Ranger and I are IN!

Question, though, when do we get the list for the cards?  I usually order a photo one of me and the big guy to send out and want to make sure I order enough.   :)

I would LOVE to do it again this year but I'll have to check with my hubby first. It cost me a killing to send my package last year. LOL

This thread is cracking me up.  It reminds me of the anxiety  the kids have as they have to wait to open presents until AFTER the holiday dinner.  Everyone is always so giddy and excited..  It's really funny.  I'm super excited to be a part of the BPO Holiday gift exchange.

And last and most certainly NOT least, Linus 5 year old cat.

I'm in for both.

Now as a fairly new BPO'er, can someone explain exactly how this works?  Is it a Secret Santa kind of thing, or do we know who our recipient(s) are?

And how does the card exchange work?

Just put miss Libby's name on for both ~ last year being one of the 'newbies' it was sooo much fun, and a great chance to meet the members in the chat opening... but OMG it goes fast so grab a drinky or 2 and jump in when you can ;D

I was telling my husband about this while I was getting the email ready to send with the pup's info ... he thinks we're all doggy crazy.   ;D  About the cards - do you just make your own off your puter?  or maybe just insert your doggy's pictures in a card? ... *laffin*  I'm excited and I'd really like to know what type of glue you use to have all your dogs sit in one picture taking area at once? ???

Yeah!!

Harley and I are in for both!!!
Time to start looking for some good cards - and trying to get a picture of Harley where he actually has eyes!!

For the first time people (this is only my second year) this would be a good time to start learning to type fast - I've never seen messages fly so quickly as when we were in the chat room when the pups opened their gifts it was such fun!

Looking forward to it

Randy

Oh, and we're in!  ;D

I'm going to bite the bullet this year and do the card exchange, too.  I was just too jealous listening to everyone go on and on about how great the cards have been.  I've only done the gift exchange in the past because I can't be trusted to mail out Christmas cards.  I can't tell you how many times I have bought, addressed, and even stamped Christmas cards, only to forget to mail them.  I'm counting on you guys to help me remember through my senility. ;D

hahaha!! You know what's really funny? The last two years, the only Christmas cards I've sent out on time - or at all - have been my BPO Christmas Cards!! How's that for dog crazy!

The only reason my Christmas cards got out on time last year was because of BPO!!!!  I sent them all out at the same time.  I have 3 windows in the front of my house and I placed a red ribbon down the middle of each window last year and hung the cards on them and still had a ton for the mantle and entertainment center!!  AND Daphne's present was the first present under the tree!
God placed me on this earth to accomplish certain tasks...I'm so far behind I'll never die!!
