Surely, there is nothing difficult in that.

B1: 2005
D1: 2006
F1: 2007
etc

B2: Sent
C2: Rec'd
D2: Sent
E2: Rec'd
etc.

A3 down, add your names

Then just put X in the Sent/Rec'd column against the appropriate name and
year.

It would be nice to have a simple Christmas Card list in a template format
(Excel?), with a wide column for NAMES, and small columns for SENT and
RECEIVED (a set for each year, starting with 2005 and ending after 4-5
years...say 2010?)
There is nothing listed in Microsoft's templates section for this, but
only
'contact management'-type downloads. Since I keep most of this information
elsewhere on my PC, I don't want to replicate all of this data...just
their
surname and whether they sent or received a Christmas card!
Seems simple enough, considering all of the other 'unusual' templates you
list, like Halloween gift tags!!!
