just want to share a thought..

For those cuties who have been around awhile.. Do you remember the exchange of birthday or Christmas gifts ? That were always a very nice moments for me.. waiting for a gift to arrive from someone of the world.. creating something for someone you have never met...
I can understand that this was a lot of work to organise.. But doesn't mean that I miss it..

I loved those exchanges. Must have been a big job organizing it though and worrying that everyone took care of their exchange! I always tried to figure out who sent me the gift!! Merry Christmas and hugs to you, Laura

Hi Linda, yes, I remember it and was in it from the beginning. Of course, living in Australia our postage was a killer, but I didn't mind as it was only once a year.

Maybe for those who know each other's address it could be revived, too late for me now as our overseas parcel date to get things before Christmas has passed. Never mind, merry Christmas to you my friend, love Chris

I joined in the last year it was done. It was fun and I think Sue organized it. Like gerryvb said the cost of postage , especially international, is ridiculously high to send anything. If I remember, I asked Sue to give me a name in the USA because of that.

Indeed, it was a nice project.
However it will not be easy nowadays,
because of all the rules and costs for sending packages.
the costs can be very high due to the changed customs rules, especially between the different parts of the world.😥

I do remember this. And it was always fun to see the folks post the pictures of their gifts and hear the joy in their posts. We have always been such a generous bunch of folks. Thanks for bringing back such beloved, feel good memories.
