them internationally. From Germany to the USA it's 1,53 Euro for a normal card with envelope. When we send out our cards to the US (many of our relatives live in the US and Canada), we always have to take a deep breath and post them. It's so expensive.

So, for the snail mail I have to limit my cards too

[lynnestankard]

Great Idea - include me in too!! But as Niina and Brigitte say - it's going to be very expensive to 'snail' mail the states - would people be offended if they received ecards instead?

Niina & Brigitte! If that's the price for one card, you're right, it would be rather costly, so perhaps as Lynne suggest, we can send e-cards to some. I certainly would not be offended!

Ps. I just checked. It looks like a letter less than 20 g is 0,67 Euro
and up to 50 g it is 1.68 in DK. That's to outside Europe, not too bad!

[C.C.'s Mom]

German mail is expensive. Last year we mailed from the Netherlands instead. Much cheaper and faster.

I love getting ecards too! I just print them out and hang them with my other cards I would love to get (or send) either, as I know it is very expensive.
This sounds like so much fun Did I hear someone say they got pictures with some of the cards also? Oh, that would be awesome, I love sending pics with my cards.

Last year ZippyKat (Tonya) was kind enough to make a separate list of addresses and then she privately emailed them to us.

I have to tell you that when the first Christmas card arrived and it had a picture of our MIZ SOPHIE enclosed I just sat down and hugged it.

It was so much fun getting cards from all of the people at Pet Talk that you have gotten to know and love.

But - our list has grown and happily we have many people from around the world and it can become expensive. An e-card that costs nothing, would be no less fun than receiving a printed one in the mail.

[Cookiebaker]

I would love to be in on this too! However I am a little paranoid about giving my home address out (long story). But if it's e-cards, I am definitely interested!!!!

[Albea]

Yes, count me in, last year I received as many cards as I sent to Pet Talk friends. However, this year my cards may be very late or just arrive by e-mail. Unlike Logan, I'm not moving or getting married but from September to February, because of membership renewals and holiday donations, it is the very busy season for Yankee Golden Retriever Rescue. Since my volunteer job is to send "thank you" notes to all donors, that means 200 to 300 pieces of mail a week It's wonderful for the Goldens awaiting adoption and YGRR is growing fast, over 3,000 members and counting...
As you well know (and understand) the pups come first in my schedule. So, if I'm late or you don't get a real card from me, you will know why.

[wolf_Q]

I think when we organize all of this, the information we email to the appointed person should be this:

Name
Address
Email Address
Pet Talk ID
Pets names and breeds

That way you can send real cards to some, and e-cards to others, as long as you send something to everyone!! I'm going to be sending snail mail cards to as many as I can afford, because I like them better.

Would it be better to have two lists, the e.mail list for those who don't or can't send regular christmas cards and one for regular cards, I think I worked with Zippy-Cat last year and there were two lists.
The one list was for people who wanted to send and receive christmas cards, and another list for those who def. wanted to send and receive e.mail cards.
