i haven't seen the post for this years christ mas card exchange. i know it is early but christmas will be here before we know it. chris at lucas usually does this and i emailed her in hoping to get this started. i know this should be in the breakroom but a lot of members including myselfare noot premium members and also like to participate. i really love all the cards i get from you guys, my kids love looking at all the different places they come from. any ways hoping to get some interested parties so we can get this started.
i just got in touch with chris and this is what you need to do if you want to participate. i really love this time of year and it really sets you in the mood for the holidays.to reiterate from seasons past.... any allnurses member can participate in the allnurses christmas card mailing list, even if they are not a premium member. just pm or email me (i prefer email, actually) the following information: remember you do not need to send a card to every one on the list, just send what you can afford with postage today.
your allnurses name
your real name (so your postal carrier will know it is you)
your mailing address, including your zip or postal code
your email address so i can send you the list
then, later chris will start sending out the list by email. in the past i have sometimes remembered how to make it set up like labels, so if you are inclined, you can print it off that way. now, this is christmas, so you don't have to send a card to everyone, but it's kind of nice to do that. however, if you can't for some reason but really wish you could, go ahead and join us. with no exceptions that i know of, we'd all rather send you a card at a time that you particularly need one, than have you sitting this year out because you couldn't afford postage or whatever.
and it goes without saying, the information on this and any previous allnurses christmas card list is confidential, and not to be shared with anyone. if they are on the list, they got a copy. if they lost it, they can email me (i know who signs up!). if they aren't on the list, sorry, they don't get access to the info. it is all set up to protect all of us.....
some people only want to send and receive email greetings. i'd like to encourage the email greetings sector to use the allnurses email or pm functions to send those greetings, rather than the actual christmas card list.
so, let the merriment begin! (even if it is a little early..... )
maybe we can make this a stickie like last year, eh, mods?

email with my info sent! I can't wait to send and receive cards! I don't usually get many cards since I am divorced after a long marriage and some how you seem to lose all your couple friends! Happy Holidays!

(((Lexi))) honey, you will definitely be at the top of my list, then.
I am really excited to see all the interest. I'll put the list together this weekend and send it out to the email addresses you have provided. If you have posted here that you are interested and I don't see you on the list, I may try to email you--I think that part will still work! In any case, I'll post when I send out the list, and if you don't receive one, then either I didn't get your email, or one of us entered your email address wrong (you'd be surprised! LOL).
What a great way to start the season!
Thanks, all of you, especially rn-jane, for prompting this list. I'm pleased to see that it is in general nursing too, rather than the breakroom. In years past, people thought it was only for paid members..... (it's for all of us!)
I love this way of letting fellow nurses around the world know we are thinking of them during the festive season - and my kids tease me that I get so many cards from all over the world - I'm in again for this year!
I would love to also-dont see the link though? Help?!?
I just sent you an email so you can participate. Anyone having any trouble just post here and I or chris will get in touch with you if you are not able to pm or email due to not having 15 posts. We want everyone who has a desire to partipate to be offered the chance.
:yeah:Thank you all for the ability to send and recieve Christmas cards from all over. I love to mail cards at the holidays and am always on the look-out for extra cute or different type cards but end up with so many that they sit around, unsent.

Happy Holidays!
