Luvmom | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 05:50 pm     Count me in too. |
Azriel | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 05:53 pm     Sounds like a great idea to me. I think we should set a specific time to reveal what our gifts were, too. Have our own party thread and everyone join into the thread that day and reveal who they drew and what their present to that person is. It will be fun! We can even decorate the thread with Christmas decorations ahead of time  |
Mak1 | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 06:09 pm     That does sound like lots of fun, Azriel!  |
Miss_Wings | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 06:24 pm     I'm in. |
Tess | Sunday, November 09, 2003 - 10:38 pm     We can't forget Hannukah and Kwanzaa and any other holidays I can think of off the top of my head for this time of year. We're Christmas at my house but this is the most fabulous idea to celebrate anyone's holidays and beliefs. yay! oh, and I'm already in. |
Djgirl | Monday, November 10, 2003 - 09:46 am     My best friend & I do this every year - we get pictures of our gifts - the Christmas after 9/11 I received a picture of a beautiful dresser that had been shipped from San Diego, CA to New York to be auctioned off and the proceeds went to help the 911 fund. Last year I donated toys in honour of her son and sent them a picture of the pile I took to the Children's gift fund. She donated blankets & warm clothes to the needy families in Mexico in my name. I'm definitely in!!! |

Stilllurking | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 07:33 am     Zmom, what a heartfelt idea! Please count me in. |
Abby7 | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 02:09 pm     Zachsmom: I just learned that I will be out of town longer than previously planned. I will have limited access to the internet. So, to be safe, better take my name off the holiday exchange. I don't know if I will be on the computer during the exchange. Still, a really thoughtful idea. |
Pamy | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 02:43 pm     When are we doing this?? Do we know details yet? |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 06:39 pm     Pamy, I want to keep this open until the day after USA's Thanksgiving, to ensure everyone who wants to participate can. I can't believe how many people want to participate!!! Tess, you're cute sorry you can't participate Abby, maybe next year? |
Meme9 | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 07:42 pm     Zmom, I'll be away for a few day after Thanksgiving. So, if you could give my name to someone who may have more time than money, and likes kids. Just thought this may help someone. |
Zachsmom | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 09:35 pm     Meme- I was going to wait for everyone who wants to join until the day after Thanksgiving, and then I would draw names and post the results. It doesn't matter to me what day you do the exchange |
Fabnsab | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 09:40 pm     What a great idea, Zachsmom! Count me in. |
Meme9 | Tuesday, November 11, 2003 - 09:58 pm     Oh ok, Thanks! |
Texannie | Wednesday, November 12, 2003 - 06:16 am     Zmom, we go to Purgatory (aka the inlaws house) for Thanksgiving, so I wouldn't be back till late Sunday. But I am in! |
