And it was sooooooo much fun!!! Makes the holidays more enjoyable when you know you are making someone else smile and you gat a big smile on your face in return!!!
Thank you, Chris, for all you put into this! It was a truly wonderful experience and I especially like reading what everybody received. Boy, do I ever have ideas for next year!!
Thanks so much for organizing what must have been a monumental task. This is my 1st year participating and it was so much fun. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
All I can say is Thank You....you all have truly touched me this year!!! And I do want to say - this was MY pleasure to do this, especially this year. Most of you know I lost my mom 4 months ago today and thinking about the holidays was very hard. But I HAD to do the exchange this year. My mom LOVED Christmas and what better way for me to help deal with mom not being here!!! Kind of a tribute to her.... and I LOVE to see others happy and the kindness the others show to others they may or may not even know!!!!
And what better way to make a new DISpal then to do this exchange!!!!! I was so surprised by the amount of people that signed up this year - we had over 250 people!!! I have gotten to know some people that I probably would have never known and to me that makes it all worth it!!!!
I do plan on doing this again next year barring any unforseen circumstances (which I've had enough this year so I'm determined that next year WILL be much better). I have one request though - the hardest part of this exchange this year was all the other exchanges going on. Perhaps next year we can maybe not have SO many at one time. Just a thought.
Need to add one more thing:

I am sending a huge thanks to you dec99,i love being involved in the christmas ornament exchange,thanks for helping me make ssure of everything with caitycaity.
Thanks Chris' this ornament exchange meant so much to me. It made a dismal Christmas a little brighter for me. You have no idea how much this meant to us. I know it was a lot of hard work, but it was wonderful. Have a happy Holiday and a great New Year.
I'd like to add my thanks to Chris on this thread. This is one of the highlights of the year, in my opinion. It is so much fun to participate, and to see everyone's reaction.
