Got all your Christmas cards and gifts in the mail? Did you remember to "mail early" this year?

This is the first year I think I can say I got everything in the mail on time!

Only thing i sent out this year was x-mas cards & those didn't get out in the mail until Friday morning, which is kinda late for cards.

Got mine in the mail on Tuesday, Dec. 16. I know some of the people got them already because they told me. The gift tags I made are going over well with everyone. It's fun to hear their reaction to them.

In the Christmas card exchange group I joined this year, I think I got 5 cards so far and there are 16 of us total. Some may come after Christmas, but that's ok. Half the fun is waiting to see what others send. We decided that's it's ok to get here after Christmas because if you write Happy Holidays in the card, it's still good until Jan. 1st, which is still a holiday. LOL, that was my idea that I came up with.

I usually sign my cards Merry Christmas and best wishes over the Holidays.

I prefer Merry Christmas but in my card exchange I am dealing with some that aren't so into the religion and another woman is Muslim. I figured I'd use the generic happy holidays to please all.

Uh-huh, better PC than sorry

Tho I have Jewish friends that celebrate Christmas so go figure..

I found x-mas card calenders this year & sent those out. They were neat, never seen them before.

Yes I do the mall after Christmas when all the sales are on and buy for the next year. Almost everything that I buy is 75% off. I pay about 100.00 for 400.00 worth of stuff.
