You'll find me sitting on the curb waiting for the postman each day! Lol I ran out of room last year and had to start taping them to my French doors. Lol

Thank you !

I'll give it some thought . . .

We're in! YT members made our holiday so joyful last year!

On Nov.30th., I was trying to re-take Yazmin's photos for our cards but suffered a stroke that day instead! I can laugh about now because at the time, the Paramedics kept asking, "Why is Toto dressed up like Mrs.Claus?"

While in the hospital and for weeks later, I received so many beautiful cards from YT members, it definitely brightened my spirits and made my Christmas one that I'll always remember!

Can I ask that you change the name back to holiday card exchange so others of different religions feel free to participate?

The holiday card exchange is a favorite tradition of mine!

Can do. I sure don't want to exclude anyone in on the fun

I remember your thread, bless your heart. I was really sad to see so many going through such difficult times last year. The HCE really does bring members together. Thanks for sharing your story.

And Yazmin is such a cutie in her holiday wear!

Dawn, I think you will enjoy it. The minimum requirement is 5 cards sent to members below you on the list and photos with themes are optional.

What an adorable photo of Yazmin. That was so sweet for so many members to send you card in order to lift your spirits during such a horrifying situation !!

Oh that sounds doable ... Count us in !

Speaking of Christmas, I took this photo a few year back the Christmas after we had Quincy's manhood snipped.

I call it my "All I want for Christmas" photo.

Oh my! I'm sorry about your health situation last year but I've got to admit I'm sitting here laughing out loud looking at Yasmin's photo & picturing her running around the house looking like that with the paramedics there! She's darling! Take care.

Who is Thinking on Joining this Year?

Thank you for doing such a great job organizing this last year and appreciate all your upcoming effort for this year too!

So sorry that happened to you last year. How very awful. But, I gotta admit I admire your sense of humor, even in in the face of adversity.

Thank you everyone for your kind words, I've recovered very well since last year!

I can't begin to thank all the magnificent YT members who sent us cards, it truly made our holiday a blessing.

Thank you Tessa327 for doing such a wonderful job organizing the holiday card exchange, we're looking forward to participating again this year.

Dawn, The photo of Quincy is hysterical! I'd would've loved to have received that one on a holiday card also!

Thank you Lisa, I'm so much better now.

I admit, I was a little annoyed with the Paramedics for calling Yazmin, "Toto" but I'm sure it's not everyday they run into Yorkie's dressed up like Mrs.Claus in November either!

I remember after getting out of the hospital, I read where someone was so frustrated because they couldn't get a perfect photo of their dogs for the Christmas Card Exchange. I thought, "Oh Dear Lord"!

I replied and told them to be happy with what they had, the stress of a perfect photo wasn't worth having a stroke!

Teresiana · 08-05-2013, 06:16 AM

Count me in too
