2008 Holiday Gift Exchange - DETAILS HERE!

[paris]

You and I think alike, Twirl.  Make it really hard to get into so you won't be tempted!   My philosophy on presents is that while they are wrapped, they could be anything in the world. Anything your imagination can think of.  When you open it, it could be a disappointment.  I love a wrapped present and it can sit there forever being anything I want it to be!   I think my logic goes back to my 12th birthday.  It was summer and I was staying with family friends for a few weeks in Washington DC.  It was my birthday, and I got a small package from Mom!  I was so very excited to get mail and was really getting homesick.  So, I opened it with the friends (including 6 children)watching and it was a bra!!  With a note saying "I thought you might need this".    So, the package was much more exciting than the actual gift.     Please, Secret Santa, don't be cruel (unless it is Victoria's Secret!).

Mine is all set...I mailed it from work though so it probably won't be processed until Monday or Tuesday.  Either way, it will definitely be there by the beginning of December!

Dear Secret Santa, I am not patient, but I will wait for the next 35 days 1 hour and 40 minutes until Christmas!

What if there is a gerbil inside??

then, only 33 days, 1 hour and 36 minutes for it to try to chew its way through the box

imagine the surprise on the receipent's face when the box walks away! 
But, when I was mailing my present it asked to make sure there were no illegal items or animals...

[boxman55]

No wonder why the P.O. was mad at me, I wrapped the box I was shipping and stuck the address labels and postage on the bow itself.
 

Hey Chris, I recieved the bow, thanks...Boxman

[TynyWonder]

I did not wrap my box either...........nor did I think about wrapping it............oh well, live & learn maybe next year, I will do better...........but as far as waiting until Christmas to open my presents, I like to wait as I love surprises................

Santa  picked up my xmas gift on Nov. 19th and it is enroute to NC 

[twirl]

[twirl]

I am not allergic to any type of candy I always smell good and I have been known to be a clown...Boxman

three characteristics of a good man

[kellyt]

I agree, Twirl.  I can't believe Boxman's not married already. 

[twirl]

I know, Kellyt, and he is super cute
and he is kind to animals
and he knows how to read
the list just keeps getting better and better

[willieandwinnie]

I'd marry Boxman but Len might not like it much. 

[pelagia]

I'd marry Boxman but Len might not like it much. 

I have some nice single girlfriends, but they are all Democrats 

[petey]

I'd marry Boxman but Len might not like it much.

I'd marry Boxman, too, but...there's that gerbil fettish he has...then, what would I do with Marvin?...and, besides, I'm holding out for RichardMel !

(By the way, Okarol, my Secret Santa package has been sent!  I hope it gets there safe and sound and soon.)

[twirl]

  I started the gerbil rumor
Boxman, being the gentleman that he is, just went along with it
 

[okarol]

Some gerbils are cuter than others

[twirl]

put a bushy tale on him and he would look like a squirrel

Twirl, That's not a very nice thing for you to say about Boxman...        



 

[Mimi]

oooooooooooo no gerbils for me please.  They look too much like rats.  And rats are the things
that make me dance on the table.

Mimi

[Mimi]

Oh Okarol I forgot to mention it will Tuesday before I can mail my secret santa box.  One of the
things won't be in till Monday.

Mimi

[kitkatz]

Rats and gerbils! Oh my we are getting pretty exotic on here with our gift ideas.

-

You know me, I'm always one to be helpful - now don't worry about Marvin, I'll take him off your hands     I can take Len too if that's any help...................or would it be easier if I took Boxman, after all I think these gerbils are cute  

Sorry I missed to get on the gift exchange list this year with Dad being in hospital but it sounds like you are all having fantastic fun choosing your gifts, hope to be able to join in next year, in the meantime here's a bunny for all of you who don't like gerbils

I'm sure we would all be happy to have you send us gifts just to stay in practice this year.  Have a great Thanksgiving.
