*************2018 Kringle Exchange ***Assignments Sent**************
Checking to see if we have interest in doing a gift exchange again this year... Christmas is really only 3 months away!
If there's interest, I'll coordinate again this year.
***EDIT***
Here we go! For those wishing to participate, Here is what you need to know!
This is our annual Christmas gift exchange. To participate please fill out the form below and email it to DDBBKringle@gmail.com.

Nothing here either; I was wondering the same thing. I am guessing that she has been busier than normal.

Re: *************2018 Kringle Exchange ***Send in your entries!**************
My apologies everyone! I have received your emails and will be sending out matches soon! I got a big promotion at work a few weeks ago and haven’t had the time there as I had planned to organize( I used to have a LOT of down time) Then over this weekend I didn’t have access to a computer as I thought. I’m currently snowed in in Colorado due to the major highways we would take home being closed because of blizzard like conditions. We hope to make it home tomorrow, where I’ll have access to a computer again.

Re: *************2018 Kringle Exchange ***Send in your entries!**************
FYI - due to the Canada Post Strike - you may not get your kringle gift from me until after Christmas....
Re: *************2018 Kringle Exchange ***Send in your entries!**************
YEAH for your promotion!!!!

Re: *************2018 Kringle Exchange ***Assignments Sent**************
My Kringle package went off last Thursday however the post office said it would probably arrive at its destination after Christmas due to a backlog in the postal system.

Re: *************2018 Kringle Exchange ***Assignments Sent**************
It seems shipping is messy all over this year. I've exchanged quite a few elf notes letting people know their gifts are en-route but running late. Christmas shipping is always hit and miss, but this year worse than most it seems. Hang in there everyone, and please keep me in the loop if you don't get your gifts... eventually!
