Ladies,

Our topic about "collectibles" has sparked an idea in my tired brain.

Two things:

1. Wouldn't it be fun to do a boomer gift exchange this year.

It would be a "white elephant exchange. A white elephant is something you have in your home - that you would be HAPPY to bless someone else with (i.e. YOU don't want it) lol


2. The other thing, is that it would be fun to have the option to send Christmas cards to each other.

I would be willing to put the list together. (unless someone else would like to volunteer)

What do you think?

Danita

As long as everyone on the list doesn't ask for REAL pink 50 dollar bills, I think it's a wonderful idea. "White elephant" exchanges could be fun. Would the exchangees and exchangers just agree by PM to match up or would we/someone pick participating names out of a virtual hat?

Sounds like a fun idea. I would definitely like list for Christmas cards.

PS I like your title "Boomer Holiday"...maybe we could call it that so that nobody gets left out, since not everyone celebrates Christmas.

I think the White Elephant and card exchange are a great idea. I did this with another list I used to be on, but after a while the gift giving got out of hand. White Elephants would eliminate that problem.

I'd prefer a grey elephant, like Dumbo... [Big Grin]
He's so cute.

O.K.

PM me your REAL name and address if you are interested in the card exchange and/or white elephant. Please also PM me your email address. (please specifiy if you only want to be included in one or the other)

I will compile the list and get it out.
I will also pull names for everyone.

I will plan on collecting names and addresses until Dec. 11th. Does that work for everyone?

D.

P.S. Dots, I hope this is o.k. with you! (big smile)

Thank you very much (humble smile)! Do I know how to party, or WHAT?

It will be fun to participate in the holidays as a group!

This way too...nobody will have to be alone. (sniffles).

Daniiiiiita!

How cute are you? Do you lay awake at night thinking up this stuff? Or maybe you have adult ADD - if you do, let's hope your offspring has the gene!

I'm in!
