I am so sorry but I have to remove my name from the Christmas card swap this year because DH lost his job a few days ago-we are on one income due to my chronic migraines. It'll be the first time I haven't particpated in the swap in 5 years. I was hoping I could still do it but after just chatting with DH he said it'd be much less stress on him finances wise if I bowed out this year. I'm going to send Leowife a PM but I thought I'd better send this too since the final list with names has already been posted. Please don't send my any Christmas cards on the swap because this year I won't be able to send any out. Thanks so much for your understanding.

Don't be surprised if you still get some cards. Many of us will want to support you and don't care about getting a card in return.
I hope he finds a great and better position, quickly.

Both of our husbands lost their jobs this week!
I know the anxiety you are feeling right now! Reach out to me if you want, so we can commiserate together. 😢

I'm sure that you will still get cards and nobody will be expecting one in return. Please don't feel guilty that you are unable to send any out this year. You've always been very generous with your Christmas mailings in past years. I'm so sorry your husband has lost his job, and I hope he is able to find something else quickly. ETA: Please keep us updated about your husband's search for a new job. You too Sanibel. |

I’m so sorry about your DH’s job. Hoping he finds something really great, and fast. I’m not in the Christmas card exchange this year, but I’m going to send Sanibel a card, and would love to send you one, too. Pretty sure I have your address around here somewhere, but it would help if you’d send it to me, anyway. Feel better. |

Awe, I'd still like to send you one. Christmas to me isn't about receiving. I just want to spread happiness. Life can be so dark at times I've been there too. I hope things will be better soon ((hugs))

My DH was laid off after 23 years in June, so I understand your stress. Sending you good vibes he finds something quickly, and I'm still sending you a card. One year DH was in the hospital most of December and at one point things looked grim. I only sent out my international cards, and one small batch of US cards before he got sick, and I felt terrible. The only Christmas decorations we had that year were a table top tree and the cards from the Peas. That wall of cards was like a huge Christmas package filled with kindness my family will never forget. Please enjoy every card you receive.  |

Oh my gosh you guys! I'm feeling such warmth and joy from all of your heartfelt responses Thank you all so much for what you wrote and for those that are planning to send me a card anyway. That is so kind of you. I'm feeling so much more hopeful about DH's job prospects and the future. Thank you all again! |

Sorry about the job situation, however if your name is on the list , you will get a card from me! Enjoy it. No worries about a return card. I am also sure many others feel the same way!

I'm with the others! Not taking anyone off! I don't care if I don't get one card, I join because I enjoy the giving (of course, the receiving is so cool too because y'all are so talented & thoughtful!)! I'm so sorry for those who are dealing with job woes this time of year. I know how it feels... seems like the only two times I was "laid off" from a job was right before Thanksgiving!  Hang in there!! |

I am saddened by the news about you DH, and hope the time before another door opens will be very short. And I hope you are cheered by the card response from your “Pea Friends “. Enjoy 😉
