Christine, loved the thought but I can only see a red "x" in a box. Is that what you intended? Merry Christmas to all, also.

Christine,
I'm sure your card is fine,
but your Facebook pics won't show up here unless you have made them open to all.

Christmas card in Politics?

Merry, merry Christmas to you too!

Merry Christmas to you all!

Unfortunately Christine, it is still not opening. A picture linked to your FB account may not appear. But wishes are already reaching our hearts. Wish you all the happiness. Ho Ho Ho! Dancing

Thank you, Christine.

We still cannot see the image but as you know, getting there is half the fun.

I think the feeling is quite appropriate to the season: Waiting for the present to be unwrapped.
Oh, the suspense!

Your attempts have encouraged many of us to return your well-meant wishes and extend them to our fellow freedelfians.

Christine,
not a good idea to give your email address publicly here (or anywhere); you are inviting all the spammers to send you lots of unwanted email (not from the regular members, though). You can still edit your post, so may I suggest you wipe off that address.

The address of the Christmas card you tried to link here seems to be an attachment in a message in your Facebook. If you could save it as an image file (JPG, PNG or such) in Facebook or in some public image gallery, it could be linked in a post like other pics shown here.

Christine's Christmas Card





And may I say it's gorgeous!!

Those are all good, and thanks to Christine for starting this e-card thread. I gotta give "hat's off" to J.J.s' card since I love bears.

Not to be curmudgeonly in this wholesome time of year, but I didn't do anything to deserve people's thanks.

... Ok, now I feel curmudgeonly so here's a christmas card:

Thank you Christine for the lovely card. You are very talented!

I have to resort to an animated card. I am sure most of you have seen Jacquie Lawson's animated cards before. She does beautiful work too.

So, Happy Christmas, Merry New Year, and Jolly Holidays to all. :-)

Thank You all for the lovely cards and Good Wishes ! What a great thread.



My father died at Christmas-Time, but I have wonderful memories of the two of us decorating the tree and blasting Christmas songs and singing together... He had many favourites - these are among the top 10...

I love your card Ruby and all the others posted.

When I was child I always wanted to put the Christmas tree up and decorate it on my birthday. I loved the lights on the tree. It made everything beautiful. My mother would let me stay up after everyone had gone to bed in the darkened living room, curled up in a chair in front of the tree until I fell asleep. I loved the scent of the pine needles.:)
