For those of you outside the USA, type it just like you would when sending a package or letter. With so many e-mails to read, following these instructions will help me quickly identify the Ornament Exchange emails and allow me to cut and paste your address into the data base and return e-mails. It will save me a lot of time and stress. Those who do not follow these instructions, their e-mails may be overlooked and or deleted.
Please understand, I am not trying to be difficult with these instructions/rules or spoil the fun. After doing this for several years I know what works. I have had problems in the past especially with e-mails where people would write me and include their information I need in the body of their e-mails. Makes it real hard to copy and paste which keeps me from doing a whole lot of typing. So please read and follow.
Ho, Ho, Ho, thanks for you cooperation
Santa Russ
