The Yule Tree...

Every year I start what is called the Yule Tree. It's a network of people who send each other Yule cards in the mail.

It's quite simple really, if you'd like to get a card or send a card - you post your name here. People can contact you privately for your mailing address.

Be warned, I often drop little gifties inside the card.

I did this last year, and I got over 200 cards in the mail. For each one you receive, you send one back.

I am a tree, but also part of the forest.

2009 Update:
If you want to participate in the Secret Santa - send me your name. I'm saving them on a word doc, that I'll cut up and send out. Everyone who participates will be given a name, it will be sent out in the mail. Once you have your name, you take the responsibility for sending a small gift to that person, and you will-in-turn receive a small gift from your own Secret Santa.

I start sending Yule cards on 12/1/09.
The secret santa names will be sent out in your Yule card, which will be mailed 12/1/09.

**I extended the Secret Santa to 12/1 to give people more time for participation.

**please include your full legal name and mailing address to participate. (private email)

** Remember, the more people you share your mailing addy with, the more people you will exchange greeting cards with. I'm maintaining a list of my own Yule Cards to send, as well as keeping track of the Secret Santa. It is up to YOU, to send your address to other participants.

when you send e-cards useing them, it helps save the rainforest and such. they have sponors and such for that. So if you can't send stuff via snail mail, and want to use e-cards and save the rainforest or whatever use www.care2.com its a great place for that.; ▶ Reply to This

A few weeks ago, I joyfully joined this discussion regarding the Yule exchange. I had all these wonderful plans on how I was going to make them and all, but it turns out that I will not be able to send any out this year. Things are really tough right now and stamps alone to all of you would put a bit of a dent into my already tiny budget. I already have the resposibility and commitment with the wedding and well, unfortunately, we just can't do it this year.

I'm sorry and I hope you all will understand.......LBM; ▶ Reply to This
